House has time to become obsessed with a soap opera? So obsessed that he can diagnose an actor from such things as his pauses increasing from 2.1 seconds to 2.9 seconds?
And when all the symptoms conveniently get worse at just the right time and all the red herrings have finally been chased away and he stumbles on his right-but-wrong diagnosis of an allergy, why would it take twice the accepted limit of steroids to treat the patient?

Perhaps the Jericho writers have found new jobs.
The Two and Half Men/CSI episode was very funny last night.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Yes, it was. And Thursday's CSI episode was written by writers for Two and a Half Men. It's certainly a different way of crossing shows (last May it was CSI/Without a Trace).

The Two and a Half Men were on CSI? As investigators or victims?

It was a regular episode of 2.5 Men, but with a CSI tie-in - Teddy, the character played by Robert Wagner was found dead shortly after marrying Alan's and Charlie's mother. There were some CSI look-alikes (one for Marg Helgenberger and one for George Eads - Katherine and Nick on CSI) and some of the famous CSI-type forensic/medical photos (one showed a strawberry dropping on Jake's shirt and soaking into the fibers, another showed him eating a cocktail weiner).
It turns out that he and his "daughter" (played by Jenna McCarthy) were actually grifters and lovers, and she killed him.

Writers for CSI wrote an episode of 2 1/2. The writers for 2 1/2 return the favor on Thursdays episode of CSI.
And if anybody is confused that I could laugh at the morally bankrupt 2 1/2 Men and decry the apparent moral bankruptcy of our youth in my very next post, all I can say is sometimes I to am confused.

I laugh at 2.5 Men because of its absurdity; I weep at things like the celebration of thug life because it's reality.

House has always been a soap fan. He used to watch in coma-guy's room, but then they woke coma-guy up.
I don't remember "why the big dose" of steriods (except that the guy was near death & need that big a dose to snap him out of it?).

Why didn't they use the CSI actors? That would have been funny. But I, like Charlie, found the lady CSI's top very distracting.

In the interest of pedantry and accuracy, the "daughter" didn't kill him, he died as a result of a joint activity in which they were engaged.
