So many! “Birthmarks”, “Dying Changes Everything,” “Wilson’s Heart” Telling the documentary filmmakers that House had a homosexual encounter in the men’s room. Referring to killing his girlfriend.

Too many to count! The second before the Cuddy kiss, the look on his face when Cuddy leads him into Wilson’s office in “Both Sides Now,” the skateboarding
“You invoked your dead girlfriend’s name to sell me? You’re my hero.”
Best Cuddy moments
The “monkey in a banana factory” exchange, telling Wilson “there will be a Wilson chalk outline on the floor”, the entire House/Cuddy kiss sequence, in fact, her acting throughout that entire episode. Also, her reaction to “your butt is like the pistons of a Ferrari.” It’s done with her back to the camera, but it is hilarious.

What can I say? The kiss, of course. Almost any time they interact: the chemistry is incredible. When House ruins her date.

Wow, you’re making me think here…. hmmmm.

Best House moments- Geez, so many! I love seeing him alone, expressing his true emotions. No exact episode.
Any time he’s on his motorcycle or wearing his leather jacket. Yes, I’m shallow.
I love him when he’s hurt and vulnerable. Probably why I like Detox, Three Stories, Distractions, 97 Seconds, House’s Head so much.
Best Cuddy moments- No particular moment. Just when she’s being strong and authoritative.
Wilson-House moments- Road trips. Whether in Son of a Coma Guy or Birthmarks, they’re always entertaining when away from the hospital…well, AT the hospital too. Their poker game from House vs God.
Angstiest moments- oh, so many. House sitting on the floor in Wilson’s empty office. House playing “Cuddy’s Serenade” alone. Wilson leaving House on the floor Christmas Eve. House and Wilson’s conversation near the end of Detox. Any time House is shown alone in pain.

Best Patients of the week
Best “teasers:
Here are some that stood out to me upon seeing them:
Silly moments:
Most of the beginning of the Three Stories episode, specifically when a student questions how the farmer turned into Carmen Electra and House’s response.
Chase moments:
Talking to the nun about how he “didn’t pass the test” in Damned If You Do.
Taub moments:
Mocking robot Foreman
Kutner moments:
Comparing the patient to Harry Potter
Wilson moments:
“Oh sorry, I’ve got a plague that day,” or whatever the specific quote is. I love that bit.
House moments:
The moment where he’s told by fantasy-Cuddy that he’s lame because he’d rather be diagnosing in his own fantasy.
Clinic patients:
The Asians and the birth control mishap
Patients of the week:
The dude from Last Resort
Best Cuddy: Season 5 finale when she finally gets angry and tells House he’s fired and when she helps him detox (hallucination).
Best music: Cuddy’s Seranade
Best House: Season 5 finale when he sees Kutner and says he’s not okay or when he sees Amber for the first time. He says so much with his eyes and face it is haunting and powerful.
Best Wilson-House moment: When House’s cain breaks and he falls and Wilson admits someone must have spent hours sawing through his cain and House gives a big smile while on the floor.
Best Cuddy: All of them! But I LOVED them in Let Them Eat Cake. Especially the scene when they decide to share House’s desk and House looks at her and she stares at him from across the desk with a serious look like “I’m here to stay, deal with it.” Fantastic. They share more in looks than words most of the time. Love them.
Best Guest Stars: Mira Sorvino in Frozen (such good chemistry with House and they never even filmed in the same room…now that’s tallent!) And I really loved Sela Ward, especially the very last episode she was in. Great job.
Silly moments
I love House’s face at the beginning of DIYD (105). He tries to flick paper down cuddy’s cleavage – she accuses him of behaving like an eight-year-old – “could and 8-year-old do this?”
Best Musical moments
for perfect timing – Georgia on my mind – the mid-way stop with the harmonica when House sees Amber’s hallucination for the first time.
Best Chase moments
for light-hearted – it’s gotta be the janitor closet scene.
for “boy becomes a man” the scene this week with the priest. Best acting muscles JS has flexed.
Best Cameron Moments
I loved JMo’s choice of phrasing when she came clean to Chase about wanting him to propose. The way she said “hoping” was beautiful.
Best Foreman Moments
For sheer bloody minded how DARE you-ness – touching BOUO during Epic Fail – just because it got me MAD and that’s funny that everyone had such a strong reaction to something seemingly so innocuous.
Best TAub moments
“this is foreman on the happiest day of his life”
Best Kutner Moments
“who said it was a cat” – the wet chair moment. AWww, RIP Kutner, we hardly knew ya.
