House M.D. Article: Can we make it better?

posted by pietruszka

Hi guys!
Lately I saw a lot of peminat-peminat how aren't into the tunjuk so much as they used to be.
There is a lot of negative opinions about how Huddy started, about how it's handled (not against the whole relationship in general, only the way it's leaded sejak the TPTB), how much House changed (in "Pox in our House" he didn't wanted to look at the dead body, even if he was already infected).
People see that Cuddy has changed into hysteric teenager, even if the crew say they didn't.
One time, after an episode, one of the writers had to write blog with an explanation of the episode. I find that ridiculous. there are voices about the lack of interesting cases, about House, as a character, really give a damn, like he used to.
It's not the secret that there's the most controversy about House, Cuddy, and Wilson. They are main characters and they changed the lot. (In case of Cuddy, she even changes her age once a season...)
Episodes sometimes feels like taken out of the context (In "Lockdown" 13 tells Wilson to take his change with Sam, one episode after she's bashing this decision).
And, one of my Friends said, if anda still Cinta the tunjuk so much, why don't anda protest loudly? It happened before in the history of Televisyen and really made the situation better.
I think @ PCA this tahun the whole community has really shown what they can do! House, as the show, wonned everything there was to win.
How to do it?
At first, i think great way to start is Facebook group. This place really brings things like this together, I've heard case of the chocolate, who was brought again to the market after Facebook group asking for it.
Second, the most famous way is the petition.
Third, at all, there's a leader needed. Someone who will make us visible for fox and House crew. I know I'm not able to do that, but I'm hoping someone who reads it will.
And the last thing. WHY? The tunjuk is not going to last lebih than one year, probably, most of things is probably already planned...
I'll tell anda why. Don't anda want to say goodbye to our tunjuk in wonderful way, feeling fulfilled after 8 years? Enjoy every single episode that left? I'd Cinta to.

FAQ
Q: Is it about complaining about House in general?
A: Big part of us watch the tunjuk because they are used to it, not because they Cinta it like in seasons 1-4. There was the cases of the shows which went bad and after peminat-peminat pointed it out to the writers and creators, they got better. So I think that's what we should do!
So if anda Cinta the tunjuk the way it is and anda think story lines and characters are better than ever, don't take part in it.
It's not about bashing House in general - it's about the things that gotten worse. Also, it's not for people who hate everything about tunjuk now and want it to end, because it hurts so much. It's for the ones that believe IT MAY GET BETTER! Like old times.

Q: What can I do?
A: Spread the word. That's the must! Tell your friends, post it on livejournal, myspace, twitter, whatever anda can think of. Also, help us find some leader who will be able to make one group of us (ex. on facebook), bring us together and contact fox when we'll get enough people!

Q: There were a lot of petitions for bringing characters/ships back and they didn't work. Why this should?
A: It's not about the character, it's about the quality. We don't want to change storylines! We only want them to be shown to us with class, at they was in seasons 1-4.
There are a lot of opinions about the show, as much as the viewers. But if we'll sum it up in one, big opinion, they will have to do something about us. Ignore, accept, love, whatever. But we'll be visible.

pietruszka Please spare the word wherever you can!

huddyislove So, what, we should complain about House in general? I don't get it. :(

tammyr50 I think what she is saying is, this feels like the last season or at best one more. So we are finding a way to say goodbye and thank you. Just a huge "Thank You" Or we could ask for more seasons and let them know how much we love what they have given us.

pietruszka I mean that House lost a lot of fans of the way they are doing things. Fans aren't pleased by the way they are showing us House, Cuddy, Huddy, by the amount of Wilson and the way he acts. Big part of us watch the show because they are used to it, not because they love it like in seasons 1-4. there was the story of the shows which went bad and after fans pointed it out to the writers and creators, they got better. So I think that's what we should do! So if you love the show the way it is and you think story lines and characters are better than ever, don't take part in it. It's not about bashing House in general - it's about the things that gotten worse. Also, it's not for people who hate everything about show now and want it to end, because it hurts so much. It's for the ones that believe IT MAY GET BETTER! Like old times.

IlobeYou To me, that's enough! I really want to have more seasons. But ifthere is mission to be done , the crew is tired somehow , I accept ,I will be sad ,but accept it . To me, House is the best series I ever could see, until today.

salemslot A+ for the enthusiasm! But as a wise man once said, all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. [b]The show is what it is[/b], whether we like it or not. People have been coming and going since ever. Dozens of petitions have been manifested to bring back or eliminate characters without result which is a good thing. The show belongs to DS & Co, if this is how they want the shape of things to come on the show, it's how it will be. If the creators listened to us fans, the show wouldn't have appealed to all of us. Fans have been complaining since the Pilot that it would be cancelled which is our right to do but to think we have power over things on the show is wishful thinking even though certain things that happened in season 6 in a lot of ways disproves that. TPTB know what we fans think about the show. They do lurk in House communities all over the Internet. Twitter was a big opportunity for the creators to listen to our concerns but that went out of the window because we fans think we own the show and we are entitled to a lot of things and to the arrogance of certain producers. House MD is not NCIS or LOST where this course of actions would have succeded. The only thing we fans can do is what we always do: talk about the show in communities like this, exchange opinions in a civilised manner. You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might get what you need.

