House, M.D. is a television series on the Fox Network that runs for an hour each week. It is also known as House, without the MD. The main character, House (picked because of its similarity to the last name of Sherlock Holmes) is a witty and brilliant genius of a doctor, but a man with few redeeming social graces (notably his addiction to Vicodin, along with his open atheism. The show mixes medical issues with moral and personal dilemmas and has become quite popular, in part because it often comes on after American Idol, but it has since done well on its own even when American Idol is not on. Due to sometimes graphic scenes and adult themes, the show is not recommended for children under 14.
