If you like the TV show House, Seasons 1 and 2 are must haves. They hold the key history of the characters–House/Cuddy; House/Stacy (his only love); House/authority (always the enemy for him!); House/original assitants. I had never seen the show, but it was recommended to me since I like sarcastic humor. House is a genius at diagnosing illness, but uses trial and error to narrow it down–tries treatments before testing in interest of time–doesn’t value human relationships on the surface, but you can see that it is there for a select few. He also opposes authority on principal–what is expediant and makes sense controls–and lives by the philosophy that everyone lies…including him! “Enjoyable” humor when he confronts an ill patient, patient family member, etc who he thinks is lying. Very cleaver show–though last season (5) disappointing as seems to have lost focus on diagnosis and spending more time on “human relations.” The show’s draw is its focus on the process of diagnosis and how humanity is interwoven in that, now (season 5 and 6) the writers have reversed that. Less interesting, so makes this season 1 and 2 set more enjoyable to savor what was.
