When was house cancelled

I don't have time right now to turn this into an answer, but if someone else does that's cool with me, but here is an article about it from TV Line: tvguide. Observe the infamous decline in quality of The Simpsons , or Fairly Odd Parents , or Dexter , and ask yourself whether you want that to happen to your own favourite show. Or to paraphrase Jurassic Park : "Your executives were so preoccupied with whether they could , they didn't stop to think whether they should.

F1Krazy true, I used to think "I wish X continued forever" but then seeing how some of my favorite shows declined in quality after too long I also prefer to have a good wrap up a la Breaking Bad. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Long story short, because of money. Improve this answer.

The better these freshman shows perform, the thinking goes, the less chance Fox will need to pony up for another year of House. All three have performed OK in the ratings, though Alcatraz took a worrisome dip this week. In November, star Hugh Laurie said he expects to retire from TV acting once the show goes off the air.

Though House has won many awards, two top prizes have remained elusive — the Emmys for best actor for series star Hugh Laurie and best drama series for the show itself though Laurie has won a Golden Globe — twice — for the part. After much deliberation, the producers of House M. By April this year they will have completed episodes, which is about more than anyone expected back in The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years — but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved.

Since it began, House has aspired to offer a coherent and satisfying world in which everlasting human questions of ethics and emotion, logic and truth, could be examined, played out, and occasionally answered.

House has, in its time, intrigued audiences around the world in vast numbers, and has shown that there is a strong appetite for television drama that relies on more than prettiness or gun play. But now that time is drawing to a close. The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party.

The producers can never sufficiently express their gratitude to the hundreds of dedicated artists and technicians who have given so generously of their energy and talent to make House the show it has been — and perhaps will continue to be for some time, on one cable network or another.

The makers of House would also like to thank Fox Broadcasting and Universal Television for supporting the show with patience, imagination and large quantities of good taste. Lastly, the audience: some have come and some have gone, obviously. But how has the ensemble cast fared since the show began?

We've ranked all the main cast to see who's profited the most from starring in it. Comedian and musician Charlyne joined the cast of House for its final season as one of House's quirky new team members. Like her co-star Odette Annable, who joined at the same time, she didn't have much time to cement herself as one of the more memorable characters. Since then, she has mainly concentrated on her writing and comedy work, but in terms of acting roles she featured in episodes of Looking, Jane the Virgin and the new Twin Peaks.

She also voices Ruby in Steven Universe. Robert was already a well known face thanks to roles in movies like Dead Poets Society and Much Ado About Nothing by the time he landed the role as House's long-suffering best mate. At first, Laurie figured that Wilson was actually the main character, as he thought no-one would want to watch a show where the main character was a git.

The series ended with Wilson sadly dying of cancer, before he and his old pal literally rode off into the sunset together. Sadly, Lisa decided not to return to House for its final season, or even its finale, which always left a bad taste for all House fans.

She has continued to appear in a range of TV shows since then, including a three-episode arc in The Good Wife and three episodes of Castle. Amber was briefly a main cast member in season 7, and returned for a stint in the final season, having already made a name for herself in the likes of Joan of Arcadia, General Hospital and others. Omar starred in all eight seasons as the constantly annoyed and fed up Foreman, having previously featured in ER and various movies in the s and early s.

Taub was one of those characters who you thought would only be in a couple of episodes, but somehow managed to hang on until the bitter end. We're guessing it's because everyone loved Peter on the set.
