House M.D. Confuses Me
The show gets so much praise in TV critic circles but all I see is a pretty average procedural with a main character who the show clearly thinks is an antihero, but is basically just a bigot.
I’m currently in the middle of the first episode to directly show Thirteen’s bisexuality. And of course it’s complete of gross cliches, stereotypes and Residence leering like a teenage boy over the idea of two women having sex. A previous episode featured a patient who was a gay guy living with HIV. He was every bad stereotype in one poorly drawn character - difficult partying, drug taking, casual sex having, condom averse - and House used every opportunity he had to produce offensive gay jokes at his expense.
House is a racist and a homophobe, he treats women like shit and makes anti-semitic remarks towards his Jewish colleague. Yet the show frames him as the hero, as the guy who we’re all supposed to be rooting for. It frames his bigotry as not just something which is excused because of his supposed genius, but as something we should howl at, as an entertaining character quirk which shows how “no nonsense” he is.
I have a enormous amount of respect for shows which do

Me: In S6 E15, “Black Hole” House tells Wilson to buy furniture for their shared condo and after Wilson has a decorator pick all the furniture for him House returns it and tells Wilson to pick something himself, one single piece of furniture which says something about him. Wilson agonises over this, spending a whole day trying to find something and then bemoaning his inability to do so to Cuddy, who tells him it says more about him that he’s letting Dwelling make him think this much about it. In the end he pays another decorator to furnish the condo, but does pick out one thing for himself....... For Dwelling. He buys House an organ piano, Wilson cannot play the piano himself and bought it specifically for House, admitting to himself, House and the audience that Cuddy was right; Wilson defines himself by his relationship to House and wants Property to know this, and House accepts it as Wilson having picked that to be the thing Wilson wants to utter about himself, it’s as good as a marriage proposal, And in this essay I will
House and Schrödinger’s Queerbait
I’m pretty confident in saying that House changed my life.
A bit uninspiringly, House didn’t change my being with any life lessons. What changed my experience was House and Wilson’s dynamic, and its undeniable gay subtext.
Is it queerbait? Queerbait is defined as cis, straight creators manufacturing a relationship between two people of the similar gender that seems to be going beyond friendship as a way to attract an LGBT audience, but never committing to it, as it would alienate the cis, unbent part of their audience.
There were plenty of direct cis people involved in the creation of Residence and Wilson’s dynamic, which never goes anywhere beyond two dysfunctional best friends But there are also two writers, Liz Freidman and Sara Hess, both of whom are women-loving women and who wrote some of the most subtext-heavy episodes in House. The actor who played Dwelling, Hugh Laurie, spoke favorably of a romantic translation, and one of the producers, Katie Jacobs, was known in the LiveJournal days as the patron saint of House/Wilson.
So what happened there? Was it all a ploy to attract a ga
Overview
A Sherlock Holmes analog, Dr. Gregory House solves medical mysteries while being an unrepentant pill-popping pain in the ass of pretty much everyone. He plays thought games with colleagues and patients alike, including his best friend, oncologist James Wilson. You can call him acerbic or brutally trustworthy, but the reality is he’s a narcissistic asshole.
He’d probably have been fired earlier but the reason he limps is because of his boss, and god damn it, he’s almost always right. It’s never lupus, after all.
