No New House MD, New Episode Not to Air Until January 11th, 2010

Final Update from season 6: House MD season six, The Low Down has finally aired! Welcome back House! The new episode's summary can be read here.

New Update as of January 5th, 2010: House's official face book has, keeping in line with Fox's entire inability to stick to a schedule changed the air date BACK to January 11th 2009 at it's usual 8/7 central air time.

Next week's FOX schedule reflects this change. Here is the preview FOX's website gives for the New House MD season six Episode "The Low Down" to air January 11th, 2009.

"When drug dealer Mickey (guest star Embry) mysteriously collapses while negotiating a sale, his partner-in-crime, Eddie (guest star Chinlund), accompanies him to Princeton Plainsboro for treatment. But with a major deal pending, Mickey is not forthcoming with the necessary personal information the team needs to treat him. As Mickey's condition worsens, the team resorts to old-fashioned detective work to solve the case. Meanwhile, House and Wilson compete for the affection of a new neighbor, and Chase, Thirteen and Taub attempt to play a practical joke on Foreman in the all-new "The Down Low" episode of HOUSE. "

Update: The previous stated Jan. 11th air date has been corrected by House's official facebook which states the new episode will air Jan. 25th, 2010.

Once again without warning FOX has altered their programming and there will be no House MD episode on December 7^th, 2009. FOX is playing, "Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special" instead. According to FOX's official online guide though we can expect an episode of House MD next week, it won't be a new episode from season six.

FOX has an episode from season five entitled, "Joy to The World" planned for next Monday, December 14^th. This episode first aired December 9^th, 2008 and features an obese teenage girl who collapses during a Christmas play at school. House also plays games with his old team in this episode sending him self presents while participating in a secret Santa.

The new season six episode of House will be on hiatus until January 11^th, 2010 with the airing of House MD season six, episode ten "The Low Down". We can also expect a special Cuddy episode akin to House MD season six, episode nine "Wilson" but focusing on Cuddy aired on February 8^th. This will be episode 14 of season six so we can expect three quality House MD season six episodes between "The Low Down" and Cuddy's episode. What these three episodes are title or about is a mystery.

I was unable to find any spoilers for the upcoming House MD season six, episode ten, "The Low Down" so House MD fans will just have to entertain themselves with the holidays and wait patiently for House MD to return. This page will be updated when and if information about the shows details are released.

This break in new House MD episodes is at least not as surprising as the unannounced push-back of House MD season six, "Known Unknowns" which was repeatedly bumped for baseball. House MD has consistently taken a winter holiday season break in December returning fresh for the New Year in January.

USA and FOX will continue to air re-runs for House MD fans during the House MD December five week break from November 30^th, 2009's airing of "Wilson" to the January 11^th, 2010 airing of the bran-new season six episode, "The Low Down".

Thanks for reading my weekly House MD season six summaries and recaps and I hope to see you again in January. Happy Holidays!
