have become really obsessed recently with the fact that house md takes place in new jersey. because obviously the show itself doesnt make much reference to the larger city that surrounds it, PPTH (more commonly known as malpractice general) is only in princeton because its a relatively big city that doesnt have any widely-known stereotypes associated with it. primarily, house is a medical drama that needs to be situated somewhere that it makes logical sense for a vast variety of interesting cases to take place.

but dear god they’re in JERSEY. the opportunities that were lost. a patient comes in with delusions that the jersey devil is haunting them. a street performer at the shore suddenly loses use of his arms and nobody can explain why. a woman that is obviously supposed to be Snookie but they couldnt actually get the real snookie so its just some actress who kind of looks like her is the patient of the week. some guy comes in with a really stereotypical jersey accent and it turns out to be a symptom of a neurological problem (he’s from maine, has only lived in jersey for 6 months. the problem is like. some sort of bacteria that exists only in maine. or something. idfk)
