House, M.D.

HOUSE, the first authorized companion to the Emmy Award-winning medical drama of the same name, will be the ultimate fan and thinking persons guide to the show now. Based on unprecedented access to the actors and creative staff, including star Hugh Laurie and creator David Shore, this book contains never-before-seen photos of the cast and crew as well as a trove of insight into the characters from the actors, writers and producers who created them. Covering fascinating details about the programs genesis, the actors thoughts on the characters they portray, the producers and consultants thoughts on the controversial ethical issues that dominate each episode, this book gives readers a play-by-play of the show, taking them into the writers room and onto the set like never before. "House," the No 3 rated television program among the coveted 18-49 demographic and the top rated scripted program on Fox TV, centers around one of the most compelling characters on television, cynical geniusdoctor Gregory House (played by Hugh Laurie), who heads a team of specialists at a fictional teaching hospital in Princeton, New Jersey. In each episode, Dr. House and his team are faced with a case that at first blush seems like a slam dunk diagnosis, but that inevitably takes a turn for the obscure, and proves to be far more dramatic, keeping viewers on the edges of their seats. "House" is a medical mystery show with a veritable Sherlock Holmes at its helm who uses all pieces of medical evidence to diagnose even the most complex cases, and this book, perfectly timed to coincide with the start of season seven will be a must have for the shows devoted viewership.
