This is the only TV show I'm addicted to. I was especially interested once I learned that the show creator based the character House from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle character Sherlock Holmes!
Here are some similarities:
HOLMES
- Can deduce a great deal from just looking at a person.
- Holmes' creator based the character on a doctor.
- His name sounds like "Homes".
- Sherlock Holmes fought deadly criminals.
- Used cocaine to escape boredom.
- Holmes calls even his best friend by his last name.
- Arrogant. Said humility would be a lie.
- Read the agony columns in the paper.
- Languid and lazy when not on a case.
- His closest friend had problems with a wound in his leg (although initially, the wound was in his shoulder).
- Music is very important to Holmes and he plays the violin.
- Aloof, although less so with his only friend and roommate.
- Sherlock Holmes lives at 221B Baker St.
HOUSE
- Can deduce and diagnose a great deal just from looking at a person.
- His name is another word for "Home".
- Fights deadly germs, diseases and other medical problems.
- Uses Vicodin for pain in his leg, and also for boredom and the pain of dealing with "stupid" people.
- House calls all his associates by their last names.
- Greg House is extremely arrogant.
- Watches soaps, plays video games, etc.
- Lazy until he is forced to look into something that intrigues him.
- Has a medical problem in his leg.
- Music is very important to House and he plays the piano.
- Keeps everyone except Wilson at a distance.
- In #207 "Hunting" we discover House lives at 221B — we see the number as House and Wilson leave in the morning (but we don't know the street). See a screen caption of the address clearly visible behind Wilson as he leaves House's home.
