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.

I can see it now House movie in 2014

Lie to Me comes to mind again... :cry:

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
