House is an American medical drama television series created by David Shore for Fox. The show premiered on November 16, 2004. The series centers on Dr. Gregory House, a drug-addicted, unconventional, and misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. Dr. House is characterized by his lack of bedside manner and an acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. He deals with constant physical pain, which necessitates the use of a cane.
Despite his antisocial behavior, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and instincts have earned him significant respect. He specializes in diagnostic medicine and focuses on solving inexplicable medical cases that other doctors are unable to resolve. To assist in these diagnostic mysteries, he has assembled an elite team of young medical experts. The series explores the professional and personal dynamics of this team as they work under his leadership to solve complex cases. The show is known for the premise that everybody lies, a philosophy that often informs House's approach to his patients and his medical practice. The series ran for eight seasons, concluding on May 21, 2012.
