have you find yourself pasted to the tv screen everytime the show house starts? or do you always look forward to the next episode eventhough you just read the last line of the show's credit 3 seconds ago? do you actually know all the full names of the main casts? do you always fall for dr. gregory house's unusual way of diagnosing and treating patients evethough sometimes he acts like a brat? well i do! i love house and i'm a proud confessed house addict.

I always find myself looking forward to the next episode. I just want to know what is going to happen to house and more importantly the patients. It's just addictive. I can't explain it.

I love this show because it always has something new. I always love learning about the crazy medical mysteries they have on the show. Not to mention the cast is just great... I love the interaction that they all have, and it seems very real life, they don't always get along, and they do turn on each other instead of acting like best friends at all times. I love how you learn little by little about each character as it goes on, more than you knew before, instead of knowing their entire life story and then seeing it as it grows. I like to see how each character expands their role on the show, but also to learn stuff about them that happened in the past that comes out in certain episodes and makes more sense and makes you understand that person at that moment. Basically House is just one of the best shows on air!

I love House. It's one of my favorite. It's amazing how he solves his cases - he's so smart. His sarcasm is great. I'me a very sarcastic person, so I love it when I see a sarcastic character in a TV show or a movie. I've been watching House since day one! I think he's got a reason to be grumpy, but I got mad when he was taking out on everyone else. Then I realized he was addicted to the pain pills, and it all made sense. I just can't understand why he's an addict. He seems so strong and smart. But I guess if he's in so much pain, it kind of makes sense. I like how he acts with Cameron and his boss (it's been too long since it's been on I forgot her name). I'm glad Wilson turned him in. He only did it when he saw how much House was hurting others. He didn't just do it because of what House did to him, which is pretty noble. Wilson realized after others were getting hurt by him that he neeeded help. He also didn't want his friend to go to jail, so he made that deal. I think it was hard for Wilson. He didn't do it to be mean, he did it to help. But, would people still wathc the show if House kicked his addiction and acted nicer? There's the real question.

I'm another House addict. My husband and I have the first two seasons on DVD. Let me tell you, they're just as addictive as reruns. I cannot stop in the middle of an episode even if I've seen it before! I'm so upset that I have missed so many episodes this season. Would someone catch me up on the drama?

I will admit I love watching house and yes you could say I am addicted. If they had a House marathon I don't think I would budge from my chair till absolutely needed. Alot of people might call in sick too. I wish my husband would watch it, but he won't so I get to watch it alone without any interruptions so that is a good thing. His acting like a brat sometimes is what makes the show tick. I love the way he treats patients and diagnoses them. Actually I would pick this show over ER anyday anytime. I never really got into the ER thing but House and Nip/tuck I just can't seem to get enough of. And hopefully the shows never get cancelled because then they have a riot on there hands. lol Well happy watching and have a good day!

I love this show so much. I like House he is just such a jerk it makes it so good. I come home Tuesday nights after I get off work and even though I should go to bed because I have to work in the morning, I don't because I can't wait another day to see that episode I recorded (thank god for DVR's)!!!!

well here is some things what makes that show so interresting and also addictiving. 1. House is so mean and still he is the smartest 2. The problems he resolves is leading on a way to the next problem 3. There is many other people there taht maakes their own taste to this program 4. Will House get himself a girlfriend like that one he went out with once will they continue that makes nme atleast to look at house... Today comes next episode of house in Finland(i live there)... This thing with relationship is also the most common reason why people is looking at some shows. The human mind is allways looking for some action between other humans just like big brothers or something like that. Those Tv programs are the most watched programs. I want more programs like house :)

Dr. House is a very good series. I enjoy watching it and I've even suggested it to my students because they would learn so much from it (not the sarcastic approach of Dr. House though hehe). I hope they would release a dvd compilation. Downside though, Dr. House is not for all viewers, It is most understood by the medically inclined because they understand the medical jargon.

I've watched House quite a few times. I think it's really good but I've never gotten to the point of following the plotline regularly. I watch it when I catch it on... I just love Hugh Laurie though. He's hilarious and just perfect.

I don't think I'm a House addict (not yet, anyway) but for me, it's the sarcasm - sarcasm - sarcasm. To be that opinionated, and blunt and able to say exactly what's on your mind and to come up with the responses so fast and NOT suffer bad repercussions because of it...it's every smartass's dream!!! I can usually come up with the blunt and sarcastic but it's more often than not to my detriment and I usually don't get away without some serious repercussions!
