I have no idea what possessed us to do this but it's actually a pretty good/funny show and it brings back childhood memories!

Really? I used to watch it when I was younger but I feel like it hasn't aged well. I tried to watch a few episodes two years ago and I was like wtf is this?

Well when my flatmate starting watching it I laughed and was like wtf, why on earth are you watching this?! Then after being around it and sitting down and watching it with him it kinda grew back on to me... maybe it's just the sentimental factor!

That's sort of how I feel about Seinfeld. I love it and I watch it when it's on, but it's sort of dated now. Very 90's, like Home Improvement is. But I still like them.

Just read that House has been renewed for an 8th season. It's still one of my favourite shows on TV, but the dynamic of the show has changed so much since it started 7 years ago. I might still give it a chance when it starts again in September.

I like the changes that have gone on since it started 7 years ago.

Some characters have shown growth and we got to see the background/history of some of them.

I do like that: (spoiler tags ARE actually working, duh.):

Spoiler for House Season 7:

among other things. I do wish that they would shoot more clinic scenes with House, because the sarcastic way he treats patients is hilarious to me!

But who really cares about the other characters. Wilson is the only character besides House who is at all entertaining. They're only there for House to mock and abuse.

I don't see it that way. They are so used to House that mocking and abusing the team alone is boring imo. The interaction with the random patients and when he has to do clinic work is what I find entertaining.

I used to like the whole Wilson/House bromance stuff but that got old pretty quickly. I don't find that interesting anymore.

Its probably my favorite show on outside of Modern Family and NBC's Thursday night Juggernaut.

Have you seen that new show that comes on an hour or so after Modern Family? Happy Endings?

I like it for the fact that it has Casey Wilson in there and Damien Wayans. I can always count on those two for a laugh. I also like that one girl that used to play Denise from Scrubs.

I agree with you on that.

We all know that Wilson is House's real soulmate anyways

But his team has no personality. That new chick that wouldn't lie was cool. I like Thirteen, cause she satisfies my desire to stare at a hot red head nihilist. But all the others are just throwaway characters. And Cuddy's a MILF, but a boring MILF.

lol they have personalities it's just because they are male that you seem to ignore their personality and back stories that they have grown and shown over the years.
