Ok, three more lists:

Dr. Gregory House | Top 50 TV Characters | UGO.com

Quote:

48. The acerbic Dr. House, played with aplomb by British thespian Hugh Laurie, shatters our preconceptions of how a doctor should act. Where in the past, TV doctors have been kind, comforting and patient, House is a caustic, nervous wreck, following inexplicable hunches to get to the bottom of the oft-bizarre conditions he and his staff are presented with. As a young man, House was expelled from Johns Hopkins for copying answers on a test, going on to get his degree from the University of Michigan. After suffering an infarction in his leg, he underwent a potentially dangerous surgery to repair it, leaving him with a limp and constant pain, which he manages with pills. After taking a job at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, where he is supervised by former one-night stand Lisa Cuddy, House assembles a crack team of doctors to help him treat a medical mystery each and every week. House has no patience for his patients, if you'll excuse the pun, and his mantra for dealing with them is "Everybody lies." After surviving a malpractice trial, a bus accident, and most of his staff quitting, House is ready for a new season and new diseases - possibly lupus!

15. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie)
House, FOX, 2004-present

To quote his boss, House is “an egomaniacal, narcissistic pain in the ass.” But he can diagnose a waiting room full of patients in a minute on his way out the door, so, whatever.

“Slippery slope—today we withhold porn, tomorrow it’s clean bandages.”

Quote:

Dr. Gregory House: Where most TV docs are whining about their relationships, House is too busy pushing the boundaries of human decency and medical malpractice to diagnose the unsolvable cases. Breaking and entering is not a suggestion for House’s team, but a mandate to get past the lies patients tell. There’s no law or rule of etiquette free from House’s desire to solve every problem thrown his way.

Made Chuck Norris most proud when he shot a corpse in the head.

I miss House being badass this season

Those are some pretty awesome lists!

Thanks for posting!

Aurora Cormier · 12-26-2009, 07:50 AM

See, you miss him being badass, and other people miss him caring about people, lol

Awesome lists, hehehe, thanks for posting

Isn't this just perfect, you have a one-night stand with someone, and that person ends up being your boss, LOL, talk about a small world

And I'll never understand the University thing, really..........I thought he was expelled from Hopkins first and went to Michigan later, like the test said, that would make sense with Cuddy saying he was already a "legend" (season 2, Humpty Dumpty) when she met him. But then came season 6, and House says Michigan was the first medical school from which he was expelled...........so, he was expelled from 2 universities? Then where DID he graduate after all?

Being badass doesn’t eliminate being caring, too. Or you don’t have to be cruel to be a badass

For me they started to rewrite canon that it can fit into the current storyline

One more list: The Top 10 TV Characters of the Decade TVOvermind

Quote:

#1 – Gregory House, House
It's no secret that I've lost interest in the television series House. Its cyclical storytelling and lack of plot progression finally made me stop watching after the fifth season. However, that doesn't mean that I don't like the character of House; I think he's one of the greatest television characters ever.

When House was casting, actor Hugh Laurie believed that the series (which didn't have a title yet) would revolve around the character of Wilson, and that House would serve as Wilson's sardonic sidekick. This, however, was not the case. House was the main character of the show, and has consistently proven his worthiness throughout the series, especially in the first three seasons.
As a completely self-centered character, House has been often compared to Sherlock Holmes, and the connection is completely intentional. Both characters are geniuses and both characters have addictions. Both characters confide in close friends (Wilson/Watson), and both characters have the address of 221B. Name references to characters such as Moriarty and Irene Adler are thrown around, making the connection all the more obvious.

Like Holmes, House has great intelligence, and often is able to tell a lot about people simply by looking at them (in one instance, he diagnosed a waiting room full of patients on his way out the door).

However, House is also a very sad character. Aside from Wilson, he is unable to build any lasting relationships, though he does have an interest in Lisa Cuddy, the hospital administrator. The child of an abusive father, House walks with a cane after an infarction of the quadriceps muscle in his leg. This muscle was removed, though it caused him to experience pain, leading him to develop an addiction to the painkiller Vicodin, leading him to brushes with the law and eventually hallucinations. House supposedly conquered this addiction in the season six premiere, "Broken."

House, like our number #6, Ari Gold, has plenty of biting insults at his command. He has a disdain for everyone, citing his mantra, "Everybody lies." However, despite this, House is very reliant on people, especially Wilson, who often helps House during low moments in his life. House, in turn, helps Wilson during such moments, such as giving Wilson a place to stay during Wilson's divorce. Cuddy has often saved House from punishment, when urging the hospital board to stand up to Edward Vogler, and when committing perjury during House's hearing.

House has proven to be one of the most complex and interesting characters ever to appear on television, and is certainly the best character that the aughts have introduced. It's a pity that he hasn't been given better material to work with, but at least he is one of the most recognizable faces in the entertainment industry today.
