    I just can't get enough...! hide show

    It is amazing how season after season they just keep getting better and better .. that is what makes shows like this stand from others. It is not easy after 6 seasons to keep the public stuck to their televisions and House do it ... easy as pie :) At the begging of a new season you always have the same thoughts: is it going to be a lot different? new characters perhaps? new focus on the history? But most important of all, in a show you already know and are so fond of .. you think: Is this the season that will be THE crappy one? Well, they did it again (so far i mean!), i think this new season is amazing .. 'House material' amazing.

    A show just about a mean doctor? I don't think so. hide show

    People who say something like this clearly haven't watched very many episodes. House is really a show about a genius diagnostician, the doctors who work with him, and their relationships. One of the best qualities of House is that it's not gonna give you a view of the masterpiece in any one episode. To truly understand the beauty of the season premiere of Season 6 "Broken" you would have to have seen quite a bit of the show so far. House as a character has developed so much and so beautifully. Not to mention the intriguing solving of these medical mysteries. House is absolutely amazing.

    Everybody Lies...that's his basic idea from where he starts doing,everything. hide show

    You first watch this show thinking it's a show with a crippled guy one of the best doctors, cures everybody, gets laid with the chief and lives his wonderful medicine life. But no this is not like other shows. It's not comparable, it's unique and will always be, not to mention original. House M.D. is the only show that respects the actual medicine terminology, it's practice, the words themselves are amazing. House really IS one of the best doctors that is crippled, only he is miserable, he's a drug addict (painkillers), he's ironic, brilliant smart, mean but straight to the point, always and i mean always surprises everyone, has good taste in music, finds the weirdest of cures and list goes on. House is one the best shows at the moment, and it definitely won't go unnoticed.

    House M.D. - A show about being an ass and getting away with it ! hide show

    I rarely write reviews, but House deserves my praise, as it is the greatest TV show in a really long time. I havent been this addicted to a TV show in a very long time.

    I wont do an actual review because people here should know what House M.D. is if they got this far :) but i will tell you what i like, what i would wish for in the show and what i dont like *cough*

    My favorite aspects of House M.D. is the way we watch a man who see's the world as it is, which amazes people. Its something entirely new to see a show that shows a depressed man which only see's the world as a meaningless game which ends with nothing. The thought is depressing, yet i cant stop watching the show. Its a little ironic :).

    What i miss from the first seasons of house is all the clinic hours and the focus on Gregory House, which had me laughing more intensely than the new seasons. This doesnt mean i dont like the new approach the show has taken, I'm not entirely sure why they changed the formula, but they probably had good reasons.

    What im not that happy about in House is its depressing take on humanity. Its entertaining and interesting at first, but you can easily get a little depressed from having ignorance smashed to bits. It doesnt destroy the show, in fact i think its an somewhat important aspect. And there probably isnt a better alternative. I still love the show :)

    9.5/10 - Superb, nothing to complain about (yet :))

    I love "House" hide show

    "House" - the best medial show so far. When I first tuned in, it was to see the two favorite actors "Kumar" and "Harold". Too bad, John Cho was in only one episode as a patient. I wish he would have had a longer term role in "House". Kal Penn - obviously in a smart doc. I miss the funny side of him in this sitcom. But, Dr House is so intriguing and I am into "House". I was questioning in my mind why "House", and relates to the question "Any doc in the house?" I related Dr House to Dr Cox as well (Scrubs is always something I want to go back). Dr House's linguistic side does remind me of Alan in "Boston Legal" of courthouse, legal setting. It is also good again to see more feminine side of "celebutane" Lisa Edelstein. When seeing her in "Ally McBeal" I kept wondering if she was really transexual. I never like General Hospital. ER or GA never made good entertainment for me. Oh, Nurse Jackie is worth watching too, but she is so tough that she seems bi- to me.
