I'm surprised! No House topic. I don't like a lot of tv shows these days, but House is truly a great show.
Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) is brilliant at solving medical mysteries. He rarely speaks to patients, and seems to disregard any rules he finds unreasonable.
Supporting cast is great too: Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Olivia Wilde and Jeniffer Morisson.

I've watched this show a couple times before, but was unimpressed. Having worked in the medical field for 18 years, it's not anywhere near what happens in real life, but then maybe it's not supposed to. I do like Hugh Laurie though...I saw him in an interview and was surprised that he had a British accent! His American accent on the show is flawless. JMHO!

That reminds me. One of the episodes I saw did a pretty realistic depiction of kids the same age as my own dying. I found it a bit too disturbing and never went back. I like something a bit lighter like St. Elsewhere...Chicago Hope was good for the first few seasons too.

@Dervish: Season 6 had a lot less 13! I wasnt happy with her getting so much screentime either. Let's hope that season 7 will bring a lot of new and interesting medical mysteries, and a little less soap operah stuff!

I am kind of in re-run heaven right now with Heroes and Icons showing House and JAG (and previously showing Early Edition). House was one of the most creative themes for a medical show and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The season with David Morse as Tritter the cop that wanted to ruin House did turn me off because it shows police as extremely vindictive bullies but that goes with the territory of TV making everything overly dramatic and not in sync with real life. I liked all of the characters and actors and think that casting for that show was above average.
