Co-created by David Shore and Paul Attansio, House M.D. was first aired on Fox network in early 2004. The central character of the show is Dr. Gregory House, an unconventional medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton Hospital in New Jersey. While most of the series is set in New Jersey and campus of Princeton University, many exterior shots have been taken in University of California, Los Angeles.

The lead character “House” is a ‘Sherlock Holmes’ fan who uses psychology methods for solving various problems. In most of the episodes, his methods are focused on eliminating diagnosis of his patients. Usually at the beginning of the episode, a primary patient with his symptoms is featured. A typical episode follows various attempts by the team to diagnose and treat the patient’s illness, which unfortunately fails. House’s world-renowned department typically treats patients who receive incorrect diagnoses.

House becomes thrilling thanks to adventures inside the hospital amongst the panel of doctors and the patients. House usually arrives at the correct diagnosis in mid-conversation or is inspired by a remark made by another character. The show proceeds beyond the classic format of doctors and hospitals and describes the adventures of a brilliant physician doling out prescriptions to his patients. In the words of American film institute, “House has redefined the medical television show.”

Since its premiere, House has been consistently popular. Three seasons of house ranked in the top ten among all viewers. House reached its peak in season three, attracting an average of 19.4 million viewers per episode. House has received various awards and nominations. The show received nominations for various Golden Globe Awards in 2006 and 2007. It has also been honored by ‘The Screen Actors Guild’ as well as the ‘Emmy Award’ for being an outstanding drama series.
