Well, the beloved TV show House is over, but for those of us who are still
“addicted” and need our “fix”, just like Dr. Gregory House did, there’s the
upcoming drama: Flip This House!
Yes, Dr. House told everyone that his leg injury was due to a paintball game
that led to a later injury on the golf course (I had to look it up on Wikipedia, so I hope this is acurrate), but that was just so everyone
would think he was a badass! But in truth what happened is that he was involved
in NCAA college gymnastics before a serious fall injured his leg for life. He had
a special high-bar move that was a double double-release backflip off the top of the bar
before anyone else was doing it, but he missed the bar once, and he landed on
his leg wrong, causing his lifelong leg pain. And this new TV show will show us
Gregory House’s college life, helping us understand why he grew up to be
the character that he did.
So in Flip This House,
a young Gregory House will enter college as an eager teenager, leading to his
joining the gymnastics team and learning to do tumbling, front and back flips
(hence the name of the show), high bar, parallel bars, rings, and vault. Then
we’ll watch his skills grow until eventually, in Season 4, he has his
disastrous accident at a big NCAA gymnastics meet that leads to his lifelong
leg injury, scaring all Americans out of gymnastics for years to come! And
that’s why this show is being financed by Russian and Chinese backers who want
to defeat the United States in gymnastics at the next Olympic Games. But never
mind that: It’s Flip This House,
coming to a TV set near you next year!
