House is pretty good, but I keep expecting Hugh Laurie to appear on screen in a powdered wig and melon hose.

Given how close Hugh Laurie was to being typecast as a foppish and cheerful idiot early in his career (between Blackadder and Jeeves & Wooster), it's really amazing that he'll probably be most remembered for playing a grumpy genius.
