Meanwhile, Chase and Cameron continue to appear in different roles at the hospital.

House was among the top ten series in the United States from its second through fourth seasons. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most-watched television program in the world in On February 8, , Fox announced that the eighth season, then in progress, would be its last.

In , David Shore and Paul Attanasio , along with Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs , pitched the series untitled at the time to Fox as a CSI -style medical detective program, [6] a hospital whodunit in which the doctors investigated symptoms and their causes. After Fox picked up the show, it acquired the working title Chasing Zebras, Circling the Drain [11] " zebra " is medical slang for an unusual or obscure diagnosis, while "circling the drain" refers to terminal cases, patients in an irreversible decline.

Shore traced the concept for the title character to his experience as a patient at a teaching hospital. Jacobs later expressed her gratitude for the network's insistence that the character be reimagined—putting him on his feet added a crucial physical dimension. References to the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle appear throughout the series. James Wilson echoes that between Holmes and his confidant, Dr.

Individual episodes of the series contain additional references to the Sherlock Holmes tales. The main patient in the pilot episode is named Rebecca Adler after Irene Adler , a character in the first Holmes short story, " A Scandal in Bohemia ". The series finale also pays homage to Holmes's apparent death in " The Final Problem ", the story with which Conan Doyle originally intended to conclude the Holmes chronicles.

Moran joined the staff as writers at the beginning of the first season after the making of the pilot episode. Friend and Lerner, who are business partners, had been offered positions when the series launched, but turned the opportunity down. After observing the show's success, they accepted when Jacobs offered them jobs again the following year. From the beginning of season four, Moran, Friend, and Lerner were credited as executive producers on the series, joining Attanasio, Jacobs, Shore, and Singer.

Shore was House ' s showrunner. The show's most prolific directors through its first six seasons were Deran Sarafian 22 episodes , who was not involved in season six, and Greg Yaitanes Of the more than three dozen other directors who have worked on the series, only David Straiton directed as many as 10 episodes through the sixth season.

Hugh Laurie directed the 17th episode of season six, " Lockdown ". She writes the "Diagnosis" column that inspired House ' s premise. At first, the producers were looking for a "quintessentially American person" to play the role of House. He assembled an audition tape in a hotel bathroom, the only place with enough light, [40] and apologized for its appearance [41] which Singer compared to a " bin Laden video". Singer was very impressed by his performance and commented on how well the "American actor" was able to grasp the character.

Laurie credits the accent to "a misspent youth [watching] too much TV and too many movies". Laurie later revealed that he initially thought the show's central character was Dr. He assumed that House was a supporting part , due to the nature of the character, until he received the full script of the pilot episode. Australian actor Jesse Spencer 's agent suggested that he audition for the role of Dr. Spencer believed the program would be similar in style to General Hospital , but changed his mind after reading the scripts.

Derek Shepherd on Grey's Anatomy. Allison Cameron was a complete disaster. At the end of season three, House dismisses Chase, while Foreman and Cameron resign. Buffer" to assist in a diagnosis, House must then recruit a new diagnostic team, for which he identifies seven finalists. The producers originally planned to recruit two new full-time actors, with Foreman, who returns in season four's fifth episode , bringing the team back up to three members; ultimately, the decision was made to add three new regular cast members.

During production, the show's writers dismissed a single candidate per episode; as a result, said Jacobs, neither the producers nor the cast knew who was going to be hired until the last minute. Amber Volakis Anne Dudek , who appeared for the rest of season four as Wilson's girlfriend, [64] and in seasons five and eight as a hallucination of House's. The contracts of Edelstein, Epps, and Leonard expired at the end of season seven.

As a cost-cutting measure, the three actors were asked to accept reduced salaries. Epps and Leonard came to terms with the producers, but Edelstein did not, and in May it was announced that she would not be returning for the show's eighth season. House is often filmed using the " walk and talk " filming technique , [9] [20] popularized on television by series such as St. I'll bet you didn't know that when your kidneys shut down they sound like bubble wrap popping. The pilot episode was filmed in Vancouver ; primary photography for all subsequent episodes took place on the Fox lot in Century City, Los Angeles.

The opening sequence begins with an MRI of a head with an image of the boxed "H" from the logo the international symbol for hospital in the foreground. This is then overlaid with an image of Dr. House's face taken from the pilot episode with the show's full title appearing across his face. House's head then fades and the show's title is underlined and has the "M. This was the full extent of the title sequence in the pilot episode. Laurie's name appears first, followed by the names of the five other featured cast members in alphabetical order Edelstein, Epps, Leonard, Morrison, and Spencer , then Shore.

