Although I disagree about Foreman (but not about "Foreteen"), I agree with pretty much everything on this list.

.

Jadzia

Who was Lucas?

Arthur Dent

The private detective.

Deftones

i don't find it disappointing. it's definitely not as good as past seasons, but it's still pretty much one of the best shows on any of the 4 networks.

Timber

How can they say Foreman was there least favorite of the original 3 and then in the next one say that Chase was the weak link? I've personally always been a big Foreman fan and actually like where his character arc has taken him.

TheNightFlier

I liked the PI, he was a pretty good foil for House.

the big train

I thought the PI was good, but he was nothing more than a Wilson stand-in. He should still be on the show because they've relegated Wilson to nothing more than some nosy go-between for the stupid House and Cuddy... whatever it is.

Charlie Goose

It took them five seasons to see the formula?

My Other Self

Foreman is my favorite of the old-team. I like him. I just hate Foreteen. I can't stand Olivia Wilde, and their relationship looks so forced. There's no way.

I'll agree this season has been quite a downer. Here's hoping it get's better.

I can't see the list as it is blocked here at work, but I've been finding it harder and harder to keep up with the episodes lately. Before there was some relationship stuff that I cared about, but I just don't care about Cuddy and the baby and Foreman and 13.

That's the gist of the article.

This is their Top-10:

1. Too Much Thirteen

2. House Seems to Have Given Up

3. Cameron is Rarely On

4. Cuddy is Baby Crazy and Stupid

5. Too Much Foreman

6. Chase Is Never on the Show

7. Wilson Is Too Mopey

8. They Got Rid of Lucas

9. Too Much Cuddy/House Flirting

10. Because After Five Seasons, We're On to Them

(Read the original article, though, for the detailed explanation of each)

I don't know, nothing on that list is even half as annoying to me as season 3's David Morse storyline was.

dhmac

Seasons 1, 2, & 3 - it was definitely one of the best shows on TV.

Seasons 4 & 5 - it's still a good show, but not as good as it was. However, it still has one of the best main characters ever on TV.

If I had to sum up the Top-10, it'll be this: Return the show back to where it was in its first 3 seasons (aka, bring back the old team, dump the new team; and return House, Cuddy and Wilson back to the way they were in the early seasons).

movieking

Thanks for the list, dhmac.

I agree with getting rid of these new interns and going back to the old, but not sure how much sense it would make in terms of the storyline.

godzilla rules

Am I the only one who loves thirteen? I think that she is one of the best things on the show.

Timber

No, I like Thirteen as well. If I could get Thirteen, Cameron and Foreman and the team I would be happy. The other 2 now are dead weight and Chase I was never a fan of.

DJariya

I like 13 or Remy. Initially I thought she was a really boring character, but she's actually grown on me. I would have rather had Amber or Cutthroat Bitch stick around, but since she's down dead that doesn't matter.

Everyone keeps begging for House to work again with Foreman, Cameron and Chase. However, how the hell would that work? They all have new jobs and aren't residents learning under House anymore.

the big train

I think people only say they want that because they want the show to go back to the way it was when those characters were on his team. You know, back in the day when the show was about House and the patient he was treating that week, rather than Thirteen's crisis du jour or whatever stupid thing is going on with Cuddy this week.

Back then we'd get about one episode a season that focused on one of House's fellows or Cuddy. Now pretty much every episode features somebody other than House, and they don't even spread the wealth among Taub and Kutner other than little random asides about their problems.

Shazam

I hated the PI storyline.

The David Morse storyline was, as mentioned by somebody else, incredibly annoying.

But the storyline with that big fat black guy was truly insipid.

We all know that Chase, etc are coming back. They're still first billed!

GradVT06

I read it as they were saying Foreman was the least favorite and Chase was the weak link medically- as in he was the least beneficial to the team as a diagnostician, not a cast member.

I agree with pretty much all the points. Add the Morse/cop storyline which I thought was just awful, and I thought the show has gotten worse each season. Season 1 and 2 were the best and since each season's gotten a little worse. It's gone from a "must see" to middle-pack show. If I've got a week's worth of shows on the DVR, I'm watching about 8 shows ahead of House. Give me the original cast.

dhmac

They were able to write a way for Foreman to return to House's team, so a storyline could be written for Cameron and Chase to return too. (The fact that the opening credits have not been changed gives me hope that this will happen at some point.)

Original Desmond

i have watched every season of House. I watched the first few eps then ejected this show

hard thing to do

It's nice to see that one of the biggest complaints of fans (not enough Chase and Cameron) is being addressed in the upcoming season.
