House Season 8: Prison Break *spoilers*

[Sephex]

Stopped watching after season 3.

Season 4 began the same year I started college, so I gradually drifted away from it. I liked the early years when his team was Cameron, Chase, and Foreman.

Agreed. Plus, it just got so repetitive. The formula was very overused. Patient falls down with some rare and unidentifiable illness and almost dies. House is their doctor. House is a dick. House thinks he has it halfway through the episode. The patients starts being treated for that illness, and something goes dangerously wrong. House realizes he was wrong. House has an epiphany and figures out things no one else can. Patient is is cure, then House complains about his leg some.

I see your point, but sometimes a certain formula really makes a show work. Plus, they have tried to change things up enough or at least had interesting sub plots going on that kept me watching.

The first couple seasons might have been the best episode-the-episode, but the season 4 finale (and penultimate episode), season 5 finale, season 6 opener, and season 6 finale (+ penultimate) were by far the strongest episodes of the show. The "formula" (or, y'know, being in a hospital with patients) was a backdrop for a lot of amazing writing and character development.

I do miss Cameron and Cuddy, though.

Im personally slightly glad it's over. I've never been so worried about every stomach upset, cough, bump, rash or bruise on my body being some horrifying flesh eating virus or something as I was when I marathoned House. Maybe now the paranoid insanity can end.
I liked season 8. Not as many penis catheders and eye needles as the other seasons which always make me cringe.
