House MD

House has always gotten jerked around by Fox, but they always put it back.

Meh. House is a tad too provincial lately. House is still the most engaging character, but only marginally, and that's due to Hugh. Even Wilson is a bore now.

And the series is still plagued with the same problem it's had since its inception: The underlings aren't interesting. I don't care about their squabbles or their personal lives. When it's at its worst, the patient is pushed almost to the background.

The underlings, ugh. I especially hate Taub and his fucking marital problems that I'm supposed to care about for some reason.

Um. New episode. Yikes.

Judy Garland musical numbers. This show has officially lost its shit.

..well, not really. They always had dream sequences but usually they were trips into House's drug-addled brain. I draw the line at Leave It To Beaver parodies.

Coming back to this show every once in while I dislike it more each time. Amber Tamblyn deserves better than this. House, more than any other show, has furthered the idea that all doctors are drab, colorless shells with no personalities, because that's what this series is.

It's not episodic enough to float as a medical drama (the patients are a rote exercise; even House himself shows indifference toward finding a cure), but there's not enough substance to make it a character piece. Heck, with Thirteen's departure it's not even soapy enough to qualify as a guilty pleasure.

There is no direction to this series. Just whiny passive-aggressive doctors sniping at each other in rooms all day.

That episode was awesome, followed by much sadness. I hope House gets off the Vicodin. Happy House is better House.

Wait... Vicodin? Sounds like I missed a pretty relevant episode...

No, this was the episode that he got back on Vicodin because of Cuddy's cancer scare. The only way he could be with her during that was by taking it.

The musical number was awesome. The ending was sad.

I knew it was only a matter of time. Status Quo Is God, after all.

Actually, House is pretty good at shuffling around the Status Quo, but only during the season finales.

For all it's flaws the show somehow managed to develop a axe-cane followed up by a pump-action-shot-gun-cane, I might have to forgive it.

I don't see why they ahd to go back though. The relationship brought it's own challenges, and House was still pretty damn snarky.

Because House is not allowed to be happy, ever?

Maybe the show will end with House amputating his damn leg, already.

But then he'll angst about phantom pain or something. The writers seem determined to keep him as miserable as possible, with brief Hope Spots so he won't completely lose it.

I have to say the Zombie dream was awesome! (Zombie Foreman was great)

House has subscribed to the philosophy of WINNING.

What a dull ep. I actually flipped over to How I met Your Mother.

You see, House? This is WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING ME TO

This is still running?

I missed alot of the episodes...I love USA for reruns

Bluh....uhh?....wha--??

...so what happened? I didn't catch it.

House Drove his car into Cuddy's dining room, then walked out like he would normally, and then some how ended up walking down a tropical beach.

I wonder how he got there, why he went there, and if he's hallucinating again.

I assume he realized how much trouble was in and didn't want to go to jail, so he limped to Mexico.

The bizarre ending of the 7th season makes me wonder how in the nine hells will the 8th, which has already been signed on to be made, AFAIK, begin. There are heaps of unresolved plotlines about House's team, but House is now a PNG in Princeton-Plainsboro. Just... where do they go from here?
