I watched the first two episodes on Direct TV's 101 network and they're showing the rest in case you didn't know. I felt all the same emotions people commented on here, even though its 9 years later. It really shows you it was a great show that held up over time and would have been big if it didn't get banned. I didn't think it was that controversial. I loved it and the characters and want to see what happens next.
I volunteered in mental institutions twice and the people are more calm not shouting as much and not as uncontrollable as much as in the TV show, but thats not saying that all people with mental illness are like that, since the show is more about the extremes. Every episode of House has the strangest most unlikely illnesses possible, but no one points out how unrealistic it is. I thought the show was quite realistic.
