For those who didn't get it House is just sherlock Holmes in a medicinal setting.
His friend is Wilson instead of Watson.
He is a genius, eccentric who solves mysteries using his intellect and deduction, hell he even uses drugs just like Holmes.
Which is funny because Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on a real life doctor who used deductions. It comes full circle!
If you've dealt with real doctors, you know that is high fantasy.
It's a TV show, if it wasn't fictional it would be incredibly boring.
Same way as Holmes is high fantasy to real detectives, what's your point?
My dad's last doctor was visibly drunk all the time and would unashamedly scroll through my dad's computer records during the appointment to figure out who he was talking to and what his problems were. And of course my dad loved this guy.
House/Homes/Holmes
Abode
Cuddy has A body
What she keeps in her closet is none of House's business
Holmes on homes.
That's an idea. Sherlock Holmes, but he uses his powers of deduction to renovate and flip houses on a new reality show set in rural Brittain.
And Doyle got the inspiration for Holmes from watching doctors diagnose patients
Wow he must be very rich.
My doctor's appointments more closely resemble Oliver Twist.
