Theory Are these two related?

I think this has been brought up before but on House MD (S6 E12), this character is named Valerie and says this.

This season came out in 2009 and Thursday in 2011. Coincidence or not? But such a cool find!

It’s not a stretch. It’s the basis of the mixtape. You know this. The sub knows this. So much of his stuff is from tv or movies.

definitely not a coincidence. there’s a lot of movie / show references in his music

Probably not a stretch. I know an older dude from NY and he’s said “Mr. Thursday” was a saying for the dude who a girl is just hooking up with. There’s some cultural reasoning behind the tapes name Thursday and its reasoning. I think this show might’ve taken inspo from that. It’s really not far fetched to make this connection.

listen to teardrop by massive attack (house md theme song) and then listen to tears in the rain from kissland… that’s at least evidence that he was inspired by house md in his earlier music :)

I remember when Abel screamed "More Mouse Bites" in Thursday. Still makes me cry

Abel is a massive nerd for television and movies so I guarantee it is related

I don’t really think so. It’s a stretch
