Though I believe the show has faltered at times (the whole Tritter arc and hard focus on his addictions) Hugh Laurie has been truly brilliant and consistent throughout. This far into a series the characters begin to fade and become more and more like the actors playing them. Not so with this ensemble. The success stems from wit, not humor, which Hugh Laurie, and obviously David Shore, is a master.
I only catch the marathons on USA , or the occasional online episodes. I do not think the series would be that interesting if the character was all "nicey nice".
