Extremely formulaic fantasy medical detective show
As a "medical" show you have here a totally fantastic crew and set: thedoctors are all good looking (chesty women and young men with good hair(and a nicely maintained Aussie accent)), relatively young people withall their hair on, and a hospital that seems like it was just recentlyvisited by an interior decorator (lots of orange walls, glass, highceilings), and is located somewhere that's always sunny (enormousamounts of natural light). There are no nurses, etc--instead our gooddoctors do everything themselves, including spending valuable timetrying to take blood or finding a lost patient. Right. As others havepointed out the episodes are severely formulaic. There are two facetsto each story: 1. Fixing mystery illness 2. Bickering with each other/sexual tension/ House's addiction, lack of sentimentality, or theironic contrast between his skill as a doctor and his lack of empathy.The plots all go this way: 1. Scene with patient becoming ill. 2.Opening theme 3. House and etc arguing rapidly about patient'sconditions; House snaps witty remarks but they settle somewhat on ahypothesis. 4. Hypothetical diagnosis wrong, patient is worsening. 5.Another diagnosis with some more doctor/doctor bickering, and somerevelation on part of House's character (he still has a heart, he haslots of pain, etc). 6. Diagnosis brings patient near to death,something must be done, but what?! 7. House gets some clue, and sendsjunior doctor to patient's home or interrogates family member. Familymember cries and/or gets angry /something radical found at home. Riskydiagnosis discovered by confident House, but could be win all/lose all8. Patient is cured. End with showing some part of House's personality(addiction, lack of sentiment, inner anguish, etc).The initial exposure to Dr. House's personality as a Sherlock Holmseytype of vicodin-addicted character is amusing. While Holmes was usuallycold, House is sardonic, unsocial and bitter, and uses sarcastichumour. He also uses dark humour to deflect his interior character,which is supposed have some pain and some loneliness to give hischaracter interest. However, after the umpteenth acrimonious but wittyreply, and the umpteenth little scene showing that he isn't completelyunpleasant just gets eyerollingly boring.This is how the majority of episodes play out. Once in a while it'sgood if you've forgotten how the last episode played out, but I foundthat watching this show on a regular basis just feels like a huge wasteof time.

Are we alone,.....?
my wife and I, in thinking that House is one of the most brilliantlyoriginal, sharply written, and well-performed (at least as far as HughLaurie concerned) dramas, medical or otherwise in the last two decades?ER? My 5 year old daughter has just finished writing the next season -Gallant re-appears in the shower, only it's Kerry Weaver's shower andshe suddenly realises she's not gay after all and Gallant and Neelahave to get a posthumous divorce!! Kidding, slightly, of course aboutER - we are fans of that too, but it's good to know that America cancome up with a medical drama that is actually concerned with themedical facts, and where sub-plots about who is doing whom aresecondary to the main story, rather than the other way around.Any takers?

