I liked the show House. It was funny. His comments. It made me laugh. It was a good show, I even tivo'd it. Now, ooo, House has a self destructive problem, thats what they show in the previews. Oooo, lets make the show not fun anymore.

    try 24, Jack Bauer's wife adn unborn baby have died, he has nearly lost his daughter numerous times, seen all his girlfirends since die or get put in mortal danger, had to chop off his daughters boyfriends arm, shoot his boss as blackmail, had a heroin addiction, have the Chinese embassy and 'powers that be' want him dead or captured, pretend to die and go into hiding, and now see his closest friends killed - all in seven years and he's still the same alpha male he always was, only slightly older with less hair.

    It isnt a comedy, it is a serious drama and has always been...It is only suppose to be a little funny and a lot serious.

    I know what you mean. Like on all these detective shows where not only is the detective trying to solve a murder but is also divorcing from his wife, having a custody battle, and is an alcoholic.

    I think the point is to make it more like real life. Kinda like the movie Crash. There's not just one thing in our lives, and sometimes we cross paths.
