I totally agree that Euphoria 1&2 were amazing episodes and Omar did a great job. I think where Foreman's character went downhill is when he left because he didn't want to be like House. As you said, in his effort to NOT be like House he's lost something along the way. It seems like he's so busy butting heads with House that he's almost incapable of doing anything else (like laugh, smile, or act human). Taub's impression of Foreman on his happiest and saddest days was SPOT ON!!
That said, I think that we got a glimpse of the old Foreman in The Social Contract, wouldn't you say?
Say what you want about House being an insensitive jerk but at least for the most part he seems to retain his sense of humor (although it can be rather twisted at times).
I like my insensitive jerks to have a twisted sense of humor! The two just go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
(Although I think The Social Contract, among other episodes, kind of showed us that House isn't always quite the insensitive jerk that he appears to be. He's so much more complicated than that and a lot deeper than we are led to think he is. His mind is always working and when it isn't a medical puzzle it's obvious he examines and analyzes his life and the lives of those around him.)
