House.

I used to watch House M.D. all the time. I thought it was awesome. I thought the episode where he goes to the SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERHGUFDSHGJKFHSGJ mental hospital was awesome. I thought, "He is going to change!"

Nope. Still a jerk and still a genius...minus the vicadin. What's fun about that?

I have calculated a formula for a typical House episode.

Cuddy: "House, I put you on a case for a runny nose."
House: "Normal. Send them to the clinic."
Cuddy: "But this patient's mucus is PURPLE!"
House: "Okay."

-to the brainstorm room!-

House: "Ideas."
Cameron (or 13): "MAYBE IT'S AUTO-IMMUNE."
House: "No."
Foreman: "MAYBE IT'S LUPUS."
House: "No."

-Lots of tests!-

Wilson: "Has it ever occurred to you that I pack my own lunch for me?"
House: "No."

-Patient defibs! More tests!-

House: "I've never seen this before."
Team: "What do we do?"

-House throws a ball against the wall or harasses Cuddy.-

House: "I've got it!"

-Obscure metaphor!-


It WAS auto-immune!
