"House," the medical drama that has also been a character study of a misanthropic genius doctor played wonderfully by Hugh Laurie, is coming to a close Monday, May 21 after eight seasons. Zap2it would like to take a look back at the strongest episodes of the series.
It was hard to narrow down, indeed. The show has always been fairly strong, with individual episodes that we'd put right up there with the best of any show. But here are the ones that made the cut.
"Three Stories," S1, E21
The first season of "House" was fine - but the show really took off with "Three Stories." House gives a lecture to a class of medical students, recounting three different leg injuries. Carmen Electra gives a rather delightful guest-starring turn and the viewers finally find out why Dr. House has his limp.
"No Reason" - S2, E24
In the first of many solid season finales, House is shot in his office, which cause House to have to not only trust his team to solve the Case of the Week, but try to figure out what is reality and what is fiction. It doesn't sound nearly as good here as it was on TV, but trust us - it's a good one.
"Son of Coma Guy" - S3, E7
House brings coma guy (an awesome guest casting of John Larroquette) out of his vegetative state in order to find out about the family history so he can treat coma guy's son. Not one of "House's" milestone episodes, but a quietly good offering and a fun buddy adventure for Laurie and Laroquette.
The beginning of Season 4
It's hard to pick just one episode, but after House fires his team at the end of Season 3, Season 4 begins with a multi-episode arc that sees House picking a new team via a "Survivor"-like competition. There are very few shows that could essentially get rid of three of the main characters (even if for just some time) and be completely reinvigorated.
"Frozen" - S4, E11
For the juicy post-Super Bowl slot, "House" brought in Mira Sorvino as a psychiatrist trapped at the South Pole who becomes ill. House must walk her through treating herself via webcam, as she and Dr. House have a bit of a long-distance spark.
