    I think it’s aged fine. He’s an edgy asshole and everyone hates him because he’s an asshole.

      I think this generation made a wrong turn when it started hating guys like House but praising guys like Ron Swanson.

      Almost everyone. Most of his team doesn’t actively hate him, except for Foreman and sometimes Chase. But yeah, broadly everyone hates him for being an asshole but he’s also a profoundly capable asshole which means they also want to keep him around despite being an asshole. His entire department essentially exists because of Cuddy’s guilt over giving him the limp.

      Three Stories was probably my favorite episode. House is forced to teach a class, he sets up three hypotheticals of patients reporting leg pain at the same time. One of the cases is his own story of how he ended up with the limp. He also managed to diagnose what’s wrong with the normal teacher of the class while teaching it (lead poisoning).
