My sincere apologies It was not my intention to offend since I absolutely agree that private lives should be off limits. It's just in this case it seems like it could very well be the elephant in the room! Maybe it's not the "whys" but the "hows". HMMMM, where have I heard that before? Anyway, thanks for your perspective. I can honestly say I agree in entirety with your take on House, as it was, and as it is. I'm not a "Huddy", just a somewhat intelligent fan who like so many others, is left feeling worn out and insulted by the juvenile manipulations of Season Seven. I always knew House would end someday. I just never thought it would be anything like this. It's unfathomable that any longtime fan would have any interest in tuning into this train wreck next season. BTW, I love your style and sense of humor. Your essay made me laugh out loud more than once! Thanks.
