Despite their repartee and dynamic, the series was still about this cynical, misanthropic yet great diagnostician solving the world’s weirdest medical cases and goofing around with his best friend, the oncologist who put up with the former’s miserableness.
Yes! This was the show I loved.

There's something rather comforting about an article that revisits Huddy years later. Not only is Chancellor Agard puzzling over it, but so was I. Why was it necessary to spend more than half a season watching two people making each other miserable? I wasn't particularly interested in the two getting together, but when season 7 began I was prepared to accept and make the best of the romance. After all, House deserved a little happiness. If it makes him happy, I'm...

Instead... romance, ha! We got a fleeting moment which was then stomped out of existence by the writer's showing us down to the pettiest detail how the couple could never work. Stupid, stupid. stupid.

Me either.

Though for me it started in S5 with the anvils and the pining and all that. Things only got worse from there.

I just wish it hadn't consumed the whole show. The problem was that there was no real tension, so it's all forced emotions from Cuddy about House lying to her and some such. There are no stakes. The entire time I was thinking "What happens when they break up? They're just awkward around each other? The fallout cannot be anything so serious." But then the car crash happened, which is about as forced as it gets. Nothing about the season felt natural; it felt like writers going through a checklist of the things that would wedge them apart.

"Small Sacrifices" and "After Hours" were particularly good episodes, at least. Didn't hate "Bombshells", "Out of the Chute", or "The Dig" either. I remember watching Season 6's "Epic Fail" video game episode on DVD, which is pretty hilarious, and then when I switched over to live TV, "Selfish" from Season 7 happened to be on, and it was just dreary, melodramatic, lacked humor... I think that sums up a lot of Season 7.

I definitely agree with everyone here (and Chancellor Agard). House/Cuddy is filed under "Things That Don't Make Sense" along with the How I Met Your Mother series finale.
