Dr. House hangs up his Fox TV stethoscope

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fox's medical drama "House" is ending its eight-year run this season.

The show's producers, including Emmy-nominated star Hugh Laurie, said it was a "painful" decision but that the time had come to bring "House" to a close.

The drama stars Laurie as Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant but troubled physician with a gift for unraveling medical mysteries. Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard and Charlyne Yi are part of the ensemble cast.

In a statement Wednesday, Laurie and his fellow producers said they imagined Dr. House as an "enigmatic creature," and that it was best for him to vanish while there was still mystery in the air.

The season finale date for "House," which airs 9 p.m. EST Monday, was not announced.

about time, it's getting dull already

House was the best TV series to ever air.
So I'm not so sure why you're saying "It's about time".

yes, couldn't agree more on that 'best to air' part,
but season 7 and 8 (obviously) are the worst of the series
no wonder if the rating is going downhill

tbh, i'm glad the show is ending
at last we get to see hugh laurie doing other projects
it'd be such a waste of talent if he keeps this role going.
