House MD is a television show currently airing on Fox TV. The show is a medical drama featuring Dr. Gregory House, a cynical and socially inept doctor who is able to diagnose rare diseases while insulting his patients, having sex with hookers, and downing unholy quantities of Vicodin. House gets funky every episode.

[edit] Plot

The plot follows a standard procedural formula, which is to say it's the same damn thing every episode.

Dr. House works at the New Jersey Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with three other doctors who compose his diagnostic team. Every week, Team House gets a new patient presenting symptoms, and thus a new disease to diagnose. The hospital is only open for an hour every week: Formerly on Tuesdays at 9/8 Central, but recently changed to Mondays at the same time. Though a controversial move, the Hospital CEO, Mr. Leonidas Gingivitis, has assured staff and patients that "THIS IS AN INTELLIGENT AND SMART MOVE, BASED ON RECENT TELEVISION VIEWERSHIP TRENDS AND SPONSHERSHIP CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCES."

[edit] The Show's Name

The show is named House for several reasons. Reason one is that it is about Doctor House. Reason two is that often, Taub and Thirteen have to break into someone's house in order to find some sort of evidence that was left out of the medical history. Reason three is that the episode usually ends in House's house, with him drinking, popping vicodin, and/or playing his piano and hallucinating.

The 'MD' part of the current title stands for 'Must Die', as in "House Must Die." The death of House is a frequently recurring motif of the show, occuring no less than two times per season.

A popular fan tradition holds that MD actually stands for "Major Dickhead".

But if you think about medicine and doctors you will find out that M.D means Medicine Doctor.

[edit] Characters

The director of House M.D is known to have more money than God himself, which he uses to pay for the nine main characters, and two-dozen secondary characters.

The three doctors who appear in season 4 were chosen after House conducted a several-episode-long Doctor Idol to choose the best diagnosticians.

[edit] Dr. Gregory House

Doctor House is the lead doctor of the department of diagnostic medicine.

The show usually has some focus on how Dr. House deals with his pathetic excuse for a life. He is always shown to be miserable and in pain both emotional and physical. House takes prescribed Vicodin for his pain which he claims is because of a leg infarction that he sustained five freakin' years ago which leaves his leg in excruciating agony to this day. House also takes Vicodin at the drop of a hat, mostly when he has to go to clinic duty or deal with a patient. He is currently in the loony bin for thinking that he fucked Cuddy, when he actually just popped vicodin all night.

Everyone; Cuddy, Wilson, Foreman, even the fucking patients, tell House that he is a miserable old codger with an addiction and that he needs help. But instead of listening to them, House just pops another Vicodin pill and turns away their help.

House spends most of his spare time riding on his motorcycle, playing his piano, playing his guitar, drinking, having sex with hookers, and thinking up new smart-ass things to say to Cuddy, Wilson, and his team the next day.

House is a cripple and a doctor so he has the ability to park his car anywhere.

[edit] Dr. Lisa Cuddy

a.k.a. The Wicked Witch, SheDevil, a transexual "cougar". Dean Of Medicine at PPTH, Clinic Addict. Rumor has it the administrator is a stripper at night.

Dr. Cuddy's specialty is endocrinology and her sole purpose is to trick House into fucking her senseless. After five seasons and despite the fact that she's hot, Dr. Cuddy's the only character who hasn't had any sexual activity, excluding House's FAKE sex hallucination. She's practically as miserable as House - we know for a fact the do me pumps and low cut tops she's wearing daily are part of the sexual-dominance-and-frustration-competition also known as "Who's Got Who By The Balls?" between her and House. That said, it's obvious she can't wait to grease his cane. She only practices medicine on House these days. Duh! This show is a Medical Drama! - procedural; When?

[edit] Dr. Chase

An Australian doctor whom House hired under "foreigner affirmative action." Even though that doesn't exist, I am pretty sure that's what it is, because he has no freaking talent as a doctor.He's probably just hired because they have to have the pretty boy. He's actually the best diagnostician on House's team despite everything. It seems like nearly all shows do anymore. Anyway, all he is good for is running tests for House and scheduling patients for surgery. Sometimes he also tells Cuddy on House, which sets the whole damn episode back about ten minutes, or a day in New Jersey time.