Best 13 Moments
“I think this is the best thing I’ve ever eated, and yes, I’m including what you’re thinking of now”
Funniest moments
Because it’s fresh in my mind – I’m gonna have to go with House “picking lint out of his belly button” Just about the funnniest thing – how did they get away with that!!!
Best Wilson moments
Birthmarks – the whole episode is Hilsontastic.
Best House moments
Where to begin! Sorry, I can’t choose. 250 scenes are spinning through my brain….thud!
Best Cuddy moments
“Call the Make-a-Wish-Foundation.”
Huddy Moments
“I thought you were an interesting ass, even then”
Hameron Moments
Either, “If you want a sperm sample, come back without the needle”
Or, the wound scrubbing scene in Locked-In.
Wilson-House moments
for Funny – it has to be the opening scene in the bathroom in Top Secret. Too many quotes to include here – like “He wasn’t in the marines” “if you mean by simultaneous, their agreement to bill you on the same credit card” HAHAHA!
BUT you gotta go a long way to beat that last scene in Brave Heart – they’re in separate beds but share such intimacy and their whole relationship is encapsulated in that moment and moves forward entirely by it. Simply stunning and moving.
Angstiest moments
The reveal in BSN
Best clinic patients
I love Georgia – the octagenarian in Poison (108) “When I stop being contagious, I’ll come back for a checkup.”
Best Guest stars
JEJ as The Tyrant was a joy to watch and I really enjoyed John Laroquette in SOCG but I loved Jimmi Simpson ’s beautifully understated performance in Unfaithful (515)
Best Patients of the week
Fletcher in Failure to communicate – genius of Doris Egan there!
Best “teasers:
It wasn’t a standard teaser but locked-in was fab. For a classic House teaser, I think I’d have to go for Deception – HL and Cynthia Nixon – YUM!
A caveat for all of this is, of course, these are my choices today and I’ll be watching an episode tomorrow and kicking myself that I didn’t choose it.
Hope it helps in some way! Jo
This is just the first part. So sorry this is intensely long, but it’s impossible to narrow.
Silly moments: The guitar kidnapping. The thong search and rescue. House on acid with Cameron. House looking through Cuddy’s house in Humpty Dumpty. Wilson on speed. Lint in bellybutton.
Best Musical moments: When they played the theme song of House during WH covered by someone that wasn’t Massive Attack? I think it was WH. Cuddy’s Serenade. When Amber sings “Enjoy Yourself.” When House and the PI Lucas jammed together, probably both thinking about Cuddy. “Passing Afternoon” at the end of WH. Rolling Stones after Pilot and another episode that I can’t remember. “Gravity” by John Mayor at the end of Cane and Able.
Best Chase moments: It’s Tuesday. Kissing cancer girl. Getting embarrassed by House in All In. Just last week’s episode’s interaction with House telling him he’s in charge. Confessional.
Best Cameron Moments: Cam on drugs. Cam trying to explain how she feels about House after confessing on camera in Ugly.
Best Foreman Moments: When he couldn’t make the coffee after his brain injury. All I could think of…
Best Taub moments: “This is Foreman on the happiest day of his life. Now the saddest.” In JTTW trying to get House to confess his feelings of love for Cuddy. Racquetball in the morgue. “I’d like to buy some cocaine, please.”
Best Kutner Moments: “Yeah. The cat peed in the chair.” Harry Potter reference. “Her legs go all the way to Canada.” The House website. Kutner flipping his number.
Best 13 Moments: When she drugged House. When she first admitted that her mother had Huntingtons. “Give me a dollar.” –at the strip club with Foreman.
Funniest moments: See silly.
Best Wilson moments: Wilson on speed. Wilson telling House he slept with Cuddy. Wilson trying to get Cuddy to date him just to get her to date House. Guitar kidnap and tivo hostage. Watching the alligator with House on TV. “I call her Amber.”-when House finds out Wilson is dating Cutthroat Bitch. The scene with Cuddy when he bursts into tears in WH. His last scene with Amber. The bachelor party at his house without pants.Leading Kutner and Taub on about Irene Adler. “You have two ties?”
Best House moments: Last 7 minutes of Season 5 finale. All of Three Stories. Baba O’Reily. Any time he’s playing an instrument. Any time he strolls in singing. This is too hard…
Best Cuddy moments: “Joy.” Half-wit when she finds out House might have cancer. Humpty Dumpty trying to explain why she has House around. In “The Itch” explaining to Wilson why her and House would never work. Her smile at the end of “Ugly.” Lying on the stand in “Words and Deeds.”
