House (Fox)

This is a great tv series to watch for older kids. There are a bunch of sexual jokes, and some nudity. House isn't a good role model. He lies and is rude, but saves people lives.

Perhaps my favorite show. I began watching it for the first time when I was 13. Yes...perhaps a bit young in some eyes for watching House down Vicodin or as the main case of the episode has a unexplained seizure. It wasn't until I hit high school though that I fell in love with the show. It's literally a crime mystery put in a pair of scrubs. I'm a really big fan of learning human psychology and understanding how people think, which makes not only Dr.House but the majority of his cases and colleagues excellent subjects. I love the continuity of the show and the almost perpetual jerk-ness of House that makes every scarce moment of humanity in him that is exposed cherished. Occasionally they bring up real world politics or current affairs that gives the show a sense of realism. This show has made Hugh Laurie one of my favorite actors and celebrities, I was astonished to find out he's actually English. I have never seen someone fake an American accent so flawlessly. Every episode seems to have this sense of deep insight on the morality of humans that draws people in. Not for people who are easily insulted by some of House's behavior nor those squeamish to surgery/blood/organs...well you get the idea. Occasionally I will recognize a med. term they use and I get a real kick out of it when I do, otherwise the terms are only to be understood by someone who is either in the medical field or takes Latin. Regardless, this show can be enjoyed anywhere from mature tweens and up. I highly recommend giving it a shot.

House is one of the best shows ever. Very interesting and very real. and amazing. It's a medical mystery, each episode is a puzzle. The main character, House, is a jerk and a drug addict, but he is a genius doctor and he is funny and his witty remarks are hilarious but he is not a great role model for younger children. Also some of the diseases can be graphic however that sort of thing doesn't bother me personally. Good for teenagers. My favorite series ever!

Thinking about it, I don't really understand how the show could be so popular. I mean, they throw out all of these medical terms regularly that very few of the watchers probably understand. Somehow, the show still manages to be amazing. There is 'violence' but why mark it as a concern? It's a HOSPITAL! What do you expect there to be? Magical unicorns that skip around making everyone magically better? There will be symptoms, and they will not be pleasant. Just as in real life. House can be... interesting... in what he says. Especially about and to Cuddy. Cuddy is a very good role model along with Wilson (for the most part). I wouldn't let younger kids watch it nor would I let boys from 0-13 watch it because they'd just turn in to miniature, even more disturbing Houses.

I think this show is good and entertaining to watch. Actors are good. The show is humorous.

House isn't meant to be a show that is centered on teaching the noblility of practicing medicine. It centers around an egotistical, bitter man who can be a bit sexist at times, and his team of proctologists who reluctantly follow his lead. He's not meant to be likeable; he's not meant to be entirely stable. Thus his dependency on drugs, and, if you would go so far as to mention it, metaphorically. (his limp.) However, Dr. House is portrayed as an excellent doctor who gets things done in a dramatic and sarcastic style. If you're someone who's watching the show, you should get that he's bending the rules. That's what makes the show. (Well, aside from the mentionings of their personal lives, which really isn't all that interesting after awhile.) So long as your kid doesn't end up wanting to rebel against authority because Dr. House does, it should be fine to show to kids around my age.

It's a great show, particularly because of Hugh Laurie playing the titular character, but it's gotten darker in this past season, especially when House cut into his own leg to remove tumors from it. I almost wanted to turn it off. Sex is mostly referenced for diagnostic purposes or House's sexist but obviously rude comments, but this past season, House got together with Cuddy, and plenty of innuendo-filled conversations followed. Language is typical of a primetime drama: a little salty, but nothing like cable. Drugs, well, it is a medical drama, but House himself has been on Vicodin and other drugs to ease his pain, and the danger of this pops up often. Overall, it is a fantastic show, but I wish it would go back to its humor and the clinic patients, so the series finale can end on a fantastic note, instead of jumping the shark.

Love House I allways try to not to miss it but when I do I get mad , I love Hugh lowry hes so funny in this show He also reminds me of me becuase I'm really sarcastic if you havnt ever watched HOUSE shame on you, Ur missing a really good show

Let's just admit it. Hugh Laurie is amazing, and so is the character Gregory House. However, this series contains too many negative messages and not enough positive. Though some of the storylines can be moving, constant mentionings of sex, alcohol, etc are NOT for kids and tweens, and iffy for teens. My mom won't let me watch this anymore, and though it pains me to be separated from the theatrical Dr. House, I have to agree with her.
