I am kind of disappointed because originally house was the kind of guy who seemingly said really crass things to offend people because he wanted to make them think, react, provoke controversy. It used to raise important subjects people had trouble dealing with, and we got to see the characters all deal with it differently. To me, if there's a lack of reaction, then the entire point of his character falls flat on its face.
I have to agree with that, there were many things he got me thinking about in the earlier seasons (1-3) through his inappropriate humour, but when there isn't any actual "thinking" or reactions shown to encourage that exploration of the subject, then the whole thing takes on a different perspective.
