        Post-production takes time, you know.

          Shooting for a movie can be scheduled around other committments where a TV series requires a much larger/longer commitment. I don't know if this is the case here but possibly. Or like the others have said, post production takes time. "The Call" shows as being produced in 2007 not 2010.

            Shooting the tv series is far more demanding he wouldn't have time to do both and as someone pointed out mst of the movies were already shot.

              But why kill him off? Are the producers Republicans? Why couldn't House have fired him like everyone else?

                It was a metaphor for him killing his own career by vamping for Nobama.

                  More like the creators/writers/studio were angry.
                  The only time they write someone out permanently like that is if someone pissed them off. I guess maybe his contract wasn't up but he wanted out.
                  /tinfoil hat
                  Fox runs House, fox is the most republican corporation in America
                  /tinfoil hat
                  Denise Crosby begged Gene Roddenberry to get her out of her Star Trek:TNG contract. Writers killed her off in an incredibly dumb way. Later, when her film career bombed, she got back onto TNG, in an incredibly dumb way. (first return was cool, but the second was fail).
                  Terry Farrell was killed off in DS9. She's renowned for leading numerous strikes to get fair pay from Paramount, wanted to step out for a break and got permanently dropped.
                  Could all be a load of balls though.

                    The Fox Republican argument makes no sense - most Fox shows are actually very liberal (think Simpsons, Family Guy/American Dad, Arrested Development etc.).
                    I just don't understand why they couldn't have just had Penn's character go on vacation or something. The death seemed like, well, overkill.

                      Fox runs those shows because of the ratings they bring in, thats it. Why do you think both shows take the piss out of fox so much, they constantly try to push the boundaries of what the fox studio representatives will tolerate.

                        I'm not 100% certain, but I think I read somewhere that he asked for his character to be killed off.

                          Firing everyone makes it boring.
                          You have to have something different so the show remains interesting.
                          Killing someone is one of those ways

                              He asked for his character to be taken off House to work at the White House, but he quit and is back into acting. I hope he somehow goes back to House

                                  Agree. Think about what made Fox Married with Children, X-Files, Malcolm in the Middle hardly conservative. But I do think the Simpsons give it to everyone without playing favorites (I remember an episode where Marge said advice from Bill Clinton was pretty lousy, and his character said he was a pretty lousy President).

                                    Well he is trying to help Der Kommissar Sheik Obama to force imaginary prosperity on the Union of Socialist States of America Working on this AND working on House would be double dipping I'm sure.

                                        Actually I have the definition of Marx, Mao and their kindred souls. By their own writings. I'm truly sorry that I have disillusioned you and laugh at your Messiah as he shows his true radical Marxist colors every day. Um, deal with it? Cope some how? Sorry, I don't have any other advice for you
