House

The most electrifying new main character to hit television in years. [16 Nov 2004, p.C01]

Funny, probing and unsentimental, House may shock the systems of viewers used to sweetie M.D.s like ER's Dr. Carter. But as an honest look at techno-medicine and the prerogatives of genius, it's a tonic.

Between Laurie's more-great-than-good doctor and cases that encompass everything from bad ham to complete body meltdown, House preys on all that's wrong (and some of what's right) with modern medicine.

House stands out on the strength of its misanthropic main character.

House could well be one of those development stories where the operation is successful but the patient still dies. A well-made medical hour with an intriguing star, the show feels somewhat mismatched with Fox's lineup and instantly stale based on its resemblance to NBC's "Medical Investigation," which was clearly grown in the same Petri dish.

His team is formulaic - and that's not a good thing. Omar Epps plays neurologist Dr. Eric Foreman. He's African-American, and even though he had great medical school grades, House says he was chosen for his "street smarts." Jennifer Morrison is immunologist Dr. Allison Cameron, and, while she is beautiful and brainy, in the second episode, she acknowledges some sexual issues. Jesse Spencer, as intensive-care specialist Dr. Robert Chase, is from the WASP world of old money, but nothing he says or does in the first two episodes offers any social-class insights.

Not only will reality-show fans be disappointed, so will anybody looking for a little humanity sprinkled in with the enormous overdose of pretentious claptrap. [16 Nov 2004, p.F1]

If the measure of a Television series was how deeply it effects, grows and changes the viewer in their thinking and outlook on life, how it changes you, then David Shore's House was a masterful story contending for the greatest TV Show ever made.

I'm at season 6 of this show currently, and I have decided to stop watching. I've stuck with this show to see if I ever got to the part as to explain why it gets such high praise, but I apparantly already watched the "best" part of House MD with the first 3 seasons. And even those were just ok. House is a horrible human being. Not only that but he isn't even an amazing doctor, as we get shown every week because he's wrong 80% of the time. Yet despite this everybody around him still acts as if he's the medical messiah. To the point where they excuse and aid his illegal drug addiction and his antics. He almost killed a baby simply to prove he was right (he was wrong). I get tv shows aren't realistic. Hence why I can ignore the almost weekly occurrence where doctors break into houses to see what the cause of a disease might be.... But showing the viewers that House is not only a despicable human, but a bad doctor at that. Then how everybody praises him despite his obvious shortcomings becomes just too unbelievable. He would have been fired even if he was a great doctor, let alone one who misdiagnoses patients on a weekly basis. At times with life threatening consequences. During the run of the show the rest of the characters turn into unlikeable persons as well. I can not honestly name one of the cast who I would want to root for. Maybe Wilson, but even he has shown to be manipulative. I mean if the show was funny or there was some intriguing story, then one could forgive all the these characters. 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' has more horrible characters, but they are funny. However House is simply a hospital procedural which follows a pretty basic formula: House doesn't want to take a case - House gets intrigued by a case - the entire team misdiagnose the disease - in the last 10 minutes they miraculously find out what the actual disease is - House acts like a doofus throughout the show. That's 90% of House MD, the rest of the show is used to make all the characters unlikeable with all their personal stories.

Muy buena trama de doctores y los personajes tienen carisma, que pena que con chistes cochinos y escenas inapropiadas hayan arruinado lo que podría haber sido un gran programa con un personaje fenomenal como lo es House, ojalá para la próxima tengan decencia y usen el sentido común para saber qué cosas no mostrar.

It's TV for complete idiots and housewives. Soap opera feel, handsome elite doctor gets to talk down to everyone like Big Bang Theory, it's just a surprise there's no laugh track to the show. Younger nurse doctor and older powerful woman both at Houses feet in every scene. I literally might as well just watch porn, this is literally just a roleplay TV show. There is no plot or character development at all. It's all sexual/power/hierarchy one liners where of course, Doctor House always wins every single interaction. Important details are thrown in last minute like a 'mystery heart attack' a man has is revealed instantly that he drank printer fluid. Which makes literally no sense because if the guy was feeling suicidal and bad, he wouldn't be practicing jump shots and skipping around like a 7 year old at recess during the scene he collapses. TLDR: The entire show is for people with lower than 70 IQ's and really lonely divorced moms, and gay males who want to watch 'witty' base level one liners spewed over and over again by a handsome high social status doctor. As I said earlier, you might as well just be watching pornography, which I don't recommend.
