Yes - another season pass bites the dust!

Yes!
The wife and I have watched the entire series, so the show will definitely be missed in our house-hold. We have actually found this season to be quite funny, w/ the new minions on his staff and re-establishing his hijinks w/ Wilson.

Sad to hear the show is ending after one of the best episodes I've seen in years.

I'm nowhere near tired of House, which remains one of my favorite TV shows, but I've read a few interviews with him where he talks about being away from his family and walking with that limp (he actually developed physical problems because of doing that so much). I can't say I like the guy and expect him to keep going through that, so that makes it a little more palatable that the show is ending.

I'm the rare bird that actually liked 13 so when she was on less and less my interest sort of died. I think I bowed out at the very start of season 7.

I think 2011 might be just as good

I thought the show did a great job of rebooting year after year, and I'm bummed to see it go.
I wonder if it will go out with a bang...

Despite what a few of you said, I thought the re-boot in season 4 where everyone quit and House conducted the search for a new team was a fun way to revitalize the show.
It did have it's drawbacks though. Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer and Omar Epps screentime got cut down dramatically. Morrison was literally non-existent in the show for 2 seasons until they wrote her out.
The only thing that could have been handled better with the new team was Kutner's suicide. I was shocked at the time, but it literally came out of nowhere wth no setup.

I liked the search for a new team as well, those were some of the best episodes when he was weeding people down.

Me, I still watch. The wife gave up on it a couple of seasons ago.

Also the U.S. version of The Office didn't premiere until the Spring of 2005.

House right now, even after using the same formula year after year, is still more entertaining than most other shows on network television. Laurie probably demanded some outrageous sum to come back, knowing he wanted out anyway.

They did it again later when they killed off Cutthroat Bitch in what is considered by many to be the creative peak of the series.

he misspelled 'rumor' as 'rumer', so I posted a picture of Rumer Willis.

The Masters character that temporarily replaced 13 was way more hard to take. It felt like she was extremely judgmental and disagreed just to disagree within every episode. I don't think I ever sided with her view ever (House episodes are easily forgettable though).
Fun show. Nice to have one of those that where you can miss an episode or two and not be completely in the dark.

Love the show. Yes, the formula has gotten a little tired but I'm still entertained and I can't say that about many network shows right now.
The only part of the series that always bugged me was the way Kutner offed himself. I realize they had to write Kal Penn out but it was just so ridiculous. A lot of the show had out there moments but this one always bothered me the most.
It's gonna be sad not seeing it on TV after this season. I like Hugh Laurie with an American accent. His film career never really took off here, other than some bit parts in some movies, so I wonder what's next on his plate.

Not surprised ... excellent show, but it is time. I think several posters have misunderstood though - Fox didn't pull the plug. The creators have decided it has run its course.
My prediction: it was all in his mind. House is actually a psyche patient.

That's how I read the OP's article ... guess it all depends on who you believe. Any way you slice it, it is time.