IlobeYou wow!!

MISAforever Finally someone!!! I couldn't agree more with this!! I loved this show.. it was my favorite. I dare to say it chaged my life, it showed me a really amazing side of medicine that I've never seen before. the way it's been developing is disappointing. I stopped watching it. Everyone is acting "out of character"; it's all about Huddy and romance. No more interesting medical cases.. And I am a fanatic Chameron fan, and I want Cameron back, But I also think that that's not the problem. The show has changed dramatically, not in a "bad" way, but in a way that it progresses into something that shouldn't. We have many more tb shows that deal with romance, love, trials and those stuff.. [H]ouse wasn't one of those shows and now it is.. It lost its peculiarity and I don't like that.. I support any kind of activity concerning this query. I'd love to do something more, but I'm not the person who will take all the initiative.

pietruszka Thank you MISA! Please, spread the word!

salemslot First of all, pietruszka, you need to ask people's permission if you are going to copy-paste their words elsewhere and if so, you can't select captions that suit yourself. About petitions, maybe I wasn't clear but I didn't mean character elimination strictly but in a wider spectrum, anything we think could bring quality to the show. Petitions, facebook groups go from one TPTB ear and out of the other like so many times in the past. That's what I meant. I'm not against the idea of the show getting better or whatever but this mean(way).

reebaila i'm with u , it could get better

misanthrope86 I'm in total agreement with salemslot. To be honest, and maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't see what point you are trying to make here... That we should just yell our opinions louder? Because I'm pretty sure we are an extremely loud bunch of fans. And I think people like Greg Yaitanes have been pretty accessible to fans lately. The great thing about the internet is that everybody can voice their opinions. And the bad thing about the internet is that everybody can voice their opinions. The problem with trying to mobilse a fanbase to be louder is that, inevitabley, certain groups of fans will be louder than others, and once a certain group of fans gets their wishes realised on the show, other groups of fans get angry and fan wars start and people stop watching the show. The Huddy arc is the perfect example of that. In my opinion, we have fallen into this rut in which we believe we have the right to influence how a show is made. We need to get out of that rut and let the makers of the show make the show. We have every right to express our opinions about the show, but we are not actually entitled to run it. The makers of the show can't please everyone all of the time. So I'm with salemslot: we should just continue watching the show and dicussing it critically. And I argue that we should all move away from that mentality that leads us to yell at the show's creators.

chameron4ever I think you're right Pietruszka, the show has changed too much and it's not a show of doctors, it's a soap opera that revolves around huddy and also does it the wrong way because as you said the characters behave in ways contrary to those who have been from the beginning, cases aren't important they are just an excuse to see house and cuddy kissing...I've been a huddy fan from the first day and always wanted to see them together but now I realize that it doesn't work, it makes no sense. I loved House MD since the very first day because it used to be eccentric and special but now it has become in a new version of Grey's Anatomy so I understand shows should evolve but this one has lost that "something" wich carried it to fame, House MD is not what it used to be before and all many fans are wanting is back to old days where the show was more pure than right now and more exciting I've said nothing about cameron left but that was what more hurt me since the beginning and though chameron was for me the most interesting on the show during whole time and now it isn't in I realized that House MD is not what it used to be what it should be yet and I watch it every week because I'm used to but I'm not hooked like I was the firsts years and maybe is true that we cannot do anything but I'm agree with you and I think we should try it because writers forgot what is House MD and they are used to see the show win eveything but it doen's win because it is really good...it wins because IT WAS THE BEST but not right now so I think we deserve see how the show gets back to the best (sorry for my english...I hope you understood me)

bluehue Nods in agreement...@salemslot..@misanthrope. "we should just continue watching the show and dicussing it critically. And I argue that we should all move away from that mentality that leads us to yell at the show's creators." Only to add..that I greatly value the artist or creator's freedom of expression. To actively organize to change that goes beyond constructive criticsm, (however well intentioned). I like this quote: The great Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa said, “In a democracy, resist the urge to enforce our choice on others.” Oh..have to add this recent (awesome) Stephen Colbert tweet: It's great that they took the N-word out of "Huckleberry Finn." Now get to work on "Moby D-Word."
