House M.D. Season 1
Overview
House M.D. is a 2004 medical drama television series created by David Shore for Fox. The series stars Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant, misanthropic, and unconventional diagnostician who leads a team of doctors at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. The first season introduces the character of House. He is a genius, but he is also a drug addict, a misanthrope, and a deeply unhappy man. He is based on Sherlock Holmes: he uses deductive reasoning to solve medical mysteries, he plays a musical instrument (the piano), and he has a close friend, Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), who is his only confidant. The first season follows House and his team as they solve a series of complex medical cases. House M.D. was a critical and commercial success, winning two Golden Globes and a Peabody Award.
