medical jargon house had hidden meanings from the very beginning take the title itself in medical jargon a patient with a history of drug use or addiction is referred to as a house the acronym stands

medical jargon in dr speak a zebra is code for strange diagnosis while circling the drain means the patient is terminal hugh laurie wasn't the producer's first choice to lead the series it was the actor's unusual audition tape that won him the rule laurie was in the meepee at the time filming flight of the phoenix when he sent in a self-made and totally improvised audition tape to add to the authenticity he filmed the tape in his hotel bathroom because he said it was the only place with enough light talk about dedication [Music] house's character is based on sherlock holmes kratos made

various points he mentions watching another fox show the oc thing is house actors olivia wilde actually starred in the teen drama she played alex kelly on the oc from 2004 to 2006 before joining houzz

it i'm immensely proud to be part of it and i can't wait to see it i hope i did ride by them house was not originally supposed to focus on one main doctor before the show premiered in 2004 fox was looking for its own reliable procedural to complete with nbc's law and order and cbs's csi franchises the more i worked on it the less able i was to make it work as a procedural but the more the characters started to come alive for me creator david shaw told after the show's 100th episode aired in 2009 [Music] hugh laurie based part of his world famous character on his own father ran laurie was a british physician rowing champion and olympic gold medalist the younger laurie once said he felt guilty being paid more to become a fake version of my own father he was a very gentle soul and i

sanders who wrote a column called diagnosis in the new york times magazine the second was berton roche who wrote features pieces on unusual medical cases during his 50 years as a staff writer for the new yorker to bring it full circle sanders ended up as a technical advisor on the series hugh laurie didn't originally think house was the lead when he originally auditioned for the show hillary believed dr james wilson the role that went to robert sean leonard was the serious lead because he couldn't see how someone as unlikable as houzz would be the star in the 2005 review one writer called his character antisocial philanthropic cynical abrasive abusive smug here's why they picked the haunting theme song the theme song for houzz is teardrop by massive attack doesn't actually appear in the show until season 1 episode 9 dnr the song was chosen in part because of its thumping bead that mimics the sound a human heart makes tear drop was also used in prison break another fox series in
