"So, what are we going to watch tonight?"
"House."
"Is that the one with Doctor Whatsisname?"
"No, it's called Doctor Who."
"Doctor Who's on first?"
"No, House."
"With Doctor Whatsisname?"
"Doctor House."
"But it's my house."
"And I want to watch the show with the Doctor."
"Doctor Who?"
"No, House."
"It's my house, Phil."
"Doctor Phil is not on."
"Then what's on first?"
"House."
"With Doctor Whatsisname?"
"Doctor House, yes."
"Are you trying to say ER?"
"ER starts at nine."
"Then what in God's name are we watching?"
"House."
"With Doctor Whatsisname?"
"No, that's Doctor Who."
"I like his sonic screwdriver."
"This isn't Home Improvement."
"No, it's House, see?"
I have no idea what inspired the above.

One thought led to another and suddenly I find myself trying to write my own version. I think this Shakespearean version is much more successful, but I made a valiant effort:

I loved it. That was amazing. It made me make a face similar to this, =D. Except less texty.
Probably would have worked better though if I'd had a copy of the "Who's on First" script at hand to work with though. Oh well. Next time I try I'll keep this in mind.
And thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
