Potential TV Drama...."House"

House, also known as House, M.D., is an American medical drama that debuted on the Fox network on November 16, 2004. The show was created by David Shore and executive produced by Shore and film director Bryan Singer. The show revolves around Dr. Gregory House (British actor Hugh Laurie), a cynical medical genius, who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH). Shore wrote House as a character with parallels to Sherlock Holmes — both are drug users, aloof, and largely friendless. The show's producers wanted House disabled in some way, and gave the character a damaged leg arising from an improper diagnosis.

How can we categorise House?

CSI New York

ER

House is a mixture of 'CSI' and 'ER'. It is not a crime or a hospital drama - it is the middle ground. House must investigate to find out what is wrong with his perculiar patients instead of, like a doctor, just treating them standardly.
