"Air Date: Monday 1/23 \r\nUs Rating: ** \r\nThis once-venerable hit is suffering from a serious case of been-there-itis. Pill-popping doc Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) grouches and manipulates again as he tends to a young man with Alzheimer&amp;apos;s symptoms. The tale itself is absorbing, and guest star Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men) gives a heartfelt performance as the guy&amp;apos;s torn wife. \r\nHouse&amp;apos;s trademark mix of sarcastic barbs and medical jargon has grown tiresome, however, and newer cast additions, such as Charlyne Yi, are a bit bland. As for the medic&amp;apos;s selfish behavior, viewers will nod when a coworker vents, &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s always self-destructive.&amp;quot; No wonder Laurie looks ready to take his cane and hobble out the door. (Fox, 8 p.m.)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
