Known for his shock talk and his rocky walk, Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) has been TV’s top doc for four seasons, easily earning a slot at No. 62 on our list of the Top 100 TV Series of the last 25 years in the new EW 1000 issue. The gleeful misanthropist prides himself on his ability to solve arcane diagnostic puzzles without getting emotionally involved in the lives of his patients, but in the recent season 4 finale, "Wilson’s Heart," his detachment is sorely tested when he holds the life of one of his colleagues in his hands. This unusually poignant episode featured twists even longtime fans didn’t see coming. You can watch it in full below.
This is the seventh installment in EW.com’s selection of 10 great episodes of programs on our top 100 list. We’re streaming an episode from a different show every day, or you can watch the entire slate in one sitting at Hulu. The first half of the list is here; Part 2 is here.
Dear Popwatch,
I cannot watch Hulu. It is not available in Canada due to some stupid copyright law. I also assume that not everyone who reads this blog is American and so therefore not everyone can watch Hulu. Also…why do you keep posting this articles about watching this on Hulu or that. What happened to the articles on this blog that were about something other than just a link posted to a video. What happened to when Slezak and Whitney would actually write about popculture. This isn’t pop culture. This is pimping out a link to another website. Don’t you want people to stay on the blog actually have a discourse or would you rather we all peace out to Hulu and TidalTV?
damn you, house! every time i get ready to give up on it because it goes for looong stretches being nothing but the ultimate american fantasy of being able to do and say whatever you want and be a narcissistic ass, and always get away with it because you’re always right, they up and throw out something that suggests real character development. like this episode, which actually brought up the shocking idea that narcissism – in this case, house insisting someone come pick him up (dragging them out in the rain late at night for his own amusement!) rather than taking the bus himself – has real consequences…and the tease that they may actually bother exploring that next season, rather than everything reverting to the way it was in the next episode the way they usually do whenever house hits a turning point.
argh! curse you, house!
