I do. I really like it, especially as I am interested in medicine.

I love it, especially House himself because I can identify with him. I know he is a jerk but he has some sweet Aspieness in there too!

Never miss it. I do however wish the plots weren't quite so formulaic:

-patient presents with mysterious condition
-House misdiagnoses, making patient worse
-someone says something that triggers House's moment of realization (as patient lays on death's doorstep)
-patient is treated and recovers

All the while, lots of interpersonal shenanigans amongst interns and staff (the best part of the show, IMHO).

My two cents...

It is a great show but, I wish they did something more realistic like 'Mystery Diagnosis' on the Discovery Health Channel. With Mystery Diagnosis, they even ask for people to send in any unusual health problems they have had for future episodes.

Love House...what a great character. Laurie plays it so well, too.

I've seen it a few times, but I don't watch it regularly.

This show is my main 'fixation' that can be attributed to AS. I'm pretty obsessed with it lol. Hugh Laurie is awesome!

I watch it regularly. I'd say it's my favourite show on TV right now. Beautiful sets, great character interaction, interesting guest actors, intriguing medical puzzles.

I've never liked those Hospital Shows, but House is really worth watching. Mainly because he's such an ass ;) I love the show. And Hugh Laurie could turn anyone into a wibbling puddle on the floor *sigh*

I stopped watching halfway through the drug cop thing... I used to love the show now I don't care about it any more.
