House has turned into a soap opera, a boring soap opera!

They should have stuck with the same three members of the team. Their interaction and subtle feelings made it much more enjoyable without all that messing around with romance, ugly and uninteresting new team and the broken relationship with Wilson.

It is literally a tragedy that you're now entering the genre of all the other medical shows. It was perfect the way it was with the 6 main people and what happens to a patient with House and his interesting old team.

I would tend to agree with you Bubba. It took me awhile to get used to the new dynamic of the show what with the new team and all, but it did grow on me. As a matter of fact I think the last 2 episodes of this season were my favorites of the entire series thus far. It is kind of a shame that Cameron and Chase have been delegated to the background this year, but overall I think the show is still good. I am interested in seeing what happens to House and Wilson's friendship next season.

Yea well change is.
Though I miss the old team, I think the new team has potential

I don't dislike the new team speciallly I like Amber, but she is dead and for me the show is not the same. The energy and tone are not the same. I hope that they don't kill the magic of house.

I was getting really tired of the old team, and welcome the change. They had done what they could with the characters and their backstories, and it would've had to go all ER to move any farther with them. I just hope they dont Cameronize 13, she's a good character in her own right, and doesn't need the sanctimonious piety of Cameron

I wouldnt say house stinks now, granted it IS a little slow, and soap opera-ish. But i think the new team is refreshing, and no matter how much i love the old team, the new team does have some chemimstry. Especially number thirteen and house, gotta love that. But the old team is still some what there, they are in episodes so they havent COMPLETELY left, again, of course youre gonna miss them and want them back they are the ORIGINAL house team lol, but you have to give the newbs a chance.
XD
But idk, thats my opinion.

How did Amber get fired? I missed that one...

IDK, but I still love HOUSE. I love all of the episodes. My favorites so far are "House's Head" and "Wilson's Heart". I am looking forward to a new season. I did love the old people, but I am learning to like the new also. They do need to change it up or we will get bored with the same-old, same-old. So, we'll just have to wait and see what a new season brings.

I'm with everyone else about the new crew. I don't think she (amber)was fired. I think he didn't select her during the interview process. Which he still referred to her as the bitch. LOL

I just can't wait for the new season, the new team has potentials alright they are better than the old team, I just don't know what to expect with the new season , will the old team and new team combine ?

I love the show as long as house is an arrogant ass dealing with his fight against himself I'll watch. As a cystic fibrosis patient studying to be a psychologist I deal with some similar inner termoil .. at least now I can laugh at myself easier.

I much prefer the old team to the new. I like Kutner, but find him completely unbelievable as a doctor, and Thirteen is a horribly miscast joke. It's not enough to be "hot" as David Shore seems to find her; this is not "The OC." Nothing about her says "doctor" to me, and she needs to find another expression to go with "blank." The writers have been shoving her "mystery" at us for 15 episodes and I'm still uninterested and unimpressed. Tossing aside two attractive, charismatic, and talented actors (Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer) to push this new crew forward is sad. I think the Powers That Be at House were very surprised to find they had such a large and ardent fan base.

There was no need to make this drastic a change. The ratings had been increasing every year, which means people liked what they were seeing. (The ratings did NOT increase this year - they went down.) I've seen a lot of complaints about the new team and Season 4, including some from very well respected TV critics such as TV Guide's Matt Roush. I think that anytime the old team interacts with the new, the old team commands my attention and interest. They light up the screen; I have to force myself not to channel surf when the new team is on the screen alone. The newbies have NO chemistry, in my opinion. They look like what they are - ACTORS. Not doctors.

Changes could have been made gradually; drastically changing the dynamics of the cast alienated a lot of people, including me. I've still been watching, hoping for Chase and Cameron to return to normal, and for House to return to his character from the first two seasons. He used to put the medicine first, he used to be introspective; last season he seemed more like a one-joke character, and a dirty joke at that. The season finale was exciting and well-acted, but look at all the incredible - and unbelievable - things that happened! House died - twice, in fact - yet continued to diagnose after a concussion and heart attack. He also has a deep brain probe, which kills him again. Cuddy turns stripper, Chase adds another talent - now he knows how to hypnotize people! - and Amber dies in a gut-wrenching scene. Thirteen discovers she has a fatal disease (which I couldn't care less about) and the friendship between House and Wilson is ripped apart.

The white bus scene gave me hope that the upcoming season will be better, as House finally turned introspective and forced to examine the his own actions and guilt. THAT'S what I've been missing. I hope we truly get to see House trying to face the consequences of behavior. I hope we see more Chase and Cameron, and much less Thirteen, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
