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 MDI'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.… Expand