Huddy Moments: So many. “Forever” when he tells Cuddy about her own period. “Who’s Your Daddy?” scenes with the injections and live sperm donor. The date interruptions during “Insensitive.” “Half-wit” ass grab and make a wish comment. “Top Secret” one night stand confession and Cuddy’s sashay away from a smiling House. “Mirror Mirror” dominance competition. HH and WH. Strip scene and the hand hold. Oh, and the life saving CPR! Last two minutes of “Joy.” Last two minutes of “The Itch.” Every Huddy scene in “LTEC.” “JTTW” last Huddy scene. Cuddy’s serenade. “Why do you care if I’m happy?” and Cuddy’s reaction to a scruff free House from “The Softer Side.” And of course, the last 15 minutes of “Under My Skin.” Last 10 minutes of “Both Sides Now.” Season 6 moments include “Hot for teacher and you make me feel funny.” “I’m gonna miss you.” “Can I get the five day forecast?”
Silly moments=
House playing jump the shark in the clinic room and also his cd disk domino effect set up.
Best Musical moments= House playing Georgia on My Mind at the end of Saviors. Also House playing Cuddy’s Serande at the end of Unfaithful.
Best Chase moments= Chase giving the dying nine year old a kiss. Chase praying over the dead baby. Chase running the betting pool on who House would fire and rigging it so House and him would get the money.
Best Cameron Moments- When Cameron gives advice to Foreman almost like a sister i.e. Mirror Mirror, The Tyrant, Big Baby. When Cameron stitched House up in House’s Head and when she came to clean his wounds in Locked In. She is still a sweet girl at her core.
Best Foreman Moments- When he comforted Chase in the surgery about the seemingly end of his relationship with Cameron in Saviors. Another great moment is when Foreman cried while hugging his mom because he knew she couldn’t remember him. I also enjoyed his first time playing boss over House in Season Two.
Best Taub moments- His appeal to House to hire 13 back. The time he tried to buy crack. The time he was trying to compete against Ridiculously Old Fraud. Of course, when he cried at the end of Simple Explanation, finally letting his pain out over losing Kutner.
Best Kutner Moments- His various defibrilator attempts gone wrong and he ending up electrocuted or setting a patient on fire. His references to Harry Potter, Star Trek, and other geeky outlets. His sweet concern for 13 when House rudely announced that she was positive for Huntingtons. I also enjoyed his superstitious side in Here, Kitty. Mostly, I loved that he genuinely liked House. He wanted to give him a present even though he knew House rigged the Secret Santa game. He also was always making sure he was alright like in The Softer Side.
Best 13 Moments- When she confronted House in Season 4 about not wanting to know the results of the Huntingtons test he did behind her back. I also liked when she hugged Amber and said goodbye to her in Wilson’s Heart and the fact that it was her idea for them all to say goodbye to Amber. I liked it when 13 realized she didn’t actually want to die, in Last Resort. She was so beautiful and heartbreaking in that scene.
Funniest moments- Wilson sawing down House’s cane so it would break in half once he started to walk. House telling his team to steal the thong of Lisa Cuddy. The patient in The Social Contract making crazy sexual comments to Cuddy and 13. House saying he was just taking lint out of his belly button, and then confessing that he was not actually taking lint out of his belly button(much to Wilson’s horror). House sending Wilson flowers pretending they were from Cuddy. Wilson screwing with House and pretending to go down to Cuddy’s office to kiss her.
Best Wilson moments- Wilson saying his goodbye to Amber. Wilson watching as House goes into Mayfield. Wilson letting his emotions out with Cuddy when he realizes Amber is going to die. Wilson’s elaborate prank in Saviors to get House’s mind off of Kutner’s passing. Wilson’s cute non-date date with Cuddy at the raunchy art exhibit. Wilson’s talk with Cameron about being serious about dating House because he could fall apart, in Love Hurts. Of course, Wilson’s recent moments of private talks with his deceased love before he goes to bed.
Best House moments- House letting the dying cancer girl hug him and then in the same episode, going out and buying his motorcycle. House walking up to Cuddy’s door trying to knock but so unsure of himself and leaving. The awestruck look on House’s face when the autistic boy gives him the hand held game. House’s shock when the woman awoke after they turned off the machines and her heart had stopped breathing, in the episode Human Error. The time when the baby’s finger wrapped around House’s in the surgery room, in Fetal Position, was so amazing.
