Do any of you guys still watch House? I assume everyone watched House at SOME point, because I did, and everybody does the same things* as me, right? RIGHT? Well if any of you still watch it, first of all, did House ever fix his hurty leg? Second of all, get ready to get SAAAAADDD! Check out this joint statement from House executive producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs, and also Hugh Laurie:
After much deliberation, the producers of House M.D. have decided that this season of the show, the eighth, should be the last. By April this year they will have completed 177 episodes, which is about 175 more than anyone expected back in 2004.
The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years — but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved.
The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party. How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.
Nooooooo! The music stopped such a long time ago, I feel like, just bring him back so we can keep him in silence foreverrrrrrrrrrrr! Obviously this is heartbreaking news, not only to anyone who still watches House, but also to anyone who even knew that it was still on TV and hadn’t ended at least two seasons ago. What’re we gonna do without it?! Huh?! Well, I’ll TELL you what we’re gonna do about it! We’re gonna keep the plot going! RIGHT HERE!
I don’t actually know where the plot’s at right now, so if any of this doesn’t make sense, WHY WERE YOU STILL WATCHING HOUSE?
- When Dr. House turns 65 years old, he finally figures out a way to fix his bad leg. It’s a very experimental way that he isn’t sure will cure his leg, but if he doesn’t do it his leg is going to stay hurty and gross and decomposed looking, so he does it. It works for a bit of time.
- When Dr. House is 68 years old, the leg starts to get bad again. “God dangit,” he thinks. “Why the heck can’t I fix this dang leg?”
- It’s ok, though, because he is in love with a beautiful new lady who works at the hospital that is now named “House Hospital” after House gave it a very generous donation after House inherited a lot of money. He is mean to the lady at first, and she doesn’t know who he is at first so she is mean back to him, and that’s how they fall in love.
- House got lots of dogs and cats and now they’re all over his apartment.
- House isn’t so grumpy anymore now that he has the dogs, cats, and the new lady. He kind of gets that life is what you make it, and he doesn’t want to make it so angry anymore.
- Now when he thinks a patient is lying to him he looks at them and gives them a Larry David stare. They crack up every time and tell him the truth.
- At the age of 75, House gets very sick but he can’t figure out what it is.
- He goes to the blonde doctor who used to work for him. “What do I have,” he asks. The blonde doctor tells him he has lupus and they have a good laugh, because of the thing House always used to say about lupus.
- But really the blonde doctor doesn’t know what he has and House dies a little bit later. No one ever knows why, but it is very sad. He is still very handsome when he dies.
- Then you think the series is over.
- But then House is a ghost doctor in Heaven!
Wonderful, very good. Lots of new areas to explore in there. Very dumb idea for those guys to stop making this show and make us continue it forever by ourselves. (Via The Hollywood Reporter.)
*I would actually rent House DVDs from my school’s library and watch like all the episodes right in a row. College was pretty crazy, huh.

I think that House should find out he is really part of the British royal family, which makes him much happier and sillier. And the doctors can all leave, and Rowan Atkinson will come on as House’s servant or nephew or something, who is smart but a jerk (House is not a jerk anymore. Just go with it.) There should be another character. He can be called Baldrick.
That’s a plan so cunning, you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel.
Does it involve a time machine and the British monarchy?
Shortly after settling into this new reality, House finds an astonishing, yet confusing, pair of trousers. He spends the better part of an episode tying to get them on.
This show was really convenient, because during pretend time I could play doctor and I could play house at the same time.
OH! Ohohohoh! Can Hugh maybe get back with Steven Fry now! And maybe make some more Jeeves and Wooster shows! Or some Fry and Laurie episodes?!
I’m sure House was a great show though, so I’m trying not to let my excitement show since I know there might be some sad people around. It’s just. … House was always kindof their Yoko Ono in my mind.
Let’s Ask Jeeves if they can do that!
House is definitely gonna die, right? I mean, can we all agree that there is absolutely no satisfying way that show could end that involves House still being alive?
I think it will end with a giant bus crash/car driven through a house (by House, natch) crash and everyone dies, but House limps away, whistling You Can’t Always Get What You Want while gobbling down vicodin.
That’s the other option. Either House dies or EVERYBODY ELSE does. And then, with nobody left to care for him and his bad leg, House is put into a nursing home, where he meets equally curmudgeonly roommate, an elderly man by the name of…DON DRAPER.
I just got chills reading that.
I think they did that episode already..
Of course he must die. Perhaps you recall the entertainment term “meat explosion”?
I feel like they should pull a Community and admit that House and Wilson have been doing it all along, but instead of quitting now that it’s out they will become life partners (in practice and in love).
I never forgave this show for not being this:
Cuddy came into my starbucks one time
PAUSE. Haha, right? Pause, haha! Sex talk.
No way House, MD goes to heaven. I haven’t watched since season 3 but I this I know. He’ll be Lucifer’s personal physician.
Also, I take as much Vicodin as House, MD which is why I can’t form thoughts properly.
Whats that episode of House where someone has a mysterious illness, and they are totally wrong about what it is, and House gets mad at everybody, but then at the last moment something conveniently inspires him to properly diagnose the disease?
It’s the one with vicodin.
Season 4, Episode 3, “The House Always Gins”
when i watched it, the best part of House was when they had their diagnosis and were so sure of it, but then I’d look at the clock and know that there was still 30 minutes to go, so of course this wasn’t the right one.
I think the best finale would be where they actually cure the person the first time, then have a dance party for the last 45 minutes. and stephen fry shows up for a bit.
Stephen Fry plays a doctor on Bones from time to time. Finale crossover?