I must be missing something
I started watching "House" recently on USA Network, just to see whatall the hub-bub was about, because so many people were saying what agreat show it is and how much they love Hugh Laurie and yada yada yada.I must be missing something all these other people are seeing because Ican't stand the show and I can't stand Hugh Laurie.As for the show, it has an even more formulaic outline than "Law &Order". We see the patient falling victim to some strange malady in thefirst three minutes, the team spends fifteen minutes trying to figureout how to treat whatever it is that's affecting the person, by thehalf-way point you can be sure you'll see at least one heart failure,the person comes this close to dying by the 45-minute mark, and thenvoila! House has an epiphany and snatches the person from the grips ofthe Angel of Death and the patient is all fine and dandy, even thoughhe was on dialysis yesterday and his liver stopped working two daysago.In between all the doses of Interferon and all the discussions of which"-osis" or "-itis" the patient might have, we're given glimpses of thepersonal side of the team: their sex lives, their friends, and the wayDr. House chooses -- or should I say refuses -- to interact with therest of humanity.The rest of the diagnostic team and other hospital employees areone-dimensional characters. Foreman walks around with a chip on hisshoulder and thinks he's better than the others, including his boss,and feels he's being held back, but it's unclear whether he thinks it'sbecause of his race or just that his skills aren't being fullyrecognized.Chase pouts a lot; not because he's unhappy necessarily but because hethinks he looks cute when he pouts. Cameron wishes she could save theworld, and more importantly, save House from himself, but is eitherunwilling or unable to act on any of her feelings.Dr. Wilson puts up with a lot of stuff from his "best friend"; eitherhe has the patience of a saint or he secretly enjoys being constantlymanipulated, humiliated and embarrassed. Chief of Staff Cuddy comes towork in attire that's more suited to a cocktail party than anadministrative job and also seems to enjoy being manipulated by theGreat Doctor House. You'd think both of these people would avoid anycontact with someone who so obviously takes pleasure in seeing themsquirm, yet they seek him out and beg for more.With regards to the patients, outside of immediate family members theynever get any visitors, nobody ever calls them, they don't get flowers,and after they get into the hospital bed they become nothing more thana prop for the rest of the cast to play off. When they go into cardiacarrest the visitors they do have stay in the room, wringing theirhands, asking stupid questions, and just generally getting in the waywhile the doctors bring out the paddles.As for Mr. Laurie, his voice has no inflection whatsoever and he putsme to sleep with his constant growly drone. Maybe if they let him usehis natural British accent he could find some tonal changes to breakthe monotony. His character's cynicism towards life and disrespecttowards everyone gets annoying and tiresome after two or three shows,and I find myself becoming distracted by his disheveled appearance andwondering how a man can maintain a three-day growth of beard everysingle day, and why a hospital wouldn't force him to at least wearclean clothes if he's in contact with critically-ill people all thetime.Maybe I'm just too old and cynical myself, but if I ever get sick,please, please don't send me to Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
"House, M.D." has got to be the most pre-empted show in FOX TV'shistory. When it is on, the short-sided arguments and sarcasm deliveredby Hugh Laurie are short on offending but large in humor. While mostshows on TV are mainly copies of other shows (the dreaded Reality show,and CSI spin-offs), and the over abundance of "marathon shows" (DogWhisperer all the time, History of Hitler, End of the World, andTsunami shows), it is a fresh pleasure to see an anti-hero at "work,"in this case, popping pills, barking out orders and the endless spewingof "I'm better than you on this so get used to it," dialogue. So, Ipraise "House, M.D." that is, when it's on.Mack Shelton

One of the best things on the box
'House' is like a breath of fresh air to television screens. It's anintelligent show complete with solid, interesting characters in a seaof bland, predictable and repetitive shows that bombard the airwaves.The show revolves around diagnostician Doctor Gregory House, a bitterand antisocial cynic whose heightened intelligence leaves him withlittle patience for most people around him. On the surface, he haslittle interest in patients and instead it is solving the puzzle oftheir ailment that draws him in but we see many subtle instances whichprove he does have a heart for both his patients and his friends.Reeling him in are his best friend Doctor James Wilson, who sees Houseas fulfilling his need to be needed, and his boss Doctor Lisa Cuddy,one of the few who can give House as good as he dishes out in terms ofinsults. Training under House as his fellows are Robert Chase, AllisonCameron and Eric Foreman, who all realise what a trial their job (orrather, their boss) can be at times.Hugh Laurie, in the title role of House, is absolutely perfect. He isable to depict House's startlingly genius IQ that is intertwined withhis childishness and sullenness, which, in turn, hide the fact he doescare for his patients and those close to him. As such, he turns whatcould have been an detestable character into one the audience can like.Robert Sean Leonard also delivers a strong performance as Wilson in amanner that shows the character's kindly yet, at times, manipulativenature. The chemistry between Laurie and Leonard is excellent, which isessential in portraying the complex friendship between House andWilson. Lisa Edelstein, as Cuddy, excels in playing the school marm tothe eight-year-old boy House can be without comprising the deeperattributes of the character. Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer and OmarEpps, as House's three fellows, also shine through in displaying theindividual traits of their characters and how each interact differentlywith House.One of the first things that drew me into the show was the sarcastichumour. Almost everything that comes out of House is humorous, even ifit does make the person he is speaking to cry! House is a trueanti-hero, inherently a good guy but is willing to do whatever it takesto solve his puzzle regardless of patients' views and colleagues'opinions. The character probably has also done more for disabilityawareness (House walks with a limp and is in chronic pain aftersuffering an infarction to his right thigh) than any PC governmentcampaign. Here we have a show that isn't afraid to depict a disabledperson acting like an arrogant oaf at times instead of being as somesort of glowing hero and example to us all, as most shows enjoy doingwhen portraying a character with disabilities.The show is more like a detective drama along the lines of 'Law andOrder' with medicine as opposed to a purely medical show like 'ER'. Assuch, there is more time dedicated to development of the characters asthey go about trying to cure their patient. Everything is portrayed ina darker adult manner and there isn't too much focus on romance (whichcan ruin a show). Story lines are meaningful and involving, with nosoftly option taken in showing the realities of life and death. Thatsaid, the medical aspects on the show are almost always realistic.'House' is a highly recommended show for those looking for somethingput together with intelligence and adult characters who act like adultsinstead of over-grown adolescent children in high school. Long may itcontinue!

