They dont need to spice things up, the show is excellent as it is. The last major overhaul they did was replacing the original diagnostic team. Now, it is already as excellent as it is.

They need to add Harold, so Harold and Kummar can get stoned in the middle of each episode
Another great episode. Too bad the season's over.
Every week the episodes seem to get better and better and it surprises me every single time. I ought to be used to it by now but I'm not. Fantastic episode to finish out the season. Brilliant way to set up the next season as well.
This show just keeps getting better and better.. I don't see how that's possible.
What a quality episode! How long is the break?
bloody hell
The last 3 episodes have been the best of the series for me.
Brilliant!
Brilliant!
House looked a completely broken man at the end. I would guess some part of next season will concentrate on his recovery. I would guess that, at least initially, he will not want to go back to his old work.
I have to say, all the episodes after kutner's death have been fecking quality!!! House is back to its best!!!
New episodes start September 2009.
Am I the only one who expected a little bit more? Especially after last season's finale.
Great, great show and Hugh Laurie is amazing. My favourite show on tv at the moment.
eh?
The last few episodes were absolutely brilliant. Every time you thought they'd explained something, it turns out they hadn't. Absolute quality for the finale to top it all off.
Brilliant episode.
House over, Lost over, Heroes over..
House over, Lost over, Heroes over..
Just watched the final 4 episodes of Season 5, how fecking good where they? When the fudge does Season 6 air? I agree with Top, final 3 episodes where the best of the entire series, brilliant TV. Absolutely brilliant! Hugh Laurie is amazing; was strange seeing House how he was at the end there.
My second favourite TV show behind 24.

This season ended VERY strongly. I absolutely love the writing on House, it's ridiculously good. I think the run of episodes since Kutners death have been as good as any series I've seen.
I think House may have had something to do with Kutner's death, and maybe that's why he was briefly brought back at the end, because he felt guilty? Like he did with Amber.
That's my prediction for Season 6, anyways. Can't wait.

Can't wait for season 6. Hugh Laurie is so good but I occasionally get a glimpse of Bertie Wooster which is very funny.
Just watched the season finale, absolutely amazing.
Didn't expect that to happen at all, the contrast between the wedding and House entering the psychiatric hospital was superbly done. fecking gutted for House though, what a character.

Hugh Laurie is on Jonathen Ross now.
On the contrary, for me. Those last five minutes of the finale single-handedly made it arguably the best episode of the whole series.
I can post in this thread now, hooray!
Finished Season 5 last night after starting the series from the beginning a few weeks ago. Great show, good finale. Season 4 has had the best finale so far though.

OK, just finished the fifth season. I just repeat what as already said....what a strong finish! Now I have to find a new show at least till September.
There's a website that dissects the medical aspect of each episode, google politedissent and doctor house, and you should get it, I'm not arsed now doing it, but it does great reviews. I think.
Not long until Season 6 now, can't wait, quick interview with David Shore below after House was nominated for an Emmy.

House Boss: "When Hugh Laurie Has a Note, You Listen"
Everybody's favorite grinchy genius is coming back to the Emmy Awards!
House the series was nominated for Best Drama, and the great Hugh Laurie got his fourth straight nomination for Outstanding Drama Actor.
We just caught up with House boss David Shore, and he told us the secret to the show's nomination streak, and he spilled some juicy deets on season six, including what House's time in the loony bin does to the genius's delicate and very important brain...
So what specifically earned House a nomination this year? "I think people were just in the habit of voting for us; it's been four years," said Shore. (Hey, folks, that right there is what we call charming and refreshing honesty!) Still, Shore said, "I wish the crew had gotten a few more individual nominations, but it's really important to all of us that this be recognized as a good show. It's just a thrill to be recognized for that." Nonetheless, if there is a secret to Emmy nominations, he's not telling the likes of us, "Because I'd just do it again next year."
As for the star of the show, Shore credits Laurie with being not just a genius but also damn economical in this tough recession climate: "He's just an incredibly talented actor who frees us up as writers and frees up, I would say, every single department, because whatever you ask that man to do, he delivers, and he delivers it brilliantly. He understands this character as well as anybody does. When Hugh Laurie has a note, you listen, because he gets it. He's as passionate about this show as anybody else is and that makes him a pleasure to work with." We never get tired of people saying nice things about Hugh Laurie. We've cruelly kidnapped him from his home in England, and while we keep him prisoner here in the States, the least we can do is treat him kindly.
Now, on with the show: Season six is underway, and Shore told us all about what to expect when the series returns on Sept. 21 to Fox. According to Shore: "We're starting the season with a two-hour House movie directed by [executive producer] Katie Jacobs—it's going to be great. Those two hours take place basically exclusively within the institution."
Will therapy, medication and exposure to fellow crazy people do House any good? "The implementation of that and the success of that is a very open question," said Shore. "House is not turning into a different human being—I say this reassuringly to the audience—he is the same human being, who is perhaps more aggressively trying to make a better life for himself." Will any of that stick? Can House really change for the better? Said Shore, "I think that he's incredibly self-aware, but he has many masters, internally, that he has to serve."
Then, once House makes his way home again, Shore said, "We then go back to more typical episodes—I hate to use that word typical—but we're following up on House getting his license back."
But that transition is not going to be easy. According to Shore, "We want to be honest about this; we want to follow through on what happens to House in an honest way. [The story is what] involvement he does have [in the hospital] and how anxious he is to get back and how we can keep him involved. Certainly, if you've got a genius like that, whether he's licensed or not, you're going to listen to what he has to say." We suspect Dr. Cuddy has something to do with that. The woman cannot get enough of Greg House, even if he did hallucinate and tell.

Season 6 starts Monday, looking forward to it!
Can't wait, Season 5 ending was crazy! And the Season 6 premier looks like it can only get better, if that's even possible for this show.
2 hours of House.
I didn't realise it was coming back on Monday. Will make for an epic night...2 hours of House.
Cuddy as fit as ever.
Starts in 10 min. Oh yeah...
Downloading the episodes now.
Anyone watch the opening episodes? What did you think?

Disappointing. Should get better next week though.
I liked it. Not that many laughs, but it was quite emotional and fitted well with the recovering theme.
Expected him to stay there longer than he did, but makes sense.
Good episode, it was never going to be a standard one considering the circumstances.

I liked it, was a funny first half hour then got more serious. Can't wait for next week.
Did you just finish watching it at the exact same time as me Addis? 
Thought it was a good double bill. Kind of disappointed he didn't stay in the hospital longer if I'm being honest, but I'm sure the rest of the season will be great regardless.
