    Never saw one fucking episode and proud of it.

    So noted. Missed that one.

    The news is depressing. By far, my favorite show of all-time. It was easy to relate to. When the last episode airs, I'll keep it on my DVR for two weeks, knowing after I watch it, it's all over. That's that. Much like I did when Season 4 of The OC came to a close (yes, I'm a nerd).

    Why would you be proud of that? You may not be a fan of the show, but it's not exactly trash.

    Yeah, it's not like The Situation is performing bunion surgeries for an hour. If you've never seen Dr. House at his finest (or worst), you missed out on some quality television,
    especially in the first few seasons. Hugh Laurie is magnificent in the role.

    Exactly. It's actually one of the better shows around. And Hugh Laurie has provided a career performance.

    Per the ending, if it doesn't end badly for House, they're not being honest to themselves. It must end badly for House.

    Also known as Nip/Tuck.

    House was great for a few seasons, but it's an episodic procedural, which is fancy criticspeak for a repetitive show. They didn't have many good multiepisode plots even when the show was at its best, in the first three seasons. But the characters were fresh then. Now, it's limping worse than House.

    I still get joy out of watching it, for 1) Great Greg House one-liners and insults, and 2) trying to guess which seemingly unrelated item and nonsequitor will trigger his "a-ha" moment. Yes, it's flagged of late, but it's still better than most of what airs (and almost ALL of NBC's lineup), IMHO.

    I stopped watching regularly when some of the regulars started leaving, and I didn't really want to see him get coupled up with Cuddy.

    It may have lost a bit from the early seasons, but it was always a very intelligent, very well-acted, very well-written show.

    Some people here are acting like it's 2 1/2 Men or According to Jim.

    I'm still pissed The OC was cancelled, and I'm in denial about Smallville being done (which isn't helped by the fact that there's a comic book called "Season 11" coming out in April).

    Anyway, when House is over, I'm down to watching Raw, SmackDown and Supernatural. I'd get rid of Dish if my wife didn't watch 30 shows. There's hardly anything good on TV anymore.

    A very underrated show.

    I watched it every year it was on. The last two years or so it was pretty awful. Kimberly Williams left and then Courtney Thorne-Smith was "visiting her parents" or something for what seemed like 3 of every 4 shows. Once it was in syndication, it was milked for at least two more seasons. Lord knows that's not the first show they've done that to.
