I've been watching episodes of "House MD" while taking study breaks during finals week. I've already seen every episode, so I don't have to watch it and focus on the plot too heavily. While I was re-watching it, I remembered why this show is so good.
1. Most of the diseases are rare and mysterious
Each episode starts out with the patient having symptoms that cause the team to think it is one thing, but it never is, and although you know it will end well, you still always wonder if the patient will make it.
2. It can be funny
Sometimes patients are in pain, but House can still sometimes manage to make jokes, even if they're offensive to the patient.
3. It shows that life isn't always fair
House got shot and lives in pain, and it shows good people and sometimes children contracting diseases that prove life isn't fair.
4. You wish he was your doctor
There is just something about the fact of who he is, kind of like Derek Shepherd from "Grey's Anatomy."
5. House isn't perfect
He's rude, manipulative, and sometimes arrogant, just like a real person he isn't perfect.
6. So many good one liners
The show is just full of hilarious one liners, how can you not love it.
7. Olivia Wilde
I have loved her since she was on the show and I still think she is a great actress.
8. House and Wilson's friendship
They're perfect best friends who usually keep each other in line.
9. House on Clinic duty
House always runs into someone who you feel like you would definitely meet in a free clinic.
10. House's Soap Operas
You can't help but laugh when you see someone on a medical drama show watching a medical drama show.
