Season 8 Might be the Last for House MD

Hmmm...
 
I love this show. Mostly because of the clever dialogue and realistic (male) actors. Some of the dialogues is just brilliant; which exist in almost every episode. I really appreciate the effort put in by the writers. The series seems to survive the writers strike which dampened other TV series.

Now the producers are seriously considering to end the show. For me, the news isn't that surprising since the series have maintained the same original creator from season 1.

The series had always been strong, and if they decided to end it at the same level, season 8 would be the right time. it seems that all possible relationship had been explored. I couldn't see how they can keep the series entertaining beyond the next (8th). I suspect if the series is to end, it would involve the death of  at least one of its characters.

I have to admit that season 1 to 3 is quite slow but interesting nonetheless. For me season 4 is where the fun begins. With fresh faces and a more dynamic storytelling. Secrets are cleverly revealed at interventions keeping the story engaging. Since the very beginning, there never been a prolonged relationship. Which I like. The tragedy allows its characters to be elaborated further while dealing with their break up. From the look of it, the medical profession would lead to an unhealthy spiritual life (only based on whats presented in the series!).

SPOILER ALERT!
 
Finally, at the end of season 6, there's the ultimate relationship that is the beginning of the end. I know once House and Cuddy got together, the end was in sight. Although the timing was right for the relationship to happen, the series could never turn back. The producers have played their trump card.

Now Lisa Edelstein has decided not to return for House’s "final" season. However we can expect her to feature in some of the episodes.

If this news proven to be true, its the right decision.
