Must be Canada's day on US television. On the most recent episode of 
the law drama "The Good Wife", one character, who I believe is 
supposed to be Canadian, tries to tempt  his girlfriend by telling 
her that they could move to Montreal and have free health care. How 
could one resist!

As for "House",  Dr. Wilson graduated from McGill University (as I 
did), and was seen at least once wearing a McGill sweatshirt. 

"James McGill, James McGill
He's our father
Oh yes rather.."

(and I can't remember the rest)

James McGill was the fur trader who founded the university.