Background Music
A few episodes ago, the one called "One Day, One Room." Near the endwhen he's talking to the girl at the park.. they play this slow pianotheme. I know its been played before.. maybe even a different mix ofit. But does anyone have an idea of what this song is called? Itprecedes the guitar theme of.. Damien Rice's "Grey Room." I did try tolook it up online, but I could only find the featured songs (whichusually include lyrics that are easily searched.) I hate how no onelists the instrumental background themes! If anyone has a clue to whatit is, please tell! Its a really touching theme and I'd love to have itin my collection.

This is forever swirl
My friend...you'd better check your ratings again. Not only is HOUSE ahuge hit...it maintained it's top 10 rating even after American Idol,which it followed, was over. This simply re-confirms my faith in theaudience. You give them something smart, interesting and, above allelse, original and they'll be there with you week after week! It onlytook me one watching and I was hooked. My TV watching is spotty (ifthat). I never plan any evening by what's on the tube. Now I findmyself planning my Tuesdays (now Mondays until the new season starts)around watching HOUSE. I have to confess I work in the entertainmentindustry. One of the shows on which I work is broadcast on Mondays and,you guessed it is opposite HOUSE. We are now in reruns (the bottom fellout from under us when reruns began)so I don't really feel like much ofa traitor by watching House instead of our show. An added note: Rerunsare at an all time low. Both ABC's break-out hits (no not my Net) LOSTand even DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES have dropped from top 5 to thelow50s/high60s. HOUSE? It's holding tight to its ratings. Has neverdropped out of the top 15. Not exactly what I'd call a show that "...noone watches...". Looks like, smells like and feels like a smash to me.BRING ON THE EMMY...especially for Laurie! And while we're at anotherfor Zack Braf...let's save SCRUBS!
eden052383 (27 April 2012)
very different and very creative
I watched ER as a kid and loved it up until the last few seasonsbecause most of the people worth watching had moved on to do otherthings. Scrubs is fantastic because of it's strange humor and Grey'sanatomy is just a bunch of soap opera rubbish centering around doctorswho are more concerned with who is sleeping with who than the patients.Absolutely terrible. Then there's House.Absolutely wonderful! I love the chemistry between the cast; they'reextremely believable. But the best person on there, of course, is HughLaurie who plays House. He does such a good job at playing someone whois a know-it-all, sarcastic, cynical, narcissistic a**hole, even to hispatients, you have to think is he anything like that in real life? Andin no way is this show one that keeps you reaching for tissues, which Iadmire because there's nothing worse than watching an overly sappydrama.

A Terrible title but a good show!
To tell you the truth, I had my hesitations about watching anothermedical drama but this show surprised me. Hugh Laurie deserves a lot ofcredit for taking on an American accent and playing it so well. Youforget he's British. The casting of Lisa Edelstein is a welcomeaddition. She carries her character very well. Robert Sean Leonard isplaying an Australian. Funny since the show is set in New Jersey andthat's where he is from. Omar Epps is touching in a strong role as theneurologist. My favorite episode is starring Leslie Hope in a guestappearance as a homeless woman down on her luck. It is one of the mosttouching episodes on television lately. I even teared a little. Thefact that this show is set in New Jersey is a welcome change for us.Rather than depicting us as fun loving mobsters or crooked politicians,the show provides an interesting location. I will be watching it more.I love Hugh Laurie and hope that his die-hard fans would nominate himfor a British honor. He is long overdue for it in my opinion. Thecasting, writing, and acting is superb. I watched MAD-TV's parody ofthe show starring Michael McDonald in a perfect performance as Dr.House. HE is so good that you wonder if it is actually Hugh Lauriehimself. Great show overall.

