I am a huge fan of House - he is one of the best character studies and comedies on telly. It’s a masterpiece of script writing and excellent dialogues. The whole medical enviroment is just for scenery and providing life threatening situations for our heros / doctors. But most of all: I love that all characters develop rapidly - and don’t stay static like in so many other shows. I want more of that! It’s good that american TV has developed a hunger for nasty and older characters - instead of all these young, fertile and naive youngsters (e.g. Friends).
