"""""""House"""" could well be one of those development stories where the operation is successful but the patient still dies. A well-made medical hour with an intriguing star, the show feels somewhat mismatched with Fox's lineup and instantly stale based on its resemblance to NBC's """"Medical Investigation,"""" which was clearly grown in the same Petri dish. Despite a strong creative pedigree, there's also cause for skepticism over whether viewers will bond with an ill-tempered doctor who makes a habit of avoiding patients, unless people are more thrilled with their HMOs than polls indicate.
British actor Hugh Laurie plays the title character, a brilliant diagnostician who regularly pops pain killers for his crippled leg (he walks with a cane) and shuns patients. Sure, there's a caring streak, but it's buried pretty deep, as House prefers the Sherlock Holmes-like sleuthing to ascertain what ails people to comforting or interacting with them.

Hard on his staff and rude to boss (Lisa Edelstein), House's turn-ons include watching soap operas and concocting elaborate excuses to avoid the clinic connected to the teaching hospital where you'll otherwise find him."""
