Its main character, Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), is an unconventional, misanthropic, cynical medical genius who, despite his dependence on pain medication, successfully leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. The series' premise originated with Paul Attanasio, while David Shore, who is credited as creator, was primarily responsible for conceiving the title character.

- Robert Sean Leonard was the first actor to be cast.
- Lisa Edelstein and Peter Jacobson both played in the movie As Good as It Gets (1997) starring Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson at the same scene, sitting next to each other, years before the show even premiered.
