There's a small problem with this assertion. House may or may not be the best show ever.
In the UK, it's broadcast on Five. I believe Five does have viewers. I don't know any, but they may exist. This is probably also why CSI is as badly rated and why no one watches Grey's Anatomy.
In my old town, you couldn't get 5 at all unless you got cable or satellite, and a lot of people don't.
The best show ever won't get any viewers on Five, at least none that count. Plus it's a poll of Empire readers (I did some digging, I thought it was a staff ranking which Future frequently do for features) ergo the sample is biased towards people prepared to buy Empire magazine.
Ergo, in a vote of idiots, a show that a lot can't see isn't going to do well, even if it has got Hugh in it.
And, um, I like the Simpsons, still. Always did, the humour appeals. Oh, and I'm only 6 episodes into Heroes.
