I thought we knew this at the beginning of the season? Why is it being announced again now?

I was absolutely certain that before season 8 started, it was announced that it was going to be the last season - or that Hugh was leaving at the end of the season which essentially means the same thing.

In the case of House they have milked that titty so hard and for so long. Hasn't produced milk for 3 years and now the titty is just raw.

A titty seldom comes single.

The upper management at Fox must be ****ED, the only way to end a show on fox is fr it to be cancelled at the worse possible time.

Why is it the worst possible time? I say it's the best time to **** can the show. It's gotten VERY long in the tooth!

Because even though the show isn't as good as it used to be, it's still bringing a lot of viewers (and Fox only cares about getting viewers)

That's just how I see it.

If you cancel all the shows that some people say are on their "way out" quality-wise then you'd lose a lot of your favorites in 3...2..1!

I always feel weird seeing comments how something shall end. If some still enjoy it, why take it from them?

That's just mean.

It's easy to switch the channel or turn off the TV, not so much with getting a cancelled show back with new original stuff. :no:

There are many shows I watch that are simply out of habit. I can't remember the last good episode I saw of One Tree Hill but I've seen them all. If they cancelled it, I'd be more than understanding, and that's coming from an actual fan.

One Tree, who what? I think you're in the wrong thread! LOL

After a few seasons it was becoming stretched. To be honest I though it picked up with the mental home twist where 'old tricks' became fresh again in a different situation. Personally think he should have stayed there longer with a slower transition out. Also the short prison stint could have lasted longer -again it was a bit of new life in an old show that seemed to blow over, in all honest it could have been a whole series in itself. Make me wonder whether they knew a while ago it was going to end at the end of the series and consequently have started building up a story line towards the end.

I saw it coming... me and my wife have watched every single episode starting from the pilot...but this season we just can't get into the show (we're still watching it but it's almost painful :/)

After much debate about it, mainly be saying perhaps we should give it a chance still, me and my misses actually gave up after the first 2 episodes of this season. Literally have not watched an episode since. So yeah, I think it is time, and perhaps was as others have said, after Season 6.

I will say they have zero to be ashamed of. Truly one of the better television dramas to ever grace the small screen, so my hats off to them for creating such an amazing show to begin with. (Y)

Yep, my wife and I speculated about the ending of the series after House gets out of jail, we watched one or two episodes after that and then stoped. It would've been nice to keep him in jail to make it more interesting but it went downhill steeply.

It was one of the best shows. Hope Fox can fill the gap with something good.

Spin of or some kind of variation? This is just too much of a cash cow to let it die with dignity.

Although Chase, Foreman or Taub doesn't quite have the same ring.

Agree, but I really don't see what they can come up with.

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