Nice review bstillion!
I just totally love this Fox presentation, to me the best the Networkhas to offer....and Hugh Laurie is superb as the genius Diagnosticianwho hates to "face patients." But to be honest, once I got hooked, Ihad a terrible premonition that the show would not last....it is justfar to literate, to sharply written, and thus would be over the head ofthe average viewer who would prefer the long-lived E.R. (which thoughchaotic and nerve wracking is still one of my own favorites). But loand behold, just read that Fox has ordered an additional fiveepisodes....so perhaps there is hope yet. But please, please give thistruly intelligent Med Sleuth show a try. And bless those that do!

Best TV series in recent years (ever?)
I'm not a big fan of hospital themed series/films, never liked thehighly acclaimed "ER", though I did enjoy "Let the Blood Run Free" butthat one is a little bit different to say the least. Missed nearly halfof the first "House M.D." season until my roommate persuaded me to giveit a try. So I did...and I became a die-hard fan instantly.So what's so good about it? Well, to tell you the truth, everything.The cases are truly interesting and I should say even sophisticated,you never know what's going to happen next and it doesn't always have ahappy ending. Some scenes are pretty gruesome, but that's fine with me.And now we come the best part of "House M.D." - doctor Gregory Househimself. I find it difficult to describe how amazing this character is.He is an insane genius, coming up with the most absurd theories thatactually work and he does everything he can to apply those theoriesinto practice and I really mean EVERYTHING even if it's (and it usuallyis) against the rules, laws, moral issues and whatnot. It's not that hecares about his patients, it's all about curing the disease, aboutsolving the puzzle, since House simply sucks as a human being. He'scynic, misanthropic son of a bitch with an ego bigger than the Moon. Hedoesn't like anyone and no-one likes him. Plus, he's a cripple, apainkiller addict, he's extremely witty, unmatched in makingironic/sarcastic jokes and remarks. Trust me, you've never seenanything like this character and that's the main reason I love this TVseries so much, you simply can't resist. It's either you love him, orhate him and in any case, he doesn't care. :)
mattkratz (20 April 2012)
not bad
I have only seen a few episodes of this show, but I like what I haveseen so far. It is sort of like "Becker," except that it is a drama andnot a sitcom. I like the way Hugh Laurie plays the title character, ashe is somewhat cynical and his bedside manner leaves a little to bedesired, but he is a good doctor and is still human. I think the showis well cast. I like the other characters on the show as well. I thinkthat with time (and a little more watching on my part) this can developinto a top-notch show, not that it isn't good (which it is). I thinkthis ranks up there with shows like "ER" and "Gideon's Crossing" asfirst-rate medical dramas.*** out of ****
rcdees123 (16 April 2012)
Good acting but where do they go from here?
I enjoy the show a lot. The main character is kind of a jerk topatients in general with good reason: They lie to doctors all the time.He plays it well overall as well as his supporting cast. I'm a huge fanof Omar Epps who also appears in this show. He has been in other reallygood movies and always does a nice job. House is a show abouthospital's, administration of hospitals, addiction to pain medication,infectious disease cures, the lies patients tell to their doctors, andthe innate ability of this doctor to see through them and cure people.Because he is such an ass to people it causes really neat conflict inthe show which is fun to watch develop.
judy-harvey (15 April 2012)
Very entertaining medical drama
I have watched "House, MD" since the first season and find it to beextremely interesting. Hugh Laurie does a fantastic job as GregoryHouse, who is the most anti-social doctor we've ever seen on TV. Mostof the doctors portrayed on medical dramas have this unbelievablebedside manner and Dr. House couldn't care less. The mystery involvedin each episode is also fascinating as Dr. House and his very talentedteam work to find the correct diagnosis. I hope this series goes on fora very long time as it has quickly become my absolute favorite TVprogram. ER, by comparison, has faded into a very predictable show withsimilar story lines each week. We've never seen the likes of Dr.Gregory House and he's great!
thestkidd (11 April 2012)
Enjoyable show got wrecked by House suicide attempt
As a Diabetic of 33 years experience I must say this was a great way toruin a usually semi informative show. If a Diabetic learns 1 thing thatgets drilled into your head it is this: If you put insulin into a veinit has a huge chance (somewhere around 99%) of killing you. This isbecause the insulin entering the heart causes the heart to go into lowblood sugar shock which causes the muscle to run out of energy. Now Iknow the facts of most of the show is fairly loosely based on realitybut 1 semi educated Diabetic could have told them that the forearm is adangerous spot to inject insulin. Use the stomach or leg instead... butwait they can't do that, House would never take down his pants...RIGHT??? This uneducated move causes me to consider not watching theshow anymore... 10% of America and Canada has Diabetes and of those 10%develop insulin dependent Diabetes as a kid. that means they have justinsulted 1% of the population and that doesn't include insulindependent Diabetics that had adult onset.. on a rough guess 10-20% ofadult onset diabetics.
qflw (10 April 2012)
It COULD be the best hospital show since ER,
but it doesn't come that close. Hugh Laurie's Dr. House is the onlyreason I can sit through this thing. The other characters are annoying,especially Cameron and except for Foreman. I wish the shows weren'tgetting into so much personal stuff; the medical mysteries are moreinteresting and they are starting to take a back seat. The charactersget too invasively personal with each other and don't maintain enoughprofessional distance. The writing is barely tolerable sometimes.Though perhaps the show's creators intended to make this a show thatirritates and exasperates without leaving much satisfaction. Theycertainly succeeded.
caa821 (03 April 2012)
Superb show
With 305 previous comments, it's likely very few (if any) will see thisone. The many much-earlier ones, some with several hundred personsalready having accessed, have already covered about all there is to sayabout this program.I watch TV about an average amount of time, and really watch fewer thanaverage presentations on network channels versus cable/satellite ones. Although this show has been around since 2004, and has won numeroushonors and awards, I had never seen it until its last two airings. Iguarantee I won't miss any further ones, and although I don't Tivo alot, I will do so for "House..." from now on.Hugh Laurie is superb in the title role, as is his character portrayed.The supporting cast is also outstanding, and the two stories I've seenwere excellent, also.I would add this comment to help, in perhaps a small way, further theprogram's popularity numbers, in the hope that - like "Seinfeld,""...Raymond," etc. - this one will be assured of syndication, so I cancatch the 3+ years' shows I've missed.

