He's a brilliant doctor/man who doesn't care about anything but solving the puzzle of the patient, breaking any rules that may prevent him from doing so. Plus he's hooked on vicodin. He's basically Sherlock Holmes in a lot of ways.

Heh, I don't know if you knew this or not but they based House off of Sherlock Holmes.

Wilson = Watson
House = Holmes
Etc...

I think that's on the House Wiki page. You should read up on it when you have time. There's some interesting facts about the show.

Just found out the show is concluding with the S08 finale.

How many episodes are left?

Eight.

I hope they do something worth a shit for these last 8 eps. Hopefully bring Cuddy back or House's ex GF (Stacy) from season 1-2. They need to conclude this amazing show on a high note.

I've always look at this show as an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. I haven't watched this year regularly as it hasn't been good for quite some time, but I'll probably watch the last few episodes.

I don't believe they've ever re-visited that great episode where House got shot (and the guy who did it named Moriarty supposedly escaped), but it would be nice if they did. I don't expect them to, though.

This makes me sad. End of an era. House was an excellent show and has held up extremely well over 8 years.

I tend to agree.

The show has to end with House dying though.
That'll be the only acceptable ending for me.

That's precisely what it is.

I made a joke about having Moriarty to come back and finish him off this time just the other day.

SVU's the only other drama I've ever attached myself to.
Not sure what I'm gonna follow now.

Heh, you know it's the only show I've ever purchased via DVD. I have all 7 seasons and watch them all the time. It never get's old, (especially season's 3 and 5).
Each time I watch it, I catch something new.

I'm going to buy every season on DVD once 8 is available.
I only found the show about two years ago (when I lost my job), but I've been a faithful follower of a 24/7/365 Internet channel that runs the eps in chronological order, ever since.

My favorite seasons are 4, 6 and 7.

Go Amazon when you do... I got all 7 seasons for under 100 bucks.

Nice! Thanks for the tip.
