And I see bitty has offered a potential solution for House - can you set a VCR or DVR for the Friday night? (or possibly have a Shabbos goy do so? ;) ) Not entirely sure how you observe Shabbat.
As an alternate option, I might go all TiVo-happy-promotey on you - dual-tuner TiVo is a wonderful thing, especially for shows that have moments you might want to watch again, or pause.
As another alternate option, does your TV/VCR setup have the ability to record one channel while watching another?
And there's also megillahfic and purimgifts for that season ... ;) I could've sworn there was one (or, knowing fandom, several) for Chanukah too, but not finding it ATM. Oh well.
