House

This isn't the first time the medical board has brought up House's lack of empathy. His logic is flawless many a times, which is why he needs a team to counterbalance. I sometimes wonder if there is a RL House somewhere out there with such a mind doing diagnostics cases. I would love for House to my my doctor as he's thinking outside of the box when it matters the most.

If they want someone to blame, House being the team leader is the way to go. However no one forced Chase into the patients room. It's not even Chase's fault, it's the patients fault. Great EP and the incident was a total shock. I wonder if this storyline will bring Chase & House closer.

Steroid induced psychosis was not the patients fault.

Not really. You can't blame the patient for anything he did as a result of psychosis. You especially cannot blame him for hurting his doctors who caused the psychosis that caused him to stab chase.

Chase brought a scalpel near a patient he knew could potentially go crazy and try to kill everyone. How is that not his fault?

Dude, I almost cried. Most intense episode ever.

**OWS_Tonx** · 2012-02-07 09:43

Also, trust me when I say this, you don't want to deal with a "House" type as a patient unless you are so beyond fucked that no other doc can handle you. I've dealt with a fair share of brilliant medical minds who had absolutely no bedside manners and a huge superiority complex. It's not fun.

***Blarg*** · 2012-02-07 17:54

there are brilliant cocky doctors and then there are house doctors. I think that guy started with thinking house was the former and but found out he was something beyond that

**Kaisha** · 2012-02-07 20:05

I was kinda disappointed that

Last season confirmed.

Announcement from HOUSE Executive Producers David Shore, Katie Jacobs and Hugh Laurie, as well as a statement from Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

After much deliberation, the producers of House M.D. have decided that this season of the show, the 8th, should be the last. By April this year they will have completed 177 episodes, which is about 175 more than anyone expected back in 2004.

The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years - but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved.

Since it began, House has aspired to offer a coherent and satisfying world in which everlasting human questions of ethics and emotion, logic and truth, could be examined, played out, and occasionally answered. This sounds like fancy talk, but it really isn’t. House has, in its time, intrigued audiences around the world in vast numbers, and has shown that there is a strong appetite for television drama that relies on more than prettiness or gun play.

But now that time is drawing to a close. The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party. How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.

The producers can never sufficiently express their gratitude to the hundreds of dedicated artists and technicians who have given so generously of their energy and talent to make House the show it has been - and perhaps will continue to be for some time, on one cable network or another.

The makers of House would also like to thank Fox Broadcasting and Universal Television for supporting the show with patience, imagination and large quantities of good taste. The Studio-As-Evil-Adversary is one of the many clichés that House has managed to avoid, and for that the cast and crew are deeply grateful.

Lastly, the audience: some have come and some have gone, obviously. This is to be expected in the life of any show. But over the course of the last eight years, the producers of House have felt immensely honored to be the subject of such close attention by an intelligent, discriminating, humane and thoughtful - not to mention numerous - audience. Even the show's detractors have been flattering in their way. Making the show has felt like a lively and passionate discussion about as many different subjects as could possibly be raised in 177 hours. The devotion and generosity of our viewers has been marvelous to behold.

So, finally, everyone at House will bid farewell to the audience and to each other with more than a few tears, but also with a deep feeling of gratitude for the grand adventure they have been privileged to enjoy for the last eight years. If the show lives on somewhere, with somebody, as a fond memory, then that is a precious feat, of which we will always be proud.

Everybody Lies.

STATEMENT FROM KEVIN REILLY, PRESIDENT, ENTERTAINMENT, FOX BROADCASTING COMPANY:

While it’s with much regret, and a lump in our throats, we respect the decision Hugh, David and Katie have made. A true original, on the page and amazingly brought to life by Hugh Laurie, there is only one Dr. House. For eight seasons, the entire HOUSE team has given us – and fans around the world – some of the most compelling characters and affecting stories ever seen on television. They have been creatively tenacious and collaborative throughout this incredible run, and they are amongst the most superior talents in the business. For all the above, we wholeheartedly thank them, and the fans who have supported the show.

I knew it wouldn't last forever, but this seems too soon. =( I guess it depends on how they wrap it up, hopefully the ending is satisfying. I'll miss this show though.

**Francisco** · 2012-02-08 18:58

Damn, there goes one of the three shows I consider really worth watching.

(The other two being South Park and Curb, which has new episodes like every other year.)

**Correction** · 2012-02-08 19:14

House should have ended two seasons ago but I'll take them at eight. Was just re-watching some of the season 2/3 stuff and found myself thinking 'god damn chase/foreman/cameron were stupid back then.'

And since everyone else is gonna do it, seasons in order of quality.

Season Two: Season of Stacey! And Volger is still the best 'Villain' the show has ever had, plus it had my favorite ep ever in "Daddy's Boy"
Season Three: Not because of Tritter, but because of the way House had to work around him.
Season One: Classic eps ("Three Stories"), established the primary characters, etc. etc.
Season Four: It had by far the best season finale.
Season Five: Not much behind Four for best season finale, but the rest of the season is a little flat.

And then all the other seasons.

**Palin** · 2012-02-09 00:48

Sad to see, but its probably time. Hope they have a clear ending in mind.

**Nuriko** · 2012-02-09 09:22

Euphoria 1 and 2 are probably still my favorite episodes of all time.

Same here, definitely an early high point for me though there are a lot of episodes I enjoyed as much in later seasons these two still stick out.

I always like the beginning and end of House seasons, it's just the middle parts that are usually weaker and less interesting. I loved the beginning of season 6, but soon it was back to the usual affair.

**pugnax179** · 2012-02-09 09:42

well, this is very upsetting but expected this to come soon enough

best episode was "Wilson's Heart" for me, as with the entirety of season 4

**hey** · 2012-02-09 09:42

Gonna go with season 8 as the best season.

Seriously, two of the best episodes ever, of any show, period.

Iirc, season 6 was when he was sent to rehab, I enjoyed that season a lot.

If the show was able to keep kal penn, I wonder where it would be at and what direction it would be in right now.
