Anytime. House is right alongside Star Trek for me (in my level of obsession) but I don't get to talk about it as much.

I absolutely loved House - to the point of distraction - because I identified so strongly with Hugh Laurie’s character. Having myself a tendency in that direction (which I’ve worked, with intermediate success, to overcome), it was very easy so see the world through his eyes.

I even really liked the repeating theme of his always being wholly confident that his initial diagnosis is 100% right, then being proven wrong and being full in on his secondary being right, and finally having his third being right is very very familiar from my own career.
