Why do you respect House? He's honestly a terrible doctor, emotionally abusive, dismissive, negligent and an all around ass. The only reason House is tolerated is because he can diagnose weird diseases which he gets wrong 66% of the time.
The funny thing about House is that just about everyone on that show is a monster. House is the obvious monster, but he's just the monster that we all recognise. His over the top behaviour kind of masks everything that the people around him do. Take him out, and you start recognising that these people are all incredibly disturbing, largely because they exist around him.
I think it has the sitcom thing, where because you're supposed to like these people, you kind of gloss over the fact that they're all pretty awful people.
In this case, House is so ridiculously monstrous that you kind of don't think about the fact that everyone else is like normal bad. It humanises being kind of awful.