Best Cuddy moments: Cuddy saving the hospital, House’s job, and the team from losing everything to Vogler. Cuddy lying on the stand to save House from jail. Cuddy going alone into a potentially dangerous abandoned house to rescue what would later become her baby girl. Cuddy asking House to help her with her IVF injections. Cuddy’s awkwardness on her date with Don in Insensitive. Cuddy’s fight to save Emma’s baby and Emma in Fetal Position. Cuddy’s tears when discovering that she won’t get Joy afterall. Cuddy’s happiness when she finally bonded with Rachel.
Huddy Moments- IVF injection scenes. The time when House told her that her legs looked nice under the light. The time when they watched the documentary about the hospital together in her office. The time when she held his hand in the hospital room in Wilson’s Heart. His way of knowing when she’s ovulating and how it has nothing to do with how bitchy she gets; but rather how her eyes glisten after visiting the kids cancer ward and the frozen yogurt with sprinkles that she breaks her ban on sugar for. Their amazing kiss in Joy and the subsequent awkwardness that followed in The Itch. Of course, the ass grab scene in her home when she thinks he has cancer. Most recently their scene in Brave Heart when he tells her that she does make him feel funny. So sweet. Also the fact that House got her med school desk out of storage and that made her so happy, well, until she saw the hooker.
Hameron Moments- All the times Cameron has stitched him up or cleaned his wounds. The time in Saviors when he gave her advice on her relationship with Chase and also in Both Sides Now. I also like it when she gives him advice like in Simple Explanation. I liked the time when she did the euthanasia and House told her he was proud of her and touched her shoulder.
Wilson-House moments- Living together in season 2 and living together again in season 6. Those two are a sweet odd couple/ old married couple in so many ways. I loved the elaborate guitar hostage situation Wilson created in order to get House to pick a new team. I loved it when House slipped speed into Wilson’s coffee and Wilson slipped House anti-depressants. I love that House was competing with Amber for Wilson’s affection. Wilson’s care for House and push for him to live better. House’s push for Wilson to stop always living for others.
Angstiest moments- Amber and Wilson’s last goodbye. Wilson leaving House in Dying Changes Everything. Cuddy’s heartbroken face while sitting in the nursery in Joy. House’s tears when he realized there was no way to save Amber. The sudden death of Kutner. House trying to walk without his cane at the end of The Honeymoon. House realizing that the ‘night’ with Cuddy was a delusion and he was alot worse off than he thought. The drive to Mayfield and the last moments between House and Wilson.
Best clinic patients- The prostitue who played the Virgin Mary. The little girl who was having orgasms and not seizures like the mom thought. The guy who stuck an ipod up his behind.

Best silly moments : so many! House’s laughter at an old enemy’s lecture, the one who turned him in for cheating in college, you know?
Also, Kutner and the defibrillator, Carmen Electra in “Three Stories”, when House turns stupid because of the CIA doctor in “Ugly”, the way he ruins Chase’s date at the fundraising in “All In” etc.
Best Musical moments : well, Cuddy’s Serenade was great.
I also like the “Georgia on My Mind” moment because of his state of mind at that time, only to be ruined by Amber’s hallucination.
And I love the “Hymn to Freedom” at the end of “All In” because he was so relieved and happy. Perfect music for the scene, it was a great metaphore for his mood.
Best Chase moments : I like when Chase struggles with his beliefs and all the moments that made him evolve so much so I’d say with the religious woman (don’t remember the title of the episode, sorry) and the scenes with his father. The scenes with Dibala were very strong, too. I like his relationship with the new team in seasons 4 and 5.
Best Cameron moments : everytime she stands up to the people and fight for what she thinks is right, like when she stands up to Cuddy in “Cane and Able” for exemple. Also her chat with Chase about sex in season 1 is really fun.
Best Foreman moments: when he just lets the “I am a genius too” mantra go to be the good doctor he is. His scenes in “Euphoria” and later on with his mom are moving. I also like him when he is capable of letting go and just be happy like in Chase’s bachelor party.
Best Taub Moments : I liked him with Kutner. I like how he stands up to House in “Ugly” and when he screws with him with the gift, I think it was in “Joy to the World”.
Best Kutner moments : the defibrillator of course!! I loved all his “out there” ideas, like “we should make her wasted” in season 4. I like his relationships with Taub and House. Good final scene between those two in “Locked In”.
Best 13 moments : her mysteriousness in season 4. When she drugs House in “I don’t remember what episode of season 4″. I like her moments with the huntigton’s patient (Lory Petty) in season 5. Her somewhat masochistic behavior in “Last Resort”.
