There have been many medical dramas over the years, and one of the best was “House.” The show was about Dr. Gregory House. He’s an incredible physician who solved medical mysteries every week, but he had a very strong personality filled with brutal honesty and antisocial, prickly comments. Basically, he was a guy that was hard to be around, even though he was a genius. The program was an instant hit, and fans watched it week after week to see what Dr. House would say next. There are many fascinating episodes of this medical show, and today we will talk about the best episodes of “House.”
Major fans of the show may have a hard time picking out their very favorite episodes, but a number of them certainly stick out from the pack. For instance, one of the best was the one called “House’s Head” in season four, where the doctor is involved in a bus accident and must reclaim his memory to save a young patient. There’s also the series finale episode, where House is helping a patient with addiction problems and needs to make some tough decisions. And, of course, who could forget the episode called “No Reason,” where an old patient shoots House, and after being in a coma for a few days, he wakes up with the shooter in the same room.
The point is that this was an amazing medical drama with many twists and turns. We hope that this list will provide a nice walk down memory lane. No doubt, you’ll be re-streaming the episodes real soon. (If you want to learn about other great shows we miss dearly, check out our list of the TV shows we wish would come back.)
