    • 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.

    • Crazy credits

    • 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.

    Great Show
    Hugh Laurie as Dr. House is my new hero. This is a terrific show with some absolutely great writing. A little over the layman's head as far as medical jargon, but the characters, plot and script more than make up for any questions about a diagnosis. The show is really carried by House, but the team of doctors who work with him add dimension and depth to his character.

    Any negative comments I've read about the show dealt with complaints about how the television doctors don't diagnose the way the viewing medical professionals do. May I point out to these people, this is a television show. Please get a grip on reality and watch it for it's pure entertainment value.

    I hope this show has a good following and I'm already hoping for, and looking forward to, more seasons.

    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.)

    • Why is the cane on the wrong side? Is that a mistake?