After the show's title fades, an aerial view of PPTH actually various Princeton University buildings, primarily Frist Campus Center [71] is followed by a series of images accompanying each member's name; most are shown next to, or superimposed upon, illustrations of human anatomy. Laurie's name appears next to a model of a human head with the brain exposed; Edelstein's name appears next to a visual effects—produced graphic of an angiogram of the heart. Epps's name is superimposed upon a rib cage X-ray; Leonard's name appears on a drawing of the two hemispheres of the brain. Morrison's title card was thus lacking an image; an aerial shot of rowers on Princeton University's Lake Carnegie was finally agreed upon to accompany her name.

Between the presentations of Spencer and Shore's names is a scene of House and his three original team members walking down one of the hospital's hallways. A new opening sequence was introduced in season seven to accommodate the changes in the cast, removing Morrison's name and including Jacobson and Wilde's.

It was updated in season eight removing Edelstein's name and added Annable and Yi. The series' original opening theme, as heard in the United States, comprises instrumental portions of " Teardrop " by Massive Attack. Gregory House , M. Most episodes revolve around the diagnosis of a primary patient and start with a cold open set outside the hospital, showing events ending with the onset of the patient's symptoms.

The team employs the differential diagnosis method, [84] listing possible etiologies on a whiteboard , then eliminating most of them, usually because one of the team most often House provides logical reasons for ruling them out. The team faces many diagnostic difficulties from patients' concealment of symptoms, circumstances, or personal histories, so House frequently proclaims during the team's deliberations, "The patient is lying", or mutters "Everybody lies"; such an assumption guides House's decisions and diagnoses, [12] and makes the countermeasure of housebreaking a routine procedure.

Because many of his hypotheses are based on epiphanies or controversial insights, he often has trouble obtaining permission for medical procedures he considers necessary from his superior, who in all but the final season is hospital administrator Dr. Frequent disagreements occur between House and his team, [88] especially Dr. Allison Cameron , whose standards of medical ethics are more conservative than those of the other characters.

Like all of the hospital's doctors, House is required to treat patients in the facility's walk-in clinic. A significant plot element is House's use of Vicodin to manage pain, caused by an infarction in the quadriceps muscle of his right leg five years before the show's first season, which also forces him to use a cane. James Wilson , to encourage him to go to drug rehabilitation several times. Throughout House ' s run, six of the main actors have received star billing.

Robert Chase Jesse Spencer , an intensivist ; and Dr. Allison Cameron Jennifer Morrison , an immunologist. Cameron, who has developed an affection for Chase, soon resigns. Under orders from Cuddy to recruit a new team, House considers 40 doctors. Chris Taub Peter Jacobson , a former plastic surgeon ; Dr. Lawrence Kutner Kal Penn , a sports medicine specialist; and Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley Olivia Wilde , an internist nicknamed for her number in the elimination contest.

In the 11th episode of season five, "Joy to the World", Foreman and Thirteen engage in a passionate kiss. In the 20th episode of season five, " Simple Explanation ", Kutner is found dead in his apartment with a gunshot wound to the head. Because Kutner left no note, House suspects foul play , though the death is accepted by the other characters as a suicide. In the seventh episode of season two, "Hunting", Cameron and Chase have a one-night stand.

Early in season seven, Thirteen takes an unexplained leave of absence. Cuddy orders House to fill her position with another woman, [] but eventually makes the choice for him: Masters Amber Tamblyn , who makes her first appearance in the season's sixth episode. They were credited as "Also Starring", with their names appearing after the opening sequence. The first six seasons of House each included one or more recurring featured characters, who appear in multiple-episode story arcs.

By the time the Vogler episodes began to air, the show had become a hit and the character was soon dropped. The audience knows he'll never get fired. Stacy Warner Sela Ward , House's ex-girlfriend, [] appears in the final two episodes of the first season, and seven episodes of season two. Michael Tritter David Morse , a police detective, appears in several season-three episodes. He tries to extract an apology from House, who left Tritter in an examination room with a thermometer in his rectum.

When the case reaches court, Cuddy perjures herself for House and the case is dismissed. The judge reprimands Tritter for pursuing House to excess, and tells House that she thinks he "has better friends than he deserves", referring to Cuddy's 11th-hour testimony on his behalf. House is sentenced to one night in jail for contempt of court and finishes his rehabilitation under the influence of Vicodin. The candidates for House's new diagnostics team are season four's primary recurring characters.

They are involved in a bus crash, which leads to her death.

She concluded, "So different is the premiere that the savvy House and Fox viewer may expect the revelation that it was all a fever dream.

I am a huge fan of medical mysteries and medical dramas, but I found it distracting to have to figure out what certain words meant, and even how to pronounce them to get through the book. The romance was good, but felt rushed towards the end. A bit more character development may have helped, but also a bit more history between the female role would have helped too.
