PRAISE HOUSE!" I mean, really, correct me if I'm wrong (because I've never watched one full episode), but every trailer for every episode I've seen has had that exact same format. It's bullshit.

Well firstly watch a couple of episodes because the show is not about him solving the cases and secondly give me a show in which after three episodes i can't have a prediction of where the show is heading to.

yeah.

and it's still a great show, stop over-analyzing it.

Great show

check sig

It's awesome because of the interaction between characters, nobody remembers the plots, the people they have to save or try to, but they remember the great interplay between everyone.

lol i don't think that's totally the case. Wilson for example plays really well off him as being his own person even if he doesn't always get the better of him. I think the cast overall make the show, Hugh is great but you need people to work with who add to it being funny, one man can't carry a show like that and do so in such a funny way

No because dexter kills the hispanics, house tries to save them, if they have insurance anyway.

Admittedly formulaic, but still teh best show evar.

Loved it since the first episode despite being rather repetitive.

Not only are the conflicts between him and his peers very real, but some of them genuinely dislike him. They think he's a cocky fuck and they let him know. And yes, at his core he's an unapologetic dick. An unapologetic dick who's addicted to Vicodin, no less.

But he's an absolute genius. A tortured genius in a lot of ways. And it makes for great television. The show is about much more than him being right all the time.
