I absolutely love this show. Hugh Laurie does a fantastic job as Dr. House and is probably my favorite tv character along with James Spader's Alan Shore. I'd say this is by far my favorite new show of the season and I'm really glad it's set for another season. And, the fact that I'm watching it religiously now says a lot because it conflicts with Scrubs, which, in my opinion, is one of the best comedies of the past several years. My VCR recently gave up on the whole "being functional" thing, so I'm always in an unfortunate predicament on Tuesday nights.
As for the show's plot being redundant, I was never put off by the fact that the formula of "patient is admitted with weird ailment, House and team make guesses that are wrong then House realizes something and saves the day" has been used with each show I've been able to catch. The show is a medical drama, but the way it works is much more like a detective or CSI style show than ER, and just like those detective shows, one can assume the plot will at least loosely follow that formula.
I really enjoy the rest of the cast and I think they all play off of House really well, and I'm really curious as to what will happen with Dr. Cameron (the doctor who resigned in the last episode). I hope she sticks around, because as well-written, interesting and funny as the show is, it doesn't hurt to have a ridiculously pretty woman in the cast, heh.
