HOUSE
''Airborne'' April 10 (Fox)
Maybe House got a bit repetitious this year (hey, remember the episode when Hugh Laurie made the lifesaving diagnosis at the last minute?), but it still dispensed some of the most subversive humor on the air. And it got even better when the show broke out of form, with the cranky doc making a House call on a flight from Singapore, prepping for surgery with just three plastic spoons and alcohol wipes. House came up with a lifesaving diagnosis at the last minute...and yet it all felt brand-new. — Benjamin Svetkey
