I agree with you.
And I was totally uninterested in the show.. Then last seaon i watched a couple of episodes just out of boredom at the end of the series..
.. and they started to take it down a REALLY interesting route - completely chnaging the format of everything.
Then the first episodes of this season aired and it was like a breath of fresh air.
Im hoping they keep this up and dont fall back into the same old same old terrioty.
Dont want to "do an ollie" here.. so i'll explain in spoiler tags
Basically house was taking pain killers for his leg. He becomes addicted to them, and eventually starts hallucinating dead people. This comes to a head when he hallucinates sleeping with his transexual boss and decides to tell the whole hospital about it.
The whole of the final episodes in the season with him coming to terms with and realising he was a nut job came pretty much out of nowhere. And as a viewer were quite shocking
This season opened up with a 2 hour special of him in a mental institute... It had quite possibly the most harrowing depiction of going cold turkey i'd seen on a tv show - and shows hugh laurrie to be a great actor. Watching someone sqwirm on a bed covered in his only urine isnt something i thought i'd see on the ever so sensitive american tv.

Where it goes from here is anyones guess. Im hoping it DOESNT fall back into the same old boring formula. If it does - i'll just make my House viewings to be the last few episodes of a season and the first few.
Be like watching a british series, say 6 episodes in total .. while ignoring all the boring fluff.
Watched the first episode (first hour) of the new House series last night actually. Really enjoyed it, which was a shock. Brilliant rejig of the show format. Both myself and Madame_Furie were shocked by it 
Actually can't wait to see the concluding part!

Told ya!
Although it only took 4 episodes for them to return to the exact same formula again.. So no i've grown tired of it.. will return to it 4 episodes from the end...

I watched house with my friend the other day, and I don't know why I haven't ever watched the series. I've seen a few episodes here and there, and I really like them, but I've just never brought myself to watch it. But now, maybe I will.
LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE OF GLEE WAS SO WICKED, the mashups were awesome, and for those that watch it, I SOOO WANT WILL TO TELL THE GUIDANCE COUNSELLOR THAT HE LIKES HER AND GET RID OF HIS NASTY WIFE!
Grr. TV makes me furious sometimes.

^ Yah Kristen was good, but the mashups are actually some of my favourites, aside from Don't Stop Believin' and Take a Bow.. Which are probably on par with the mashups now that I think about it. I think I preferred the guys one better, but I actually do wish Rachel would have done Halo alone, sans a mashup, because her voice would make it sound incredible.
At the end when Will and the one girl (for some reason I can't think of her name.. the guidance girl) were in the hall and were totally about to say the liked eachother, I literally like, smacked the couch when they just kept walking along in the hall, UGH. PISSED ME OFF! And I will feel bad for Ken if she leaves him, he's such a peach.

Good man.
I'm going through Castle. I got behind on Dollhouse in season 1 and never caught up-- but I'll get there sometime.
Castle is still the best thing going now as far as I'm concerned.
Recently I've gotten into watching NCIS. I haven't tried to watch the new ones playing now yet, I've just stuck to seasons 1-6. I've now seen 90 of them, which is 65% or so. So I'm slowly getting to completing the list. That's a fantastic show too... right up there with Castle.

Watching:
The Vampire Diaries even though it's not out in the UK just yet.
FlashForward....It's cool and all but there isn't that many twists in it to keep me interested..
Lost... Re watching all of them so I will be ready for the final season!
