http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(TV_series) House, also known as House, M.D., is an American television medical drama that debuted on the FOX network on November 16, 2004. The program was co-created by David Shore and executive produced by Shore and film director Bryan Singer. The show's central character is Dr. Gregory House (British actor Hugh Laurie), an unconventional medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH). The show's premise was created by executive producer Paul Attanasio, who was inspired to create a medical procedural show after reading an article in the New York Times. Shore co-created the title character following a visit to a teaching hospital. Initially, Singer wanted an American to play House, but Laurie's audition convinced him that a foreign actor could play the role. The character has similarities to Sherlock Holmes; both are forensic geniuses, musicians, drug users, aloof and largely friendless. The show is filmed in Century City and takes place in New Jersey. Dr. House often clashes with his boss, hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine, Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), and his diagnostic team, because his theories about a patient's illness are often based on subtle or controversial insights. House's only true friend is Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), head of the Department of Oncology. House's original diagnostic team were: Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer), Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) , and Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps). At the end of the third season, this team is disbanded. House gradually selects a new team, consisting of Dr. Foreman, Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley (Olivia Wilde), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson) and Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn), from forty applicants. The original doctors still appear during the series; Foreman is rehired to House's team, Chase is working as a Surgeon and Cameron becomes the Department Head of the emergency room. House has received much critical acclaim and gained high ratings. During the 2007–08 United States television season, the series was the most-watched scripted program and the third-most-watched program, behind American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.[1] The show has also received several awards and nominations, including a Peabody Award, two Golden Globe Awards and three Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2008, Shore announced that a spin-off series, centering on a character introduced in season five (presumably Lucas Douglas), will be created. House has ended its fifth season and has been renewed for a sixth, due to start screening sometime in September, this year. --
