Over its seven seasons on the air, House emerged as a great drama on its own, with narcissistic comedic flair from Dr. House thrown into the mix. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) was full of himself, but he earned it with the medical gifts that he possessed. When House, which explores the life of the brilliant but troubled titular doctor, premiered on Fox in 2004, it seemed like a medical drama for folks who were tired of the overwrought plotlines that were starting to plague ER.
