Yeah, I feel like House (the show) has really suffered in so many ways. It's honestly brutal. I mean first, what you said: it got bad. Plus, as an adjunct of the "it got bad" point - it took the character of House to a place where, as viewers, we had to either completely ignore the stunningly psycho thing he'd done, or lose all respect for him (or bend over backwards trying to make excuses for him, I guess, but man I am NOT that stretchy). Which will forever make me wonder what the fuck the writers were thinking.

But in addition to that, I think we (the collective we of the audience) tend to forget how striking and interesting and honestly pretty well-written the character of House was at the time. I mean, he was so striking and interesting that by the end of S1, every other network figured they needed their own SIX versions of House, which they proceeded to pump out for the next decade - each one shittier and more tedious and self-indulgent than the last - until by the end most of us couldn't remember that the "acerbic, equal-opportunity misanthropic genius who's privately sad and lost" had ever been even a little bit good. But I honestly think House was a good character, in the beginning. I remember thinking it then, and I think if I could go back with fresh eyes - forget about all the copies ,and copies of copies, and the things that characters like him came to represent over time - I think I'd still think he was a good character.

well said. bizarrely enough about the only character who I thought captured "acerbic, equal-opportunity misanthropic genius who's privately sad and lost" decently after House is Rick Sanchez!

I haven't seen Rick and Morty, but I will take your word for it.

Funnily enough, the best example of this character type I've ever seen is also a cartoon - but in my case it's Bojack Horseman. That said, Bojack is this character type but without any of the romanticizing or making excuses for him. So it's not nearly as fun to watch, the narrative isn't generally on his side, and the viewer is unlike to want to fuck him. :P
