Monk or House?

House, no contest.

Although, when I first heard of a show named "House", I had something completely different in mind.

^ Ditto

House wins for the sheer sarcasm he spews in every episode. Also #13 is hotsauce mixed with spice.

Why are you comparing them?

Why not maybe ER, or Scrubs?

At least it's the same setting :/

Cox is better than House.

That is all.

Freaky. Both are the only two scripted shows that I watch on TV anymore.

Both are awesome. House wins though. Both the character and the show. Monk was starting to get a little stale a couple of seasons ago. Although this season of House has been pretty messed up.

I actually haven't watched Monk for a while now. I need to get back into it.

^^You are an idiot. Kill yourself. Cox is House lite. As good as his quips are, nothing, nothing, will ever compare to the way House psychologically strips the very mental strength of everyone he knows in such a badass way.

EDIT: Well, don't kill yourself. But chasten yourself. With a whip.

^I have only two shows on TV I watch as well: House and The Office. However, I like Monk enough to give it the occasional spin. House is the superior show, and the best character on TV. It has the best humor (any encounter between House and anyone) and the best plots/mysteries, as well as the only real 'drama' I can stand.

And, as Joker said, #13 is... wow. Although Cameron isn't so bad either.

House hands down.

House and The Office are the only shows I watch.

House ftw. His sarcasm and his devotion to being the best damn doctor on tv makes me melt <3 I freaking love that guy.

I have to admit, I'm wondering if they're trying to write either #13 or Foreman off cuz they keep trying to break em up or make one quit... Oh House... you and your games...

I bet when the sex episode with Thirteen on House was showing, /b/ exploded.

Yes, I say Thirteen.

I still like 'Monk' better. Monk is so screwed up and sad, I can't help but root for him---he's more relatable than House (although I concede this might just reflect more on me than the show itself). I also think the writing and direction in 'Monk' are stronger, but what do I know.
