They are actually working Hugh Laurie's actual balding into the show. That's crazy. I never thought Fox would do that.
House has been wearing hair appliances and stuff for the last few seasons. How are they going to explain this huge bald spot after he went into the asylum with a full head of hair only a few months ago?

Stress. It can cause your hair to fall out in large patches which may or may not grow back.
I think that's really cool and I want to see how people react to it. First they were like "He's not American???" and now they'll be "He's balding???"
I bet Hugh had something to do with it, being fed up with wearing fake hair (he stopped wearing the fake hair to award shows and to talk shows and even SNL when he did when he first started doing House). This puts an interesting spin on the whole idea of House being a sex symbol or whatever.
I wish I could pull off the bald look. I think when done appropriately, it looks awesome....see Terry O'Quinn of LOST or Michael Chiklis on The Shield.
I'm a big fan of House. Can't wait.

The bald look is different from balding though...there's dignity when you shave it off (and don't grow a goatee or wear thick rim glasses compensate) as compared to a big bald spot on the back of your head.
Excellent. I like the fact they went for a completely new story arc. There is only so much of House being House at the hospital that they can do. Although it was tremendous TV just the same, it takes guts to completely change the dynamic of the show when it is being so successful. Best show on TV, looking forward to the new season.
I hope they do try a different direction this season. Season 5 was okay but some of the story arcs were a little too "90210" for my taste, and sometimes the spotlight would stray away from the medical mystery aspect and go too far in the direction of relationships and personal issues. It felt like the "Kutner" episode (won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it) could have been introduced with "this week, on a very special episode of House..." and they even had the gall to end it with a public service announcement.
The writers also seemed to take a lot of liberties with House's character, in the past it always seemed like he was someone you could pity and respect at the same time while in season 5 he was a little too sympathetic. The season finale was a step in the right direction as it brought House closer back towards that dichotomy character that makes him so intriguing and I hope they continue with that in season 6. "The look" between House and Wilson at the very end of the episode pretty much summed it up perfectly and was one of the most powerful scenes that I can remember in recent television.
I think the first few episodes will be really good, and then it might go downhill. And downhill significantly.
Don't get me wrong, I love the show, and I hope I'm wrong, but I think we jumped the shark with the end of last season. I can't see how they are going to keep a successful format without it getting cheesy with him in the hospital unless they completely deviate from the original concept of the show.
His bald spot seems covered up in this video. Perhaps they didn't get it there for the first trailer and during filming FOX used that spray on stuff lol.
Great clip though, I am glad to get away from the hospital and the usual cast.
