i heard a lot of good stuff about the show and im planning to watch it...but whats so special about it....i wanna know

heres my take on house:
Dr. Gregory House M.D. and his team of usually three ( =[ ) diagnose very difficult medical cases by trial and error procedure. He also leans on his best friend James Wilson and has a complicated relationship with his boss =]

the first couple seasons were mostly about the cases. i guess after a while the cases got kinda boring and they started involving relationship and personal problems.

what makes this shoe so special is that the doctor himself has a problem; a while back, he had a clotted anyurism is his thigh, causing an infarction. it resulted in partial loss of his leg, making him use a cane. also a result of the infarction, he has to take a narcotic drug called vidodin to relive the pain, and he became addicted. his addiction is a common plot topic through the seasons.

May I say the fans...LOL.
The show is an equtation that equals perfection. It has drama, love, comedy. It's amazing!
Really the first season get you hooked. It's amazing. House the main character is fantastic, because he's such a jerk that you end up liking him. I know it sounds weird but you won't understand if you don't watch.
Really it's such a good show.

whats so special about it? lol..everything...but you need to watch all the seasons...

I think describing House would be kind of difficult. I think it is great and I absolutly love it. When it first started I hadn't watched but assumed it was crap so I hated it, then I watched just one episode and fell in love. I guess people can only convince you to watch it from there own experiences, and mine are great, so I convince you to give it a go. But everyone is different. Like I said before, I cant describe it because there is not enough room in the world to say how good I think this show is.

And to answers those 2 other questions, 1. his not really sick un-less you count jerkiness (which he did once)and is limp 2. its about doctors trying to cure people +theres the characters relationships and stuff.

House M.D. is not just a hospital show..with..doctors..who are..kinda' funny and stupid cases and love relations..and all that. It has by far waaaaay better humor than Scrubs and it beats Grey's Anatomy and any other show I can think of right now :) It's a show you'll get to love..honestly !! Greg House is amazing. He's really really fun to watch, he has this brilliant lines and he makes fun of people soooo good you'll find yourself laughing a lot :P You'll fall 4 him in a minute :P cause he's adorable :P he treats patients not exactly professional :P and he cares about the people around him in his own way :) Once you love Greg House, it's gonna be easy to find what others have that is special :) and to get to discover them and love them too :)
It's not boring, it's not annoying, it's alive, freaking funny, smart and even sad sometimes and by sad I mean the kind of sad that makes you care more about the characters :P Go watch it !!

it's the best show on television and that has ever been created! that's what makes it so god damn special :D :D :D :D :D

what's it about? basicly first few minutes a person gets sick , then they have to convince house to take the case cuz hes bored lazy and "avoids work like the plage unless it actually is the plage" after he takes it well he and his team proceed to do diferencial diagnosis where they may find diferent posibilities but the patiens gets more symtoms therefore more clues the diagnosis is usualy wrong until the end where something happens or something is said that gives house an epiphany where usualy(not always) solves the case...oh m he's always right ...

but thats the medice ,, the caracters are jst adictive especialy house... and the storylines well u have to see for urself,great people,feelings,sexual tension,crushes,complicated real friendship, and an original, complicated mind,objective,genius,rebel etc etc if u see one episode and are no immidiatly curious abt him,good for u cuz,i for one couldnt resist,i saw the whole 4 sesons n part of 5th in 3 days more than 97 episodes,in 72 hours damn....either way hope u like it !!!

Okay I'll try not to write an essay on this.

To give a very basic jist of the show, its a procedural show with a formula. Every week a new patient is brought in with a wierd and wonderful disease, that eventually is cured or the patient dies (obviously after a few different attempts). The show centers around Gregory House, a misanthropic genius who is highly regarded for his diagnostic skills, who takes on cases that only appeal to him. That would be extremely basic.

Really the show is a character study of Gregory House with the medical procedure show in the background. It deals with how House deals with everyday and the relationships he has with the people who surrond him, his fellows (or his team of doctors who work under him), his best friend Dr. James Wilson and his boss Dr. Lisa Cuddy. All of the relationships are highly complicated and deeply layered since House has trouble letting people in.

The medicine is highly detailed and top notch as well as the character development and stories behind the procedure part of the show deep, questioning society and generally just makes you think.

Sorry if that was a long response.
