I think your issues are totally reasonable and they make me wonder why I like the show so much. In real life, I prefer to shun people who are half the asshole House is. (If they do, indeed, come in halves.) On the show? I'm fascinated by the character. I don't *like* him, and I don't really want to like him. Like you, I think he's reprehensible -- I actually get more angry at him when he tells off parents and spouses than when he tells off the sick people -- but I still find him mesmerizing.

But then, I've really liked Hugh Laurie for a long time so I'm probably cutting the character more slack than he deserves.

And I need another show. I get tired of watching Due South DVDs. *G*
