(58,647 posts)after I figured out the formula for it, and when I didn't find the characters especially compelling, I dropped it.
Now? I routinely channel surf past it.

(3,286 posts)Some of the episode stories are ingenious or touching.
I remember being annoyed by the casual sexism and racism, but there's the 90s. Ignore the utter absurdity of 5 mds all working for days in one case.

(12,647 posts)Decent premise and Hugh Laurie was great in it. Last two seasons sort of jumped the shark, but as a combination detective/doctor series in the inductive reasoning model (vice deductive) it was pretty good and stretched credulity only half the time.
The snark could be cruel, but his character was supposed to be a bit cruel due to his personal issues. You aren't supposed to like House, you were supposed to respect his intellect and maybe feel some pity at his cynicism.
