House
This show has become my favorite drama on TV. Dr. House is a brilliant and bitter doctor who works in a specialty field at John Hopkins hospital. He is always cranky, has to use a cane, and is addicted to Vikadin. He has on his staff three brilliant doctors who's job it is to come up with differential diagnoses to fix problems that no one else can. House is up front, blunt, and sometimes just plain rude, but always manages to come up with a solution to the problem. Great show, and worth checking out.

I have seen this show a couple of times, and agree that it is very good. The plots are complex and intense, with tremendous realism.
I really do like this show. Unfortunately, it is on too late in the evening for me to watch it much. Not to mention that I am usually on a computer, so don't watch much TV at all.

As perplexing as the case is, Julia's happy and healthy, yet polygamous relationship is equally baffling to the team. Meanwhile, House tests Wilson's relationship with Sam.
This is an excellent program. It has a unique 'hero' at the heart of it and although the stories are formulaic: 'It's this, no it's that, no it's this... Actually it's this!", the writing and the acting are good enough that you don't notice and when you do notice, you don't care.
Highly recommended.
