House Broken

Entertainment Weekly's recent cover story on House suggested this new season they'll fix the problems of last. What problems? I thought it was an improvement over season three. While it was sad three of the co-stars got short shrift, if was more than made up by all the new secondary characters. The public seems to agree with me, since the show's ratings were as high as ever.

Some of the changes that are promised include House and his friend Wilson splitting apart, not to mention romances heating up between old characters. These sound like bad ideas--the sort of stuff you do when a show gets tired. I bet they'll need to retool when season six comes along.
