Review of 5 to 9

House M.D.: 5 to 9 (2010)
Season 6, Episode 13
9/10
Cuddy's day
10 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
First off - I never comment or review on IMDb, but what prompted me to do it this time was amount of inane reviews I read through (OK, so there were 2 out of 3, but I still think it's too much). What people fail to understand about this episode is that it's the counterpart to "Wilson" back in December - a day at PPTH through someone else's eyes. Yes, we all know Hugh Laurie carries the show, but I think both episodes have a lot of merit for trying to point out that the bigger picture is really not only about House and his crazy (yet brilliant) antics and that he can be what he is only by standing on a solid foundation laid by others (in this case - Cuddy's much mocked administrative work). That a show that's been on air for 6 years can still find fresh angles is a little miracle in itself, so the low IMDb score this episode got is undeserved. What spoiled the episode for me were the last couple of minutes: the cheesy montage, Cuddy's triumphant "Yes" and Lucas (I tried to like him, but I just can't).
