Thanks - glad you liked it - yes, House did have changing moods on the show, although I think as the seasons progressed some of the deeper moments got buried by the jokes.

I miss them too :( I was just thinking that it would normally be getting time for the new season to start - and we would all be wondering how they would write themselves out of the cliffhanger form last season. Imagine if they had to come up with a ninth season now, they'd have some fancy footwork to do :)
