That was a nice article. While i wouldn't retcon it, i can see your point(s). It's a great show regardless, and i'm glad to see other people enjoy it as much as i do.

How about retcon it so that it never existed?

Worst TV Show I've ever seen...I'm baffled how anyone finds it entertaining.

How about retconning The Big Bang Theory... so that this world never existed?

Whoa, i happen to like this world!

Retconning it still doesn't change the fact that every episode is the same. Really it is like "Murder She Wrote" or "Matlock" in regards to plot depth. If you have seen one episode of house you have seen them all, I think Dean Koontz has actually had more original plots.

While I can see some of the points I think the article glosses over some of the events/plotslines in the show:

Kutner died for NO reason, that we as an audience were privy to. Not a preposterous reason. Having a mystery that House could not solve (and Kutners "cameo" later on with Amber) was a pivitol part in house going to the psycho ward. And considering where the actor was going (working for Obama), it was a good way to get rid of the character in a shocking way while portraying a serious issue in a realistic way.

Amber and Wilson was a pretty big continuing plot line that got 2 lines in the article. Even before death Amber affected House and her "return" later on made for great episodes. And in between the strained relationship between House and Wilson made for good TV.

Houses reality show in season 4 lasted much longer then a "few" episodes. It seemed to take half the season. The big group might have only lasted a few but the narrowing down to 3 took much longer.

I love House and the directions it took so opinions on importance of above plotlines will differ. I agree that the shift from old minions to new minions to old minions to new again could of been handled better, and 13 and Forman was not needed, but generally the show has still been a A show for me.
