House, M.D. - Season Four

Terrible! House jumped the shark! (2009-01-04) Rating: 1/5
I own season 1-3 on dvd and I always used to watch House on television...and in fact would wait for this show to come on each week.

However, this show is just absolutely terrible now. It's a wonder that it's still on television.

The new characters are lame and the whole show just seems like the writers ran out of ideas for the original characters but yet didn't want to forgo making money! Also, they dumbed down this show significantly from the first 3 seasons.

I absolutely hate it when shows sellout and become all about the money rather than just being concerned with writing good entertainment and sadly this is what this show has become.

Vote this show off the island! (2009-01-02) Rating: 2/5
If "House" had an actor of lesser talent than Hugh Laurie, it would have been off the air after season 2. By season 3, the shows were becoming formulaic and themes were being recycled. Unfortunately, the solution was not to fire the writers but to back-burner the primary actors.

If the writers and producers had a bit more imagination and courage, they've got great characters and situations they could mine more deeply; instead, they chicken-out, content to skim the surface.

Season 4 pushes the viewer's willing suspension of disbelief past the breaking point. Chase, an intensivist, becomes a skilled surgeon and Cameron, an immunologist, becomes a senior ER attending? Really? And they still want to work at the same hospital as House? Really?

And then there's the ridiculous "reality TV" style interviews to replace House's team. Sure, it fits with House's love of games, but really?

And, finally, while House nearly lost his friends, job, and freedom for Vicodin in Season 3, his Vicodin addiction seems to have virtually disappeared in Season 4. Really?

Vote this season of House off the island. It deserves NO IMMUNITY.

House is an excellent show. Love watching the shows in sequence. If you are a fan of the medical shows this one will be a great choice.
Awful TV show and waste of money (2008-12-09) Rating: 1/5
How a show like this is still on the air is a mystery to me too. This show should have ended after probably 1 season - don't waste your money. A completely lame tv show.
