I love that fact, that the plot is completely formulaic (disease nobody understands confuses doctors, they guess a couple of wrong things, patient gets worse, then inspiration strikes house and his genius saves the day) yet this is irrelevant to what the show is about, as it is a character driven show. It really is about genius, and how much of an a-hole you can tolerate to be around it, and about how much the ends can justify the means. Also it is hilarious, which helps. One of my favorite things house does is when he blackmails a surgeon by saying he will tell the man's wife he is cheating on her unless he performs the operation, so he performs the operation and house tells the wife anyways

I think the character-drivenness (lol) could be taken to a whole new level if they varied the plot more. How does genius (in this case) deal with the death of his patients? How does that affect his future patients?
NL Hold em is a game measured in hours of pure boredom interrupted by moments of shear terror.

Fair point. But that the show can be so good in spite of its formulaicness (see I can make up words too
) says something about ... well something.

House is good, but unfortunately it's opposite Scrubs. More people need to watch Scrubs.
Scrubs has even taken some shots at House in recent weeks.