Since Dr. Chase was fired from House's team in Season 3, he now works as the only surgeon at Princeton Plainsboro. We know this because ever since he started working in Surgery, he has been the only doctor seen performing surgery on patients.

[edit] Dr. Foreman

Gangsta Forman.

Also known as House Lite, Doctor Eric Foreman is a completely jaded ASSHOLE, but supposedly the best damn doctor that House has on his team, although this isn't actually true. Foreman is a neurologist who regularly stands up to House's theories and will stop at nothing to prove House wrong, and thus Foreman is often proven right. House hired Foreman because he had a criminal record. According to House, "People never change," so this means that deep down Foreman is still a gangsta.

[edit] Dr. Cameron

Sexy Cam !

Doctor Cameron is a sexy immunologist whom House hired because of her good looks. She appears to be a character whom the writers added to the show at the last minute to attract more male viewers, and occasionally help come up with the diagnoses. Despite this, she is usually too busy playing the moral high-ground to bother asserting her diagnoses, which often are correct right from the start. She's mainly portrayed as more of a mother figure towards the patients. Many fans were upset that her cleavage didn't appear more often in season four and were estatic when it returned more promenantly in season five.

Cameron has a problem with sick people. She attatches herself to them, and then watches them die. She met a cancer patient before she got the job and married him just before he died. In Season 2, she meets another cancer patient, befriends her, and ends up breaking the news that the woman has Breast Cancer and will die. Cameron is possibly a necrophiliac.

In Season 3, Cameron quit House's team, and left to put band-aids on boo-boos in the ER. She is fucking Dr. Chase, and they are now married.

[edit] Dr. Wilson

Doctor James Wilson is an oncologist, or a "cancer doctor" who is the only friend able to tolerate House's physical canings and verbal canings. Wilson is not part of House's team of three doctors, but he often helps House to find the solution to whatever House managed to screw up. Wilson is also Jewish and thus the only religious doctor on the show. Everyone else is referred to as atheists. While Wilson performs the most amazing sex in the universe, he has relational problems due to his oddly shaped penis. He finds a woman that needs him, and gives her what she needs until she gets tired of him. He feels bad, and therefore, moves to find another girl. House, however, seems to think that Wilson has a problem with love. Which is commonly believed it's because of his sexy eyebrows.

[edit] The New Team

Since everyone decided to leave House is Season 3, he has chosen a new team consisting of an ugly guy named Taub with a big nose who cheats on his wife; Thirteen, a bisexual slut who is the only person on the planet that would ever want to touch Foreman, and Kutner (the Indian now working for Obama at the White House). Dr. Foreman also returned as Dr. Cuddy's watchdog. The show also featured a manipulative bitch named Amber who got her kicks from screwing Wilson until she died from complications from a bus crash and pills.

[edit] Ships

Ships (aka relationships) are idolized by the people who obsess over this show. A 'ship' is a desired relationship between two characters on a show. Side effects/symptoms of Shipping include but are not limited to: extreme hyperventilation when a character in the certain ship appears on screen, screaming, fainting, flailing, fangirling, etc.

[edit] Controversy

Dr. House in a press conference.

