Unlike other medical dramas of its era, House set itself apart by framing its cases as mysteries and its central physician as a detective, eschewing much of the melodrama that characterizes its contemporaries. Dr. House's gruff, standoffish demeanor rarely makes him a favorite of his peers, but his undeniable medical brilliance endears him to both his patients and the show's dedicated audience.

The titular doctor's antisocial tendencies, drug addiction, and eccentric behavior were loosely inspired by Sherlock Holmes, of whom series creator David Shore is a huge fan. Shore went on to create Sneaky Pete and The Good Doctor.

The show won five Primetime Emmys during its run, and Laurie received six nominations for his portrayal of Dr. House.

The show also inspired a short-lived digital spinoff, Nurse Jeffrey, which focused on Patrick Price's Jeffrey Sparkman. The show debuted as part of a House app for iOS devices.
