House season 7 starts in just a few weeks and judging by the promos, the tagline "Love/sick.", as well as the summary for the season opening episode have made me cringe and decide not to tune in. When I started watching House it was probably one of the boldest shows on television and I could never have imagined it would sink to the hotchpotch mess of the past few seasons. Still, I remained a loyal viewer for the sole reason of Hugh Laurie's brilliant portrayal of House, but even that no longer seems to keep me interested. The story lost any idea of going somewhere a long time ago and the writer have sunk to the level of just delivering fan service these days, House as a character has become a caricature of the quirky genius from the early seasons, but the main issue I have with the show is it's terrible attempt at becoming a multi-character drama like Mad Men, with the result reminding me of some bad soap opera. House used to be my favorite show when I first started watching it and it really saddens me to see such a decrease in quality but at the same time I finally feel that now is the time to move on. There are better shows to watch out there and I'm no longer wasting my time for old-times sake.

At least we'll always have fond memories of the first few brilliant seasons. And Albania.
Yeah, the show sucks and we're poo' but at least we have each other (in Albania). =)
In the end, that's what really matters. *gazes at you w/lovesick puppy eyes as you bargain potato prices* <3
