Show Summary

House (aka House MD), from executive producers Paul Attanasio, Katie Jacobs, David Shore, and Bryan Singer is a new take on mystery, where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients. Dr. Gregory House (HughMore Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives.

    wonderful show hide show

    I love this show, how the whole plot is written, but there is one thing that really bothers me and that is the out come of House and Cuddy relationship. I know not all relationships have a happy ending but I think that house deserve a break specially after all the things that have had happen to him. I really don't like the idea of the guy that started as an PI hired by House now is the cause of his sadness. Can the writers come up with something better?, Just to give it a little twist. I really love this show.

    Slightly Down hide show

    This show is gold. I've been watching since about season 3 or 4, but I really like it. My sister got me into it. I like House and I like the way he acts. He sometimes comes off as a big jerk but it is funny. I like a lot of the storylines, as well as the acting, which really makes the show. However, I think this current season is the worst so far. Others may disagree, and of course, that is perfectly alright, but I haven't been getting into this season much. Hopefully the quality increases.

    But, still a fantastic show overall, hopefully more seasons to come!

    A great medical investigation hide show

    House
    House (also reffered as Dr. House, or House M.D) is a medical investigation drama/comedy about Dr. Gregory House, a jerk doctor and his team while they try to save lives and solve medical problems.

    I havent seen much of this show, basically just parts of season 5 and 6 and some episodes of the previous seasons, but my impression so far is that it is an awesome show. Its funny and dramatic, and is an investigation series that varies from the rest of them, different from the cop serials that we have in tons. House, or Dr. House or House M.D, is an amazing drama/comedy medical investigation!

    Not a show you would want to miss out on! hide show

    You won't get enough of this show. Hugh Laurie's sarcastic, mean sense of humor won't make you stop laughing. What really makes this show different is the medical cases. They're interesting most of the time and you can't believe what will happen next. The rest of the cast are just as hilarious and intriguing as House. Chase's dramatic storyline and Foreman always disagreeing with House just makes it better. This show has drama, comedy, and a medical theme;what more could you ask for? This show just keeps getting better each season. Hopefully, there are a lot more seasons to come!

    House:crude,hardnosed and painfully funny.
    as for rest of cast it's nice to see strong good people fold to a psycho-genius. hide show

    Through all the antics,Sarcasm,and unorthadox medical work I think this show is the absolute best show in the world. You can't help but love that smart mouth. The way he can manipulate the others on this show and how he keeps baiting Cuddy is mind bendingly funny to me.I hope this show has many many more years of episodes to come. It would be nice for house to finally be with Cuddy or to have some kind of trist that last awhile just to cause alittle chaos. I love this show and would like to see it soar.keep it up!
