    • Trivia
      According to David Shore, after Hugh Laurie's audition, executive producer Bryan Singer said, "See, this is what I want, an American guy." Singer was unaware of the fact that Hugh Laurie is British.
    • Goofs
      Multiple times throughout the series, the doctors claim that a particular patient is unable to have an MRI because he/she has titanium screws, rods or plates in their bodies. Titanium is non-magnetic and patients with titanium implants can be safely examined using an MRI. Issues would only arise if the titanium were installed using fasteners with magnetic properties.

    • Alternate versions
      The song used for the intro sequence is Massive Attack's "Teardrop". However, in many European countries an original piece of music by Scott Donaldson and Richard Nolan was used due to rights issues. From the second season onwards a new intro composed by Jason Derlatka and John Ehrlich was used.

    You must watch this show!
    "House" is one of the best new shows of the season that no one is watching.

    Yes, it is another medical drama (and haven't we seen enough of those?) but what this show lacks in originality it makes up in character. Namely - Dr. Greg House.

    House is a cranky, cynical highly intelligent doctor with a limp that specializes in weird medical cases. Each week he, and his team of fresh faced young doctors, tackle some new medical mystery. With the use of CSI camera views and mouth-numbing medical jargon, the show tries not to bore you to tears with the specific case.

    Still, though the cases are entertaining and puzzling, that's not why you should watch this show.

    Unlike most stale TV cop/medical/lawyer shows out there, "House" doesn't focus on the cases alone. Week by week we actually get a chance to...GASP!...learn about the characters! But the character that everyone will be obsessed with his Hugh Laurie's Dr. House.

    House, even though cranky and unlovable, is a sweet guy at heart. He's the type of guy you want curing you. Though he rarely visits his patients, at least he doesn't sugar coat things for you. He will call you an idiot to your face and you'll love him for it. Each time you watch you'll want to know what else he likes besides "General Hospital" and Vicadin pills.

    Dr. House is hiding out Tuesday nights at 8pm amid all the other bored-with-their-jobs characters. Whenever you're sick of case obsessed Gil Grissom or any Law and Order detective, tune into "House".

    I promise you'll at least leave with a fresh feeling in your brain.

    FAQ32

    • Why does House never have any money? He earns the same as the other department heads and doesn't have a family to keep. Wilson has three ex-wives and has paid alimony to one or more at any one time, yet he bails out House all the time. (BTW, why does Wilson have to pay alimony anyway - there weren't any children from those marriages.)
