<p>Watching the Wire has inspired me to apply to Hopkins. Baltimore is so awesome. Has this happened to anyone else!</p>
<p>I suspect that ABC's six part mini-series this summer, called 'Hopkins"--will inspire many new applicants. Catch it if you haven't seen it (I think it is available online at ABC.com)</p>
<p>I just checked, and Hopkins is available online at abc.com. Look under "movies and specials."</p>
<p>HOPKINS (the mini series) was AWESOME. Mannnnnn almost as good as House. What's up with so many good shows having Hopkins in the plot/setting. I guess it's a sign.</p>
<p>^You know I agree 100%, Hopkins [the college] doesn't get the amount of attention it really deserves! But that's all about to change...soon...lol</p>
<p>Actually there have been tons of references to Johns Hopkins University in popular culture. Just check our Wikipedia page:</p>
<p>Johns</a> Hopkins University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>Some of my favorites:
[QUOTE]
*The HBO film Something the Lord Made (2004), based on the true story of Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas (an unusual team for the time), depicts their work as pioneers of cardiac surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. </p>
<p>*In the Will Ferrell comedy Step Brothers (2008), Ferrell's character learns that his new stepfather attended Johns Hopkins. Perhaps in an attempt to disparage the man, Ferrell then claims to know "Johnny Hopkins" personally, stating: "I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins."</p>
<p>*In the television series The Simpsons, Dr. Julius Hibbert is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. </p>
<p>*In the television series House, the character Dr. Eric Foreman is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Gregory House attended Johns Hopkins for undergraduate and medical school, but was thrown out of the medical school for cheating.</p>
<p>*Dr. Hanibal Lecter from the Lecter Trilogy by Thomas Harris attends the Johns Hopkins University after leaving Europe for America. </p>
<p>*The Nicole Kidman film The Invasion (film) (2007) was partly filmed in a laboratory in Mudd Hall on the Homewood campus.

<p>I would say you're out of the norm if you don't watch House at Hopkins.</p>