• House was arrested for class three narcotics, because he was stupid enough to leave an extra large zip-lock bag full of vicodin in the open and then stick a thermometer up a cop's butt.
• Speculation that House suffers from Asperger Syndrome was dismissed when a fellow Doctor diagnosed House as really having the Manipulative Bastard Syndrome (or MBS), which is suffered by most of the living Earthlings and a large segment of the Martian population. Because MBS is an incurable disease and totally terminal within 80-100 years, House's illness automatically entitles him to a lifetime supply of slurpees, unlimited weekend minutes under any Verizon plan, and unending sympathy and forgiveness from people whose lives he has attempted to ruin.
• House suffers a 'lot of pain' due to a failed attempt to grow a third leg in his right thigh (one of his famed medical experiments, some of which won the Nobel Prize for Medicine 120 years running). As a result, House pops Vicodin like a child eating M&Ms (although he also loves M&Ms and pops them like Vicodin pills). This type of drug/chocolate abuse has not been shown on TV since Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, although Nancy Grace makes a valiant attempt to come close. House continues to make his rounds at the hospital while under the influence of Vicodin and M&Ms, and either whack people with his cane for shits and giggles or hug small adorable children just to see the smiles on their tiny cute faces, depending on which substance he's abusing at the time. The network executives are fine with this, because they, too, were high when they approved of this show.
• There is a black doctor named Dr. Bling. He brings considerable street cred to the show and constantly wows his white colleagues with his mad street skillz such as dissembling and reassembling the MRI machines into shopping carts and back, with plenty of extra parts to build vending machines and microwaves for the hospital every time.
• House will often cure incurable diseases like obesity, schizophrenia, ALS and, in some cases necrophilia but, due to the all-powerful nature of Mick Jagger's unholy influence on this world, never revo-necrophilia.
• Hugh Laurie was actually born in Russia, but uses a perfect British accent taught to him by the KGB for all public interviews. He flawlessly renders what a Russian thinks a Briton thinks an American sounds like for the show, and has brain washed most Americans into thinking that an American accents contains (a) a lisp (b) over-enunciation of the names of any and all STDs and (c) free hooker jokes precisely every third sentence. In Episode 1x6 "The Socratic Method", House imitates a British doctor when making a phone call, and Laurie cleverly makes that sound like what a Briton believes an American who imitates a Briton would sound like to a Russian.
• Princeton Plainsboro's Dean of Medicine, Doctor Lisa Cuddy, M.D., has breasts. The precise number of her breasts has been constantly disputed within the canon of the show, and has spun vast conspiracy theories and a cult worshiping her many-breasted form (action figures and idols available on FoxTv.com).
• That Dr. House is God. Or is God Dr. House? Do we care? We just like to watch Dr. House pop pills and sexually frustrate Dr. Cuddy.

[edit] Medical Accuracy

House MD's opening sequence, before the "reimagining."

House MD is definitely one of the most accurate medical series currently on TV. Praised for its accuracy by professionals of medicine worldwide, and is currently being taught in place of textbooks in both Harvard and Johns Hopkins med schools. The show even takes in mind the fact that in Princeton, New Jersey, over 90% of all illnesses are caused by blood clots, and a flatline doesn't actually look like a straight line (this has to do with the chemicals in the water and a special genetic defect the population suffers from being in close proximity with the true awesomeness that is House). Some episodes are based on real life cases of rabies, leprosy, black death and dementia outbreaks from the neglected suburban streets of Princeton, and have won several documentary Emmy Awards for their realistic and sensitive portrayal of these disease that have been forgotten by the media due to a vast government conspiracy to convince people that water in New Jersey is safe to drink.

All kinds of doctors from pediatricians to neurologists to surgeons have praised the show's accuracy. "It's just like a real hospital," said Susan Cutler, surgeon. "Patients always come in with extremely rare diseases, never the common ones. For example, on House, and in the hospital I am staffed at, there are thousands of patients coming in with ultra-rare illnesses like meningitis and rabies and the Black Plague. In fact, if it's a common disease, we tell the patients to stop wasting our time and to take care of the problem with tools they have available at home, such as chain saws."

Perhaps, the most medically accurate House episode to date was the episode entitled "6-Year-Old Girl With the Ailments of a 60-Year-Old." After that episode aired, a scandalized nation found out from a tearful public address that President George W. Bush and both of the final 2008 presidential candidates all had this disease when they were little girls, but were afraid of coming out with the truth due to the stigma attached to men having little girl diseases. For the show's brave confrontation of a serious social and medical issue, it was awarded the medal of the Legion of Honor, a cash award originally found by the French government in the wild forests of Versailles that was later stolen by the British and even later than that, captured by the American Founding Fathers at the Battle of Gettysburg. House staff members keep the USD 3.00 award money (adjusted for inflation and after taxes) in a secret fund that they use to hire guest stars of such calibers as Victim #5 on episode 3,498,394 of Law and Order: SVC.

[edit] To be confused with

Some people confuse this show with a programming drama called Mouse HD, in which a 1337 group of data entry personnel is tasked with saving the entire network's hard drives... using only a mouse.

