Seeing and hearing House, to utilize an expression in a people’s novel, grabs me by the gonads and squeezes. I’m a dupe for a good hookup. I have to suspend all doubt to watch the romantic scenes between them, and I hope the storyline fades away. Sarcastically, the chemistry between House and Wilson works much better, and their relationship is one of the best things about the show. Some of their storylines and scenes have been hilarious.
Splashed across the cover of last week’s TV Guide is a large photo of TV physicians Hugh Laurie (House). Dressed for singing, Cuddy has her arm around House’s neck, and House has one hand close to her breast and another a little lower than that. What attracted me more, nevertheless, was the bold-faced headline, “Enjoy yourself finally?”
As of the first episode of the new season, House and Cuddy are playing house. Notice that the TV Guide headline does not say, “Together at last?” but “Happy at last?” almost as if the two were the same thing.
House, of course, is infamously misanthropic and miserable. The view that if only he became coupled, he would then be happy, is the most conventional one. (Never mind that the research begs to disagree.) House’s BFF Wilson also believes in the power of relationships to improve well-being, but his take on the meaning of relationships is broader and more enlightened than TV Guide’s. For example, when Wilson discovered (along with the rest of the team) that House had faked cancer in order to get access to some potentially awesome pain meds, he suggested that House instead try spending more time with the friends and colleagues who care about him. House has his own thoughts on the matter (doesn’t he always?): He thinks it is hard to be happy when your leg hurts all the time.
Yes, I do realize that House is not a real person. Still, I like to play this game of pretending he is. Let’s also pretend we get to pick just one key happiness-promoting factor. In that spirit, here’s what I think makes House happy: solving seemingly impossible medical mysteries that stump everyone else. True, he is a crank even though, week after week, he’s the one who comes up with the insight that eluded all of the other smart medical professionals. My position is that he would be even more miserable if he could not routinely put his stunning talents to the test. What he does at work is challenging and meaningful. Not that he’d use the “meaningful” word himself.
Try this consideration experiment: Image if you deduct the work and add Cuddy? Provide House a job that might be reasonable to nearly all other people, just not to him. Let him have a great relationship with Cuddy. Do you think that he could be pleased? He certainly would not be House. The good-guy, listen-to-Cuddy version I saw in the kick-off episode was a complete bore.
In my opinion, nevertheless, what makes the House situation much more disappointing is the truth that he was initially based upon Sherlock Holmes, who did not have such entanglements and kept primarily paying attention on other types of relationships along with his work.
