    The witty and arrogant doctor Gregory House is a medical genius who only has half a muscle in his right leg. He and his team of doctors try to cure very ill ordinary people from all over in the United States of America. hide « show »

    This show is amazing. It keep you interested until the very end and always wanting more once it is over. There need to be more shows on like this one. The mysterious medical cases maybe a reason, it's mostly the amazing cast of actors, and no i do not mean just the main characters, the guest actors also play their roles well. The fact that they can make a show based on medical mysteries and have it be such a success is awesome. I look forward to every weeks episode. It is simply genius. I just can't get enough of it.

    Genius has side effects... hide « show »

    "Everybody lies" was the first quote I remember from that show when I started watching it in 2004. Gripping in it's story lines, I have to say I am more than satisfied while watching every minute. Sometimes I felt like I wasn't getting enough story of the main characters, but in all honesty, I enjoyed more the stories of the patients, and the past of House which we can never seem to unlock (heck, he doesn't even share what he has for breakfast most days). Although I thought this show was appealing because I had seen ER, even if someone didn't like the show ER, I would still recommend it. It's not like ER at all. House is like the Sherlock Holmes of medicine, and that brings me to...

    Hugh Laurie's accent. Honestly, I don't know what people are talking about that they can hear the English accent and he does a horrible American one. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea that he was English until about halfway through the first season, the show exploded and everyone was watching it. I saw an interview with Hugh Laurie, and I was really taken aback; I had no idea he was English!

    The show is not for the weak of stomach nor the weak of heart. The story lines are great about the patients, and to me, House is the ultimate 'anti-Hero' in a medical television series.

    Season One - 9.2 / 10
    Season Two - 9.5 / 10 Season Three - 9.3 / 10
    Season Four - 9.0 / 10
    Season Five - 8.7 / 10

    One of the top shows in recent years. hide « show »

    I started watching this show this past year when it started rerunning on USA. Prior to that I just heard my family raving about it. However, since starting to watch it just over a year ago; I've seen almost all episodes. It's a solid cast and has some predictibility to it; but it's very entertaining. The outlook on life that Dr. House has, to some extent, should be adopted by all of us. Many times we read too deeply into things and don't always just take them for what they are. We should also not always take what people say as what they mean either... as House would say, "everyone lies".

    Why do i like this show so much? Only one reason i guess... cause it's FRIGGIN AWESOME!!! hide « show »

    From an outisde perspective House maybe one of the most predictable shows ever, but from someone who actually watched more than 13 episodes you would know why it's a hit. Though the mysterious medical cases maybe a reason, it's mostly the amazing cast of actors, and no i do not mean just the main characters, i'm also talking about guest stars too. This show just knows what actors are great for that part. It's not only the cast but also the spectacular writing. Writing doesn't get better then this. It applies drama, comedy, philosophy, mystery, and more in a perfect balance for a show like this. What makes this show great is how important the guest stars are. They aren't there just for character development or plot. Each guest star in each episode of House has a significant role in the episode. Each patient has this dark secret or does something so unexpected that you're simply taken by surprise. The patients' chracters are developed so efficently in one episode, you just have to praise the writing. The main characters are also really interesting. Each with a unique personality and each having their own problems which in turn also takes you by surprise. The writers again displaying their genius, take their time to work on the character developments for the main cast knowing full well that they have lot's of time to work on that and slowly progressing their changes within each episode. Though each and everyone in House is a great character, there is no doubt that the most interesting character on House is non-other than Hugh Laurie as House. House may just well be one of the most interesting t.v characters of all time if not the most. He is an athiest, psychotic, brilliant, doctor who toys with his patients as-well as his colleagues. He is a total ass who you just find yourself rooting for most of the time. He is like a anti-hero. He saves people's lives, but for all the wrong reasons. He only cares for the thrill of solving the case than helping the patient but still does his best to save their lives while also trying to spread his philosophy. His motives differ with each episode and you never fully understand him. Each episode depicts him trying to solve a puzzling case and each episode shows him being in a inner struggle with his emotional unstability, constant pain in his leg, and his habit of messing up every relationship he's ever been in (friend or more). His only friend being his colleague Wilson and his only relieve for his pain being a drug he constantly takes (vicodin) House has very little be happy of, which is why everyone deems him "miserable". Hugh Laurie does an amazing job portraying his character and House is truly the biggest reason why this show is such a big hit. House is my favorite show and truly a must watch for anyone.

    Dr. House can not only give brashness he can take it. He also encourages it so that he can think better about what is and isn't a good idea. He doesn't have time for feelings from other people and even himself. His job is important. It's the case that matters more than the patient and sometimes, for him, the patient gets in the way. House is a fantastic show and proves that crass can be good for something...to a point, that is. I dislike that they moved house to Mondays. I enjoyed it on Tuesdays. It clashes with my other shows on Monday like Heroes and the Big Bang Theory. But I've caught several episodes this season and they have done a great job. I really love this show.
