Remember House M.D.?

[Prowler]

So I've been looking at House scenes on youtube lately. You know, Dr. House, starring Hugh Laurie? This was THE medical show to watch in the previous decade. At the time there still weren't streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, or if they existe,d they weren't as widespread as they are today. You actually had to go home and sit in front of your tv to wait for the next episode.

I remember being VERY intrigued by this show when I heard Prince George from Black Adder was starring as a doctor in a serious role. I first couldn't believe it. the idiotic and naive George from Black Adder in a "real" role? And plus, now he was a sex symbol among women? But lo and behold, he was terrific in his role and his personality was what made me watch the show, even though I've never liked medical shows except for Scrubs.

Now, I think we all know that House was rather formulaic and unrealistic. A doctor like House would never get away with most stuff he pulls in the show in real life, for starters. Also, his team only got people with rare conditions and such, something that would happen like once every 3 years in a doctor's career instead every week or wtv. Plus the last couple of seasons of the show were limping a bit already and it was time to call it quits. I was fine with the ending, even if it was rather unrealistic as well.

I think the best seasons of the show were seasons 2 and 3. The show was still rather fresh at the time and I've always liked the Chase, Foreman and Cameron team the best. Kutner was ok, but they got him killed. Taub was meh. 13 was nice. I've always had a feeling they changed House's team a bit from season 4 on because the ratings were going down a bit and they wanted to change up things a bit.

What did you think of this show back in the day? Have you tried to rewatch it since then? Do you believe it still holds up well? Thoughts?
