House

It was lupus.

it's never twins, dr watson

>>79040141
Yes.
The characters were watered down for cheap drama later on, but it stayed very fun and interesting until the very end.

>>79040141
Yup.

it was objectively good

>people complaining that a detective show is occasionally formulaic

>>79040141
It was good but edgy sometimes

>>79041537
to be fair, House was the edgy guy. The show made a point of showing that he was wrong as often as he was right.

>>79040141
It seems very dated and corny now but it was a great comfy show when it was on

House's banter was top tier

>>79041625
At least House had a personality. Everybody else was fucking boring and bland especially Cuddy and Cameron

>>79040141
Literally R*ddit The Show

>House: Foreman, I only hired you because you're a fucking nigger who steals cars

It was certainly a different time

>>79041771
was it written by Sam Raimi?

I like it but why do they have to end every episode with a sad folk song and a montage of characters looking sad

>>79041771
Why did he hired the kike? Money laundry schemes? Because he sure did not get cosmetic surgery from him

>>79041771
you say it like it's a joke but it wasn't. i specifically remember a bit when he said he hired him cos he's good at thievery because he did it when he was younger, and one of the things they always need to do is break into patients houses.

Nigga the first three season were excellent and had many standout episodes but 70% of them is super formulaic
Later seasons less so but they were also fucking full of less fun drama
This coming from someone who loves the show

>>79041744
Cameron wasn't bland but infuriously self righteous

>>79042449
she either looked 10/10 or 3/10...there was never any inbetween, was really weird.

>>79042360
Do doctors actually break into patients' houses in real life

how do they not get caught

>>79040141
Yes. Season 4 was the best season and Houses Head was the best episode.

Yes but every time I start watching through the series again I feel compelled to stop watching around the beginning of season 5

>>79042688
Cuddy said the hospital had a separate insurance fund for legal expanses incurred by house's team

>>79040141
It was ahead of its time and controlled by shitty producers once the pedo quit.

Any and all of the seasons could have easily been condensed down to 10 episodes. I feel like someone should compile a list of all the "Patient + Wilhouse Antics" episodes so they can be erased.

>>79041744
That's only cause lisa edelstein can't act. Also, Chase had a character; he was House's succesor

>>79041953
Taub was literally a personal Auschwitz prisoner for House to just fuck with constantly.

I loved it. I imagine that some will pick fault with the medical side, and I found some of the character arcs to be tedious. In fact, a lot of the 'drama' in the show between the medical staff was largely the weakest part, particularly for House, because it felt inconsistent about his personality - is he an insular, arrogant sociopath; is he a troubled, lonely drug addict redeemed by his intellect; is he an immature prankster with a dumb crush?

I suppose I lost respect for the character in certain phases - I'd rather he were more aloof, more focussed, more brilliant ... but also tortured, cynical and bitter underneath. It seems as though the writers lost their way in trying to manufacture romance with Cuddy as some sort of 'will they/won't they' cliffhanger.

Ultimately, the concept was promising; House makes a wonderful character ... but I don't always feel that the potential of the character is realised because the writers lacked the ambition to extend beyond borderline edgy. House HAD to be normalised with a romantic relationship, and this just scattered his writing (Sherlock has the exact same problem in being unable to embrace its protagonist fully).

Also, I think that cases should have been split across multiple episodes - drama, suspense and intensity was usually manufactured by having an organ system fail every few minutes rather than by anything deeper or more exceptional. Likewise, all the romance subplots were another attempt at the same thing.

All that aside, I still found it immensely enjoyable, and it's one of my favourite tv shows.

Im going through this on netflix, just finished season 4, and holy shit I was not expecting that

That episode with the girl who can't feel pain and it turns out she has like a mile long tape worm in her body fucking ruined me. That was the most disgusting, horrific thing I've seen on TV.

who knows the illusions of the jew

It was good when the medicine-of-the-week was cleverly intertwined with the drama, either literally, or as a metaphor.

But sometime 'round The Bitter Police Detective Arc, it focused heavily on the drama-llama and the medicine was less of a focus, and became less medically accurate.

It was then I stopped watching, not out of spite, I just never made the time to watch it.

Get out of here before someone spoils the S5 finale.

Where's the gif of that kid grabbing Cameron's ass?

Three Stories

Best episode or best episode? Probably the only episode I rewatch occasionally.
