It has possibilities. They said they're going back to basics & "solving medical mysteries" and it seems like they're doing that. And I adored Park, the new team, member last week. She handles him really well.
I hate Foreman. I mean I really hate him. Since Season 3. Since then he's killed a patient through arrogance, been fired from Mercy Hospital and blackballed from just about every hospital on the Eastern Seaboard. With Thirteen, he had an affair with a patient (he maneuvered her into being his patient to make her grateful to him and lied to her when she called him on it), falsified a medical study, blinding her in the process and, when he got promoted, he fired her not because of her ability as a doctor but so that she could be at home, waiting for him, to stroke his ego when things went badly at work. And this is the 4th time they've had House report to him.
Really glad they made him Dean of Medicine. (I understand they needed someone who would fight to get House back in the hospital and then fight with House but that doesn't make me like it.)
But Hugh Laurie is back in my living room every week as is Robert Sean Leonard. Jesse Spencer will be back after 2 more episodes. And I like the new doc. So there are possibilities.
