“Everything that comes up, must come down,” as Newton warned us, and the same is true in the world of entertainment. Hollywood has seen its fair share of failed shows and movies, but none ended quite the same way in value as the T.V. show, “House M.D.” The term “jumping the shark” fits this flop after one event pushed the show overboard. When a drug addicted and emotionally unstable Dr. House drove his car through his lover’s house, I just couldn’t stand to watch the show anymore. Dr. House went too far when he did that, and endangering Dr. Cuddy and her child was unacceptable.
During the first few seasons of Fox’s show “House M.D,” it hit some of the top charts. The interesting drama of a handicapped doctor with attitude and witty sarcasm was one that had people captivated. Watching as his cases unfolded, how his treatment and diagnosis were sometimes unorthodox, keep many entertained. I was one of many viewers who could not wait until the new show aired, until it hit a rock.
It is hard to watch a good show struggle and fall, but that’s exactly what happened to this show. When House insanely drove his car through that house, it was the final straw for me for he just would not accept anything good that came his way. Despite his cold demeanor, happiness kept creeping into his life, and time after time he did something to mess it all up. A person cannot go on living forever in melancholy and solitude. I got so tired and frustrated watching House throw away all hopes of happiness, that I just couldn’t take it anymore. After the episode with the car, I stopped watching the show, for I was so annoyed that House refused to let anything that brought his joy into his life.
