Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording 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.
- GoofsMultiple 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.
- Quotes
[repeated line]
Dr. Gregory House: Everybody lies.
- Crazy creditsThe Heel & Toe logo features a toy dancing couple on stage being stomped by a human's foot
- Alternate versionsThe 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.

Featured review
Great show, despite what others say, especially if a show like ER doesn't appeal to you. House is a unique character to be appreciated among the saps of TV nowadays.
I must say something to Hugh Laurie. People complain about his accent. He's English playing an American. I lived in England for a year on exchange. I'm an American. Though I'm no expert on accents, I have to say I didn't notice that Hugh Laurie had any sort of English accent. A slight accent can show if you're really looking for it, but, other than that, he's version of an American accent is great.
House is a great show, but it's not for the weak of heart or weak of stomach. It's not like ER at all. House is like the Sherlock Holmes of medicine. It's a drama without the screaming and tears.
Sorry if this is a horrible comment, but it's my first review on IMDb of a show :)
