New People, I Don’t Like You

It’s Tuesday night, just before 9:00, and that usually means one thing: time for a whole hour of an all-new House.  But, tonight there is no new House.  So, I am dedicating this blog to something that I, as a House fan, feel needs to be said.  I miss my old friends Cameron, Chase, and Foreman.  Why don’t we ever see them anymore?!I’ll admit the new people were interesting at first.  Yes, I got caught up in the competition and Survivor-style eliminations. But enough is enough!  I don’t care how funny Kutner is, how “hot” American males think “Thirteen” is, or how…well…I don’t know what exactly Taub is supposed to be yet, but the point is: I DON’T LIKE THE NEW PEOPLE!  All I wanted last week was a few minutes with you, Cameron, and your old hair (WHY did they do that to your hair?  It looked beautiful before!) And I’m sorry for all the times I whined about you, Dr. Chase, and how underdeveloped your character is.  Can you ever forgive me?  And Foreman: you know you’ve always been a favorite of mine.  I think it goes without saying that your absence from my life is felt very keenly.In hopes that–by some impossible miracle–a writer of House might accidentally stumble upon this blog, I want to say something to the writers: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!  You had the most-watched show on television–you had a cast that was working magically!  We bonded with them!  They were our virtual friends!  How could you do this to us–to them?!  Give us back Cameron, Foreman, and Chase!And because I’m already hearing whines about why the writers *had* to change up the cast because the show was too “formulaic,” I want to remind everyone that the formula was WORKING!  That’s why we have formulas–because they work.  I don’t know about you, but when I make mac & cheese, I always do it the same way: boil noodles, drain, add cheese sauce, butter, and milk.  I don’t decide that my mac & cheese has suddenly become “too formulaic” and swap the normal ingredients for raisins, M&M’s, and orange juice.   So, to the writers, the cast, and all the rest of you fans, let me say it one more time:  Bring back Cameron, Chase, and Foreman!  I liked my mac & cheese just the way it was, thank you.
