TV Tonight: “House MD” Virus Picked up in Bermuda
A teenage girl retrieves an unwanted artifact from a Bermuda shipwreck on tonight’s [Nov 15] episode of “House, MD” — a possible 200-year-old case of deadly smallpox.
According to an on-line advance review of the top-rated Fox medical drama, the show opens with a four minute mini-movie set off Bermuda’s coast complete with a CGI ship and Dutch slave traders.
The pre-credit sequence then segues onto a modern ship off the island and a vacationing American girl who discovers more than she bargains for while scuba diving.
Finding a sealed barnacle-covered, sealed bottle in the slave boat shipwreck in Bermuda’s waters, she cuts her hand when the bottle slips from her grip. After she develops mysterious symptoms on her return to the US and is hospitalised, Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) — an infectious diseases specialist — thinks she has contracted the long-eradicated virus smallpox.
House and his team must contend with both the clock and interference from the US Centres for Disease Control as they try to determine exactly which disease is the culprit.
Tonights episode shows at 9pm.

At least she didn’t get shot while she was here!!!

Cool!
Its a tv drama, its not real life. I cant wait to see this one. I usually just wait till it comes out on dvd but i think i will watch this one tonight. Does anybody know what channel this comes on for Cablevision?
It will be on Fox, channel 10 I believe…
it wasnt Bermuda on the show… looked like the florida keys
It wasn’t filmed on location in Bermuda but the opening sequence was set here — Dr. House mentions Bermuda by name when the girl is admitted to the hospital!!! Weren’t you listening? Probably was shot in Florida or maybe the Baja Peninsula. Film and TV companies do not tend to shoot in Bermuda because the island is so expensive. You think a TV show working on a tight budget is going to bring a cast and crew of maybe 100 people to Bermuda? You think even Hollywood is going to come here with this island’s costs to shoot footage for a four minute opening sequence to a TV show? Particularly when they have to pay import duty on cameras, costumes, etc.? Last feature film to be even partially filmed here was Neil Simon’s “Chapter Two” in the late 1970s — they were giving us millions of dollars in free publicity and we screwed the production crew for every penny we could get out of them. My Daddy was the producer’s taxi driver! He loved Bermuda and Bermudians! But he said given the way they were treated by the Government, he would make sure not another foot of film was ever shot here. He would blackball us in Hollywood. And I’m sure he did. The producer was named Ray Stark and he was a powerful figure in the movie industry. We screwed up. Bad. We should be encouraging film people to come here for the long-term exposure they can give us. Not taking advantage of them for a quick buck!
