Comment

As someone who never watched this show,just a suggestion: much is made of †he resemblance of the title character to Sherlock Holmes, but may I remind everyone that Holmes himself was partly based on a real Scottish doctor, Joseph Bell and I think the show's creators must have been aware of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bell Ed (talk) 18:37, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a reference that says the creators based House on Joseph Bell then please add it. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 21:27, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

new bollywood show that resembles house

there is a new bollywood show that greatly resembles House M.D.

Cant find any evidence online that its an official remake for Indian audience but still might be worth a mention

Show name: Dr. Ram

trailer: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseMD/comments/8wwoev/so_theyre_making_a_house_md_ripoff_in_india/

episodes: https://www.mazhavilmanorama.com/videos/playlists/drram.html

We can't mention it (because of WP:NOR) unless you can find a citation for this. --Yamla (talk) 10:11, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/malayalam/does-dr-ram-live-up-to-dr-houses-expectations/articleshow/65185652.cms

Is that enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7C2F:E000:8976:E62:FE97:C7A0 (talk) 10:49, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Comparing House MD and Dr Ram is unfair", "A lot of aspects about Dr House were stripped", etc. Seems to me, this would be a reasonable citation indicating the shows are not a remake. Regardless, it makes no claim about it being an official remake so no, this is unsuitable. --Yamla (talk) 14:24, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change name to House M.d.

IMDB and cover art calls the show House M.D. That is the name of the TV show. We chilled change the name of the article to House M.D. Warmallis0n (talk) 21:36, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was discussed to death a long time ago. Search the talk archives. - Seasider53 (talk) 10:45, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting incorrect reference

The statement that "Wilson's address is also 221B." is incorrect. The writer references the episode "Hunting"; near the beginning of that episode, House and Wilson are outside House's apartment building which is marked as 221B. Wilson's apartment/house is not shown in that episode. 2600:4040:2DBD:DD00:95B9:2373:D910:7DE5 (talk) 14:36, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
