THE CASE OF A TEENAGE PATIENT WITH MALE AND FEMALE DNA

SENDS THE TEAM IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS

ON “HOUSE” MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, ON FOX

The team encounters a teenage boy who collapsed from severe pelvic pain after playing basketball. Tests reveal the boy has genetic mosaicism, or both male and female DNA, and the boy’s parents inform House and the team that the boy is unaware of his condition. They consciously chose a gender for him when he was born and raised him accordingly, never telling him about his unique condition. However, when his condition worsens and his life is threatened, the parents wonder whether they made the right decision. Meanwhile, Cuddy and Wilson suspect something is wrong with House when he starts acting way too nicely. When they discover the shocking answer, they must face the prospect that House may be changed forever in “The Softer Side” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, Feb. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/ PT) on FOX.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan 28, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Maybe it’s his new 10 pm nightly show, but whatever it is, Jay Leno has become America’s favorite TV personality for the first time, moving up from number 3 last year. TV’s crankiest doctor, or rather Hugh Laurie, the man who plays Doctor House, is number 2 on the list, up from number 4 last year and last year’s number one, Ellen DeGeneres, is now at number 3. Rounding out the top 5 television personalities are two talk show hosts, Oprah Winfrey at number 4 and David Letterman at number 5.

These are some of the results of The Harris Poll(R) of 2,388 U.S. adults surveyed online between December 9 and 15, 2008 by Harris Interactive(R).

More than Two and a Half Men

Next on the top ten list of America’s favorite television personalities is Jon Stewart, of The Daily Show, at number 6, down from number 5 last year. Then there are two new-comers to the list – Charlie Sheen of Two and a Half Men, and Steve Carrell of The Office, debuting at number 7 and 8 respectively. Finally, rounding out the list and tied at number 9 are Stephen Colbert, down from number 6 last year, and Mark Harmon of NCIS who is new to the list this year.

Some actors are just Lost

As there are three new stars on our top ten list this year that means three people have dropped off of the list, including Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, who was number 8 last year. Also, it seems everyone does not love Ray as Ray Romano; who was tied for number 9 last year. Homer Simpson, who was also tied for number 9, has also fallen from the list.

Different Groups have their own Greatest American Hero, or rather Favorite TV Star

Different groups have different favorites. Men, for example, choose Jay Leno as their favorite television star while women say their favorite is Ellen DeGeneres. Women are also divided among themselves. For single women, their number one is Hugh Laurie, while Ellen is tops for married women.

Different age groups also make different choices. Among Echo Boomers (those aged 18-31) Hugh Laurie is number one, and for Generation Xers (those aged 32-43) it’s a tie between Hugh Laurie and Ellen DeGeneres. Jay Leno is tops among both Baby Boomers (those aged 44-62) and Matures (those aged 63 and older).

Forget candidates, there are also partisan and ideological differences for favorite television star. Republicans and Independents say Jay Leno is their favorite while Democrats prefer Ellen DeGeneres. Liberals go for the dry political humor of Jon Stewart and Moderates say Jay Leno is their favorite. Conservatives stray from the talk show genre; their favorite is Hugh Laurie.

Just the Ten of Us Broken Down

In this year’s top ten, there is one predominant group of television stars – talk show hosts. Six of the ten are talk show hosts, two daytime and four nighttime hosts. There are also two sitcom stars and two drama stars.
