About House

HOUSE, an innovative take on the medical drama, solves mysteries where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.

DR. GREGORY HOUSE (Hugh Laurie), devoid of bedside manner and dealing with his own constant physical pain, uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he thrives on the challenge of solving medical puzzles in order to save lives. House has a good friend and confidant in oncology specialist DR. JAMES WILSON (Robert Sean Leonard). There's some volatile chemistry between House and DR. LISA CUDDY (Lisa Edelstein), the Dean of Medicine and hospital administrator; the two are in constant conflict over House's duties and unconventional behavior, but even she would admit that his brilliance is worth the trouble.

House shepherds an elite team of young experts who help him unravel diagnostic mysteries: plastic surgeon DR. CHRIS TAUB (Peter Jacobson), enigmatic "contestant" number Thirteen, DR. REMY HADLEY (Olivia Wilde) and enthusiastic, radical thinking DR. LAWRENCE KUTNER (Kal Penn) who join neurologist DR. ERIC FOREMAN (Omar Epps), Cuddy's eyes and ears on House. Former team members immunologist DR. ALLISON CAMERON (Jennifer Morrison) and intensivist DR. ROBERT CHASE (Jesse Spencer) no longer have to answer to House, as Cameron heads up Emergency Medicine and Chase is working in Surgery at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

HOUSE continues to garner awards from fans and critics alike: Two Emmy Awards, 15 Emmy Award nominations, the 2006 Humanitas Prize, two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Peabody Award for Best of Electronic Media, as well as a People's Choice Award for Favorite TV Drama and the Writers Guild Award for Episodic Drama.

Is House a jerk?

What's going on with House's attitude?

  • Not to worry. They need to show him at his worst before he can be sweet again.
  • What are you talking about? His behavior is unchanged.
  • This is House's new direction. Big jerk, all the time.

Can Huddy work?

Can a House/Cuddy relationship ever work, or is it doomed before it even starts?

  • oh no House in the nut house? Now what?