Hugh Laurie, from Bertie Wooster to Gregory House
I have been a Laurie fan ever since "Jeeves and Wooster". Hugh is anamazingly accomplished individual. An excellent pianist, a writer,and asuperb actor. His portrayal of Dr. Gregory House as a brilliant butsocially dysfunctional physician is disturbingly believable. My only quibble with the show is that the plot is invariably the samefor every episode.A patient shows up with bizarre symptoms. Everyone is baffled includingHouse. After several false diagnoses House figures out what is wrong.Treatment is given. The patient recovers and returns to a normal life. Oh there have been one or two deaths but for the most part that plotstructure describes every show.But the show survives even the recycling of the plot because the actorsare both believable and engaging and they pull it through.I never miss it.
Marty Houser (28 March 2012)
Hugh Laurie is fine, the show flirts with awfulness
Having been a fan of Hugh Laurie for a long time, it is fun to see himon American prime time TV. And as usual he submerses himself in therole, and is always entertaining and watchable.The problem is the show that's built around him. It is a mediocremishmash of current medical TV show clichés, and the premise is sotightly constructed - medical diagnosis mystery of the week - that itseems unsustainable. After watching two episodes it seemed repetitive.And after the "realistic" portrayal of medical analysis in ER/CSI, etc,the constant scenes of the medical team sitting around in a conferenceroom throwing out ideas seems somehow quaint. I would like the show tosucceed, would like to see more of Dr. House, but the show will reallyneed to grow to keep my interest.
bikerpaul68 (28 March 2012)
Unadulterated rubbish
I cannot believe that some reviewers claiming to be medical doctorshave praised this series. In just two episodes I have seen anexploratory laparotomy done for no reason at all, acute intermittentporphyria diagnosed by intramuscular injection of toxins (FOLLOWED byexamination of the urine!), junior medical staff being sent toillegally search a patient's house and doing a CAT scan themselves("wait, go back a bit - what was that?") ... all right, it's fiction,but in a medical drama we have the right to expect at least a littlecredibility.Hugh Laurie was excellent as a couple of bumbling dimwits in two seriesof Black Adder, but that seems to be the only character he can play.His acting in House is utterly unconvincing and limited to icy snarlsand snide wisecracks. Is the USA really so short of actors that theyhad to import Laurie to play this role? Of course, it could be thatevery self-respecting American actor turned it down, and who wouldblame them.
Review total: 20, showing from 1 to 20