Funniest moments : so many again! House using the janitor’s guy for the differentials in “Alone”, the fake patient/real prostitute singing the ‘Coconut song’ in “Let Them Eat cake” and when the same girl wakes up in the morgue after she supposedly died! Wilson cutting House’s cane in half. House putting a corpse on fire in “House Divided” etc.
Best Wilson moments : kidnapping House’s guitar in “Alone”. When he tries to help House by screwing with him in “Saviors” that’s when he is at his best!
His confession about his homeless brother in season one. His moments with Amber and of course the end of “Wilson’s Heart”.
Best House moments : many many many. I love when we see him without the jerk mask on. When he breaks up with Stacy (the second time) and after that his face when he is on the roof. I love the scene when he leaves a message on his mom in “Merry little Christmas”.
His face just seconds before he kisses Cuddy in “Joy” , we rarely see him so emotionally naked.
I also like his heart to heart talk with some of the patients like with the Schyzophrenic mom in “The Socratic Method” or the girl in “Autopsy” or even the priest in “Unfaithful”.
His interactions with Wilson in “Birthmarks” are also great and I like it when we see the subtle, underlying and mutual understanding, respect, trust and affection he has with/for Cuddy.
Best Cuddy moments : when she stands up to the board to save House’s ass in “Kids” I think. Her face when she realizes that House kept her secret at the end of “forever” (I’m not sure about that one either). “You both lose a finger” in season 4, lol.
When she forces House to talk to Wilson in “Dying Changes Everything” and when drugs House in the beginning of “Birthmarks”.
I like her talk with the patient in “Joy to the World”, very insightful.
Best House/Cuddy moments : “Huddy” is ugly and meaningless. It reduces two independant characters in just one thing, one couple. I don’t like it.
The scenes between the two when House keeps her secret about her will to have a baby in seasons 2. I like the scenes when he performs the shots on her.
When they watched the editing of the documentary at the end of “Ugly”, that’s fun.
Their talks at the end of “Act Your Age” and “Living the Dream” are nice too. Everytime they talk and can confide to each other and that we learn something.
Best House/Cameron moments : “hameron” is as ugly and meaningless as huddy. people really should stop with these contractions, nicknames nonsense!
I like when she confides in him because she trusts him, like when she talks to him about her dead husband or in “Saviors” when she admits that she knows Chase is gonna propose and doesn’t know if that’s a good idea.
Also, she comes to him when she has trouble with fiancee about her dead husband sperm and all.
That being said, I think their best scenes together were in the “Pilot” when he explains why he hired her “But you’re damaged” and in the end of “Informed Consent”.
Best House/Wilson moments : “Birthmarks” and When House goes with Wilson to visit his longtime lost brother. Everytime they have fun together. The cooking class comes to mind.
Angstiest moments : House keeping jogging on the treadmil while he knows the pain in his leg returned, the overdose in “Merry Little Christmas”, Amber’s fate in the season 4 finale, Kunter’s death, Amber singing in the bar in “Under my Skin” and House’s reaction to it. When House realizes that his detox and his night with Cuddy were all an hallucination.
Best clinic patients : the orange guy in season one that was fun. The idiot pregant girl who kept saying she was a virgin. The other idiot woman who used her inhaler like a perfume. The old lady who had a crush on House.
Best guest stars : well first, I’m gonna say Janel Moloney and Ashton Holmes. Not because they were the best of the series but because I’m a West Wing and David Cronenberg fan (AH played in “A History of Violence, fantastic film!) therefore I was happily surprised to see them here.
Then I’d say Mira Sorvino, James Earl Jones, Patrick Bauchau, Franka Potente, Dave matthews…
Best PotW : Ashton Holmes because the case is fascinating. The little girl in “Autopsy”, the schizophrenic mom in “The Socratic method”, the priest in “unfaithful” and his talk with House, the guy in “Mirror Mirror” because of what it makes us discover about the team, the actor in “Living the Dream” for the fun, The pregant woman in “Fetal Position” because it is related to Cuddy and Dibala in “The Tyrant”.
Best teasers : That’s hard! The one in “No Reason” comes to mind because it is the first time we’re with the team in the hospital on a teaser and the gunshot is shocking.
The one were a lot of peole collapse (a boxer, amusician etc.) I don’t remember the name of the episode. It is in season 4.
The teasers of “Adverse events” and “Joy” are very curious too.

Did you expect only one or more than one answer for each. Given you put an “s” at “moments”, “stars”, patients”…
I’ll really have to answer this survey again after rewatching every season because I’m sure I forgot tons of great moments.
