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).
