I
only wonder because when I go to other blogs like House is Right or Watching House everyone else seems much more worried about every other character on the show.Let me make this clear:
I don't give a flying fart about Cuddy, Wilson, Cameron, Chase, or 13.
I only "like" the characters because they give House the opportunity to be funny or brilliant or an ass.
That's all.
Wilson has always gotten on my nerves because he's House's conscience. I enjoyed the private detective's character more than Wilson because he was just funny. If House happened to have one of his brilliant flashes or learn something about himself while talking to the guy, that was just a bonus. Wilson's sole purpose, IMO, is to be the audience. He's always the one to say "That's insane, you shouldn't do that." and for exposition's sake, he adds "But I know why you're doing it. It's because..."
The one who should be telling House that he's insane is his boss, Cuddy. Does she? No. Because she's a punk bitch. He does whatever he wants to do and she stands by and lets it happen.
Chase has gotten more interesting this season. He stands up to House a little more than he has in the past, but he still ends up doing what it is that House wants him to do. If I never saw him again, I wouldn't care. Not even a little bit.
Cameron is just in love with House. I don't care how many times she denies it. I don't care how many ways she tries to prove that she's in charge. She's just the girl following him around like a puppy dog and eventually doing what House wants her to do.
13 is hot. She's a little interesting because of her history & future. But I don't care if she dies. I don't care if she goes blind. I don't care if she marries Foreman or breaks his heart or goes on a killing spree in Princeton, New Jersey. She's just there.
The show needs people who try to give House a hard time. Characters that try to make him realize that he's a jerk and he doesn't need to be.
I suppose it helps that the characters have history with him, because he's more likely to think about what they say to him. But I don't care about them individually, feel me?
Someone is "upset" because Jesse Spencer's character (Chase) won't be in the 100th episode.
So what!?!?
People were upset when House's original team left and he got the new 'kids'.
Whatever.
I started watching the show because this doctor was funny and "almost always eventually right" (be the first person to tell me what episode that quote is from and I'll give you 500 EC credits.)
The other characters on the show have always been glorified extras to me. I don't care about their lives. I don't need their history.
I don't even care about House's history. I just want to know what he's going to do next.
Mark my words, people. The second that House gets into a romantic relationship with one of his sycophants (Wilson, Cuddy, or Cameron) and attempts to be happy, or stops using Vicodin, or tries to be 'a better man', the show will stop being interesting to me and everyone else.
Monica & Chandler got together, Friends was over.
Dewayne Wayne got Whitley & they weren't funny anymore.
Max & Kyle got together instead of arguing constantly and Living Single went in the toilet.
Lois & Clark got married and the public got bored.
You may think you want House to be happy, but you really don't. Not if you want the show to continue...

Great new background... I know you did that so you can enjoy your own blog more, right? LOL And AMEN, House is called HOUSE for a reason, the rest are all temporary fluff holding up the jewel in the box. If House got nice, or happy or some such shit, they'd have to turn it into a dream show or it would be the beginning of the very rapidly following end.
ReplyDeleteIt's from the last episode of season 2. My husband and I like to watch this show. They also show reruns on some cable network, I don't remember which.
ReplyDeleteAmen, House is one self righteous bastard and that's why we watch. the other characters actually get on my nerves, but hey, he can't very well do a monologue - or could he?
ReplyDeleteYou are very passionate about this subject - but I already knew that! Great background - it certainly stands out! :-)
ReplyDeleteAria - It's for Valentine's Day. House is holding a heart. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBabette - You are correct. Your EC Credits are on the way. They show reruns on USA and WB here. But since I have the DVDs I can watch them anytime. :-)
Denise - Remember that episode "Alone" when he talked to himself and the janitor? That was funny, LOL.
LJP - I'm not really that passionate about it... ;-)
LOL! LOVE it! And -- I LOVE me some House! He is such a brilliant actor. It cracks me up to hear his "British" accent when he's not being House! We love him in our house! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSherrie - He is pretty brilliant. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love his physical comedy too.
I could do without the accent. He'd be so much sexier to me if he sounded like Tommy Lee Jones...*swoon*
House is definitely the main man on the show. Hell, they pay him $450,000 an episode. However, I think all the characters fit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteTrench - He's gotten a raise then. The last time I heard, he was making $300,000/episode.
ReplyDeleteCould not agree with you more!
ReplyDeleteI hate when all the other characters take up precious air time when Hugh could be onscreen!!
LAURIE IS AMAZING AND I ADORE HIM!!!
I like Wilson too.
I wonder what's up with all the Anonymous comments lately?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the EC credits! I told my husband that watching House all these years just paid off. LOL Btw, did you see that SNL skit years ago with Hugh Laurie? They spoofed that British ghost hunters type of show. It's pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteBabette - Yeah, I saw that. My favorite from that episode was when he played Keenan's wife at the hospital.
