The Chi McBride character is annoyingly flat and unnecessary.
Every drama series has the episode or series of episodes in which an outside person comes to threaten the dynamic of the team. An auditor, inspector, or in the case a big money influence. It's almost always annoying. In this case, it's worse than annoying. The character, played by McBride, is a jerk for no reason. He decided he didn't like house early in his first appearance and his entire character had no purpose other than to threaten the dynamic of the team. We're supposed to hate the character for his looming threats, but we end up hating the episodes for dragging this kind of drama into a shoe that didn't need the diversion.
Nothing against Chi McBride. I like him in many other roles, I just didn't like the way he was written into House.
