House, also known as House, M.D., is an American medical drama, that debuted on FOX. The show was created by David Shore and executive producer Bryan Singer. House stars English actor Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House. Dr. Gregory House is a medical genius who is in charge of a team of diagnosticians at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Most episodes start out with a medical trauma somewhere outside the hospital, showing the events leading to the onset of symptoms for the episodes main patient. The show follows the diagnostic team in their attempts to diagnose and treat the patients illness. Because House's medical theories about the patients illness are often controversial, he often has trouble getting permission from his boss, hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy, to perform medical procedures he thinks are necessary. Cuddy also requires House to spend time treating patients in the hospitals walk-in clinic, so that the interactions will improve House's bedside manner. House's creative methods of avoiding this duty is the subplot of the show.
