    [​IMG] so, who else watches this series? I just bought and saw the whole first season. Great stuff. I love the sarcastic and cynical script and the character interaction. Despite being such a bastard, he's really a likeable guy :D Just saw the season-ender and now I'm feeling kinda bummed though... dammit, shouldn'tve started watching a series :bang:

    Highly recommend it though ;)

    He's a crap doctor, how many times has he mis-diagnosed and treated it anyway?
    Even I managed to spot some of the diseases before the supposed doctors did. (Well the Pork/Worms one anyway)
    And the plot lines are sooo realistic... having both Anthrax and Leprosy at the same time. Classic.

    It's not about how good (or horrible) a doctor he is, it's about the inter-personal relationships. Well, at least for me it is; if I was watching for the diagnoses, I'd have turned it off a long time ago. The disease is really just a sub-plot IMHO.

    Hugh Laurie will always be a legend because of Blackadder.

    I watch 'House' for a few reasons:
    • He's a total sarcastic a$$ to his patients *and* co-workers. :thumb:
    • The show actually makes me laugh. :thumb: :thumb:
    • Allison (his female co-worker) is super hot! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
    Oh, and there's a new episode on tomorrow night! :rolling:

    One word: LOVE.

    I first saw a few episodes last easter, and have since then ben following it *coughcough* and what can I say? Much. love.

    House is a sarcastic bastard, first class. Wilson is the best foil for him, ever. Chase is adorable, and Foreman rocks my socks. Cuddy is kewlsome, too - the atitude! Cameron, on the other hand, I do not like....

    so, yeah. LOVE this show.

    I started watching this show because of Hugh Laurie who is simply superb in this as well as other things (particularly telling Rachel it was obvious they were on a break). I've stayed with it because of the interplay between the characters, the only one I can't stand is Chase. But then I've never liked people who are unsure whether they're good enough to do the job so they play politics to keep their job (ie suck-ups).

    As for Jennifer Morrison (Cameron) I'm with kitrax et al she has a wholesomeness about her that I like ;)

    House is an amazing show! In fact, I just finished watching the newest episode, and it was amaaazing! Hugh Laurie's character is amazingly well written (and he is a great actor), as well as his friend Wilson.

    The only downside to the show is Sela Ward and her character. She makes me want to throw up.

    Cameron's personality does become a little annoying after a while, but she is still great.

    Is it already the 2nd season over there?? Because in the 1st, Sela Ward only came out in the last 2 episodes right? What a bummer of a season-ender imo :o
