IAWTC. Like the last anon said, it's really up to you. Think of this season as the marshmallow you found in your pocket to the 90% dark bar of chocolate that house has been in previous seasons- It's easy, and light, but you'll forget about it soon enough and you might find some bits of sand at the bottom that leave a bad taste in your mouth. If you were to ask me what my favorite season of house is, season six wouldn't come immediately to mind, but I have watched every episode so far, which is a first for me since season two.
Don't go looking for a lot of the deeper meaning House usually carries around with it; the riffs on life this season are about the quality of a lifetime movie written by a 15-year-old girl. On the other hand, House and Wilson are almost ridiculously schmoopy, to the point that random newspaper critics were commenting on it, and unlike some other House episodes, nothing here really hurts to watch like some of the Tritter and Amber stuff did.
So, in summary, you could probably watch the best of the season in one sitting and be smiling at the end, but don't expect to be too blown away. Here are some of my favorite episodes:
Private Lives: Not necessarily H/W, but plenty of Wilson AND OH WHO AM I KIDDING GO WATCH IT NOW IT'S HILARIOUS. Telling you why would spoil it, BUT TRUST ME IT IS.
Black Hole: I think this episode was so gay they had to get Wilson a girlfriend, just so they didn't get beat up by FOX. BTW, this is the one that some random journalist said that they could pretty much only get schmoopier if they were actually having sex. The patient's kinda lame, though.
Lockdown: As weird as this sounds, this episode has some adorable Taub/Foreman. And some great Wilson/Thirteen friendshippiness. Plus, it was directed by Hugh Laurie!
The Choice: Gay patient, which is always fun, plus an absolutely side-splitting Foreman/Chase/House scene WHICH IS AWESOME AND TOTALLY WORTH WATCHING FOR.
Baggage: This one's iffy. Dr. Nolan's therapy style ticked some people off, but whatever Nolan was trying to push House towards it honestly seemed to me like House was getting as close as he ever does to flat-out SAYING he's jealous of Wilson's squeeze. House is like, "That didn't bother me!" *shifty eyes* and Nolan's like, "Well, all right then. That sounded honest. So if it wasn't THAT, than it must be CUDDY!" Congratulations, Nolan, you get a gold star for obliviousness. I guess that it wasn't great plot-of-the-show-wise, but I liked watching it through slash goggles anyways.
