[edit] Trivia

• The hospital at which the series is set is the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, a fictional hospital in New Jersey.

• The main title theme is a sample from the song "Teardrop" by Massive Attack.

• David Shore has claimed that much of the character of House was inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic hero Sherlock Holmes. The comparison goes beyond the names "House" and "Holmes" and the brilliant minds balanced with disagreeable attitudes. Both are addicted to narcotics (House to Vicodin; Holmes to cocaine and opium), both have best friends with suspiciously similar names who ground them to the concerns of ordinary humans (Dr. James Wilson for House; Dr. John Watson for Holmes), both play a musical instrument (House the piano; Holmes the violin) and both have mysterious love interests in their pasts (Stacy Warner is to House as Irene Adler is to Holmes). In 2x07 - Hunting, it is even revealed that Dr. House's apartment number is 221B, a reference to Holmes' famous address at 221B Baker Street. Shore has also said he chose the title House (as opposed to such alternatives as Chasing Zebras) because he preferred the Holmes reference. In fact, Doyle's inspiration for Holmes was a doctor whom he met while in the British military, who could supposedly diagnose patients without even meeting them, leading some to claim that House was not based on Holmes, but rather, Holmes was based on a real-life House. (See also: House, M.D./Gregory House.)

• Exterior shots of the hospital are the Frist Campus Center at Princeton University in Princeton, NJ.

• Both Hugh Laurie and Jesse Spencer are the sons of real-life doctor fathers. Spencer's two older brothers and younger sister are also all doctors.
