Art's TV Reviews

I don't think I have ever seen an interesting array of characters play so well together in one TV show.

Dr. House is crazy, miserable, egoistic, obsessive-maniacal, funny (misantrophe, plus a host of other adjectives and big words) can evoke a very powerful reaction from viewers whether it be one of shock, outrage, curiosity, puzzlement, a ton of laughs, or others. Enough had been said bout him so I'll talk a bit about the other characters. I can't give him all the credit tho.

Dr. Wilson's "not-just-the-average-nice-guy" character sheds a very interesting contrast to that of House. Their friendship despite their differences and exchanges provide a good insight on the characters personalities.

Dr. Cutty provides a very interesting (power/sexual) tension and grounds House's character and shows there are just limits to what outrageous things you can get away with (stretchable of course if you're as good as House).

Dr. Cameron gives us a perspective on ethics, morality, and compassion ( at the same time, she is a sort of atheist).

Dr. Foreman is very brilliant and has an ego that's heading in the direction of House's (he's like House in the making trying to resist it.)

Dr. Chase is well, an interesting character in his own right, providing a good backdrop to the other characters - kiss-ass, jaded, and opportunistic at times, but reminds everyone once in a while that House didn't hire him for his looks has also bouts of loyalty - (plus that Aussie accent).

All the characters are as unique, diverse, and interesting as "real' people.The show is complete with drama, suspense, science, reason, ethics/morality, humanity, shock value, and humor.

All in all they make for a good show. Kudos to the actors and writers. I look forward to Season 4. I hope the changes and the new setup will be as exciting.