There is also a series of movies by the name of House (1986, jackasses), but when I try to talk about it, write fan fiction about it, etc. people always get it confused with the brooding doctor show. This is House dammit!

[edit] "House" Drinking Game

Dr. House from the show House, that takes place in a House, with flashy light thingies and an infinite supply of LP needles.

Medical students worldwide often watch episodes of House and imbibe drinks according to the following schedule:

• When the opening theme shows, chug a beer. If you finish it before the end of the song, chug another.
• When Lupus (or vasculitis, or sarcoidosis) is first suggested, take a shot of whiskey
• When Lupus (or vasculitis, or sarcoidosis) is ruled out, typically in the very next scene, take another shot of whiskey
• When the Lumbar Puncture is performed, take a shot of vodka, which closely resembles spinal fluid (extra sip if they use the cool acronym "LP", or express doubts about the safety of doing an "LP")
• Every time the patient has a seizure, do a shot of Tequila. Continue doing shots until either the patient's seizure ends or you begin to have one yourself.
• When they break into the patient's house, chug a screw driver, since screw drivers are useful tools for breaking into houses.
• Whenever Chase's idea is mocked, drown his sorrows in whiskey
• If someone asks House if he's a real doctor, do a whiskey.
• Every time House breaks the Hippocratic Oath, take three shots of vodka.
• Every time the patient vomits blood, drink a Bloody Mary, allowing some to dribble out of your mouth as appropriate.
• Every time House makes a joke about Dr. Cuddy's breasts, suckle up to a Bailey's Irish Creme (or Angel's Nipple)
• Whenever Cameron suggests that it's autoimmune, take a shot of whiskey.
• Whenever House tricks a patient, switch someone's drink.
• Whenever House insults a patient about something they can't help (i.e., "Why did you HAVE to make your liver fail on my day off?"), take a shot of J.D.
• Whenever House looks at a horrifying skin burn or mutation, and says "cool", take a shot of tequila w/ice.
• Whenever House listens to a theory, then calls the doctor in question an idiot, take a shot of whiskey.
• Whenever House either writes on the whiteboard, or crosses something off the whiteboard, do a shot of whiskey.
• Whenever Foreman suggests that it's neurological, take a shot of vodka
• Whenever Chase suggests that it's heart-related, take a shot of whatever your last shot was.
• When House has a stare into the distance moment (brainwave), celebrate with a mug of Whiskey.
• If you're still able to MOVE by the end of the show, chug another beer during the end credits.

For expert players only:

• Every time House takes a Vicodin, you take a Vicodin
• Instead of taking a shot of vodka for lumbar punctures, give yourself a "puncture" of heroine, instead.

Most players make it to about scene three before passing out, and no one has ever made it to the end credits without suffering liver failure, seizures, or other medical conditions requiring a lumbar puncture.

[edit] Season 5 Finale

On April 1, 2009 Lisa Cuddy was caught having sex with Renee from 24 by Barack Obama. Obama used it to blackmail Cuddy into killing Kutner so he could use his dead body as Deputy Liason Officer, no one seems to understand why an actor would be qualified for this position. Cuddy broke into Kutner's apartment using techniques Foreman had taught her a few years back. She killed him with her own gun and put a piece of tape on the gun reading "Kutner's Gun" to throw police off (clever bitch got that idea from Amber). House almost caught a wiff of Cuddy's plan, but she dosed his vicodin with milk from her breasts left over from the whore babies shes been secretly having for the past 9 years. This caused House to halucinate crazy shit and nearly kill Chase. She also used this wacked out state for her own personal use, fucking House's brains out all night long. When she was done she was confronted by Wilson, who witnessed the whole thing via cameras he installed in all of House's rooms so he could watch House masturbate and do so himself, you bet he was pissed. Cuddy then revealed her true form, a big and scary monster that looked a lot like the aliens from the original War of the Worlds. She ate Wilson's heart, much like Christina does on Grey's Anatomy, and replaced it with a robotic control system that she used to spy on House at all times. Cuddy thought she had won, until she realized she was late for Cameron's funeral, as well as Kutner's wedding to Chase, so Foreman came to her house to look for her and witnessed her playing with Wilson's heart and licking it. Foreman then ran like a scared bitch, Cuddy tried to chase after him, but, being black, Foreman out-ran her. Foreman then told everyone and they got über mad at Cuddy. She then says, "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their stupid mutt too." Then everyone forgets about it and they dance to Britney Spears's 'Circus'. House then woke up in a nut-house, he was halucinating again . . . .

