Title: You don't have to be a psychic
Review: I started watching this show when it first came on, and like many of the other reviewers, I was immediately delighted with Hugh Laurie's witt and sarcasm. However, as I continued to watch each week, it occured to me that every single episode of this show is virtually identical: A patient comes in who House immediately diagnoses with a common illness. But guess what? It isn't a common illness! It is in fact the most obscure and farfetched explanation possible, and in the process of finding this out, House will break protocol, alienate his superiors, and almost lose his job, all for the sake of saving the patient. End. While this isn't necessairly a bad plot, seeing it over and over and over is rather formulaic and it is easy for your attention to wane. The only real reason to watch this show is for Laurie's sarcasm, but I get enough of that from my kids already.
Is the review positive or negative?
