"House MD" say goodbye at the end of the eighth season

http://tvyactualidad.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/HOUSE10.jpgThe television series "House", one of the most popular dramas on U.S. television, will end at the end of the eighth season, currently being broadcasted, said the Fox in a statement. The producers themselves have been those who have decided not to proceed with the series starring British actor Hugh Laurie.

It's official, "House" will end on May 21 after eight seasons in which he has had a change of actors and actresses, changes in their scripts and an audience that has accompanied them at all times to be much lower than when it started ago eight years.

"The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years – but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved." explained the series executive producers David Shore, Katie Jacobs and the actor, Hugh Laurie.

The Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly, also gave their views in a statement: "With great regret and a lump in the throat, we respect the decision made by Hugh, David and Katie. For eight seasons, the entire team of 'House' has given us some of the best characters and most moving stories ever seen on TV." 

The audience slump drags the series from last season and wishes of Hugh Laurie character completely untied gave him fame throughout the world and the producers themselves have accelerated the decision and provide that the series is dismissed with a closed end.

For those who have time and want to see the full release of the producers here it is:

"After much deliberation, the producers of House M.D. have decided that this season of the show, the 8th, should be the last. By April this year they will have completed 177 episodes, which is about 175 more than anyone expected back in 2004.

The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years – but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved.

Since it began, House has aspired to offer a coherent and satisfying world in which everlasting human questions of ethics and emotion, logic and truth, could be examined, played out, and occasionally answered. This sounds like fancy talk, but it really isn’t. House has, in its time, intrigued audiences around the world in vast numbers, and has shown that there is a strong appetite for television drama that relies on more than prettiness or gun play.

But now that time is drawing to a close.  The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature;  he should never be the last one to leave the party.  How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.

The producers can never sufficiently express their gratitude to the hundreds of dedicated artists and technicians who have given so generously of their energy and talent to make House the show it has been – and perhaps will continue to be for some time, on one cable network or another.

The makers of House would also like to thank Fox Broadcasting and Universal Television for supporting the show with patience, imagination and large quantities of good taste.  The Studio-As-Evil-Adversary is one of the many clichés that House has managed to avoid, and for that the cast and crew are deeply grateful.

Lastly, the audience:  some have come and some have gone, obviously. This is to be expected in the life of any show. But over the course of the last eight years, the producers of House have felt immensely honored to be the subject of such close attention by an intelligent, discriminating, humane and thoughtful – not to mention numerous – audience.  Even the show’s detractors have been flattering in their way.  Making the show has felt like a lively and passionate discussion about as many different subjects as could possibly be raised in 177 hours.  The devotion and generosity of our viewers has been marvelous to behold.

So, finally, everyone at House will bid farewell to the audience and to each other with more than a few tears, but also with a deep feeling of gratitude for the grand adventure they have been privileged to enjoy for the last eight years.  If the show lives on somewhere, with somebody, as a fond memory, then that is a precious feat, of which we will always be proud.

Everybody Lies."