[edit] Other Stuff About the Show

This is like a trivia section, except it has paragraphs and professional-looking quotations. So it's a Super-trivia section!!!

• It has been been the talk of all the "gossip" news shows that Fox and VH1 are creating a reality show called "Dr. House of Love".

New York, NY.... Viacom/VH1 announces a new TV reality show where they find "love" for Dr. House. You have to pass the brutal screenings of Dr. Cuddy and Wilson. One of your main competitors is 13. Other requirements include: getting "shocked" by Kutner (who is dead, but will make special appearances for this show), scheduled MRI screening and riding on Dr. House's motorcycle. Show details are forthcoming. Please contact Viacom/VH1 (hookers and strippers are welcomed) on how to apply to be on Dr. House of Love.

[edit] Popular Illnesses

Lupus was so spectacular that the show now plans to use Vaculitis as comic relief in the form of clinic patients having this disease at least every other episode. In fact an interview with the cast at the House MD Convention 2008: Tellahasse Tour Redux indicated "Ugly Patient Udder Syndrome" is a very popular disease for patients to have on the show, but true to its name, is limited to only ugly patients. Symptoms vary from patient to patient, with the most common being udder-like boobs (literally like udders in the sense that patients would get four to six nipples with black and white fur, so that they look like milk cows.

“It's ALWAYS Lupus or Cancer; WHY do we even bother with this show?!”

~ House MD on auto-immune disorders

Vasculitis, Latin for "Exploding Eyeball Disease," has only been suffered by one patient on the show so far, but the special effects for the symptom (exploding bloody testicles) show that Vasculitis may replace Lupus as the "It" disease of the show. But there was widespread objection to that proposal due to the fact that a surprising number of people enjoy seeing women with more than two breasts each on national TV and has built major religions in the United States based on this type of breast-obsession (see Buddhism). The show attempted to have a spin-off of the disease called "Exploding Ball Disease," but it was considered too traumatic for male viewers and was reported to have caused seizures in a number of younger male with personality defects. Due to this problem, the episode containing the Exploding Ball Disease is currently banned in 140 countries around the world and classified as Weapon of Mass Destruction by the CIA.

[edit] MRIs

MRIs are incredibly useful tools in the House universe; not only can they be used to cook enitre turkeys for the hospital Thanksgiving/Christmas parties, they can also be used to give staff members temporary superpowers such as laser-vision (one of the surgeons uses this awesome characteristic of MRIs to perform free lasik surgery as a part of the hospital's employee benefits program). Sometimes, as a practical joke on House, Wilson uses an MRI machine to transform himself into a woman hooker so that he could have sex with his best friend. The only person who knows Wilson's secret is Cuddy, but Wilson has blackmailed her into silence by threatening to tell her lesbian lover (mentioned above as Renee from 24) that she used to be a man.

[edit] STDs

In the House universe, everyone humps like bunnies (literally, as most people on the show have abundant body hair and wear bunny ears in the bedroom) and passes around STDs like breath mints. Any halfway attractive patient House treats has some form of STD (ugly people are exempt because they are shunned as totally un-humpable). Thus everyone on the show continuously tries to get as many forms of STDs as possible as social status symbols affirming their respective attractiveness levels. The highest level attained was by Dr. Wilson, when he finally succeeded in seducing a female chimpanzee at the Princeton Zoo and promptly contracted a rare form of African-Nile-Grab-Crotch-Disease which forced him to spend most of his time with his hand on his crotch and which made him absolutely irrisistable to every female within a 50-mile radius, up to and including certain species of cockroach. It was said that much of the tension coming from Wilson and House's friendship also relates to House's secret wish that he shared his friend's STD level and, therefore, sexual attractiveness; this accounts for the fact that House constantly tries to exchage spit and other bodily fluids with his friend 25 hours a day, 8 days a week.
