TV show description:
Though the bedside manner of Dr. Gregory House, M.D. (Hugh Laurie) leaves much to be desired, his knowledge and skill as a doctor more than make up for it.
In this medical drama set in New Jersey’s Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, House leads a team of diagnosticians who help him solve cases of mysterious ailments. On his team are neurologist Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps), immunologist Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and intensivist Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer).
Though House will stop at nothing to diagnose and treat his patients, hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) tries to keep him in check. House’s friend and confidant, oncology specialist Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), is often the cranky doctor’s sounding board or verbal punching bag.
When House’s team grows tired of his antics, they disband and he chooses a new team as if it were a reality show competition – eliminating doctors until there’s a final three – Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobsen), Dr. Lawrence Cutner (Kal Penn) and Dr. “Thirteen” (Olivia Wilde).

Excellent show… I know a doctor that’s like him…
This House is so good, so innovative, so EXCELLENT that I can not understand how it has not been canceled by its producers, the fact been that they always cancel the good series and leave the retarded ones like Survivors and all those pseudo-reality based shows. I am protesting for the cancellation of excellent series like The Unusuals, The Eleven Hour and the likes.. ABC, Fox and all those guys need the audience to get companies to advertise with them: no audience, no advertisement. Well, until they take under consideration my opinion before canceling anything, I will not watch any show. MAKE A BETTER OPINION-CHECKING SYSTEM, like a pulls dedicated website or something like that. I WANT MY OPINION TO COUNT, NOT JUST TO WATCH SOME STUPID ADVERTISEMENT. I CHOOSE WHAT I WATCH, NOT YOU, SMART COMPANY INTERESTS ORIENTATED GUYS…
House rocks!!!
I completely agree with poster Frank, above… House is an excellent show. It’s most perplexing as to why FOX has not yet found a reason to cancel it… One of the cast members must still be doing a Fox network executive — it’s the only possible explanation. They’ll f-it up yet…
don’t cancel House..i heard it was cancelled and this was the last season…
it is the best show on t.v. it is full of excitement and politically incorrect statements and it always bringing something new to each weeks episode.. Hugh Laurie is brilliant
