And yes, the show is about House, but we would see more from him interacting with real characters than contrived walls to bounce him off.
I remember David Shore going on about how he didn't want characters to simply become caricatures for House to steamroll. And the show was better for it. He'd probably deny he ever said it, now, with his selective memory...

I'm still holding out hope for s7 though. It might get better. Or perhaps I'm still in the denial stage of things.
My problem is, even if I sit through a few episodes of S7 and House and Cuddy break up, the damage has been done, and there's really nothing to look forward to in order make it worth sitting through. Season 5 was excruciating, and Season 7 will probably be just as painful (worse, even, since it won't have Cameron, Thirteen, Kutner, or hallucination!Amber).
