Meanwhile, House realizes that he can't give up diagnostic medicine that easily and plans to get all his former fellows back together. However, in the process, Cameron questions her commitment to both Chase and House and leaves them both. Having previously fired Chase, and with Foreman and Cameron quitting, House starts a competition between forty applicants for the vacant positions. In the episode "Games", he fires Amber "Cutthroat Bitch" Volakis (Anne Dudek), hiring Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson), Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn) and Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley (Olivia Wilde) as his new team. Dr. Foreman rejoins the team after his dismissal from another hospital.[8]Meanwhile, Amber begins a relationship with Wilson. Work continues normally until Foreman, fearing that he's becoming too much like House, decides he wants to leave the hospital for good.
Hugh Laurie wasn’t the producers’ first choice to lead the series.
We soon begin to realize that although they are both reluctant to begin a romantic relationship, both want the other to be more involved in their lives. During the season, House tries to cope with his feelings for his ex-girlfriend Stacy Warner, who, after House diagnosed her husband with Acute intermittent porphyria, has taken a job in the legal department of the PPTH. House's best (and only) friend is the hospital's Head of Oncology, James Wilson, who, unlike House, is conscientious and considerate, but also extremely loyal to House. Ran Laurie was a British physician, rowing champion, and Olympic gold medallist. The younger Laurie once said he felt guilty "being paid more to become a fake version of my own father." "He was a very gentle soul and, I think, a very good doctor,” the actor told USA Today in 2004.
House (TV series)
However, House's break doesn't last long and he is soon back to solving medical mysteries. When Dr. Nolan sees that this is the only thing that takes House's mind off his pain, he agrees. At the beginning of the season, the main storyline centers around House's temporary lack of pain in his leg due to ketamine treatment after being shot in the previous season finale. Later in the season, he leaves a stubborn patient in an exam room with a thermometer in his rectum.

Recurring characters
The titular doctor's antisocial tendencies, drug addiction, and eccentric behavior were loosely inspired by Sherlock Holmes, of whom series creator David Shore is a huge fan. With prison looming, House hatches a number of crazy schemes in an attempt to stay out of jail long enough to be with Wilson during the last months of his life. However, when they all fail, he comes up with the craziest scheme yet - faking his own death.
List of episodes
Although he plans to withdraw from the practice of medicine, it appears the real co-dependent relationship is between House and the hospital. With House looking at serving at least another six months, the new Dean of Medicine, Eric Foreman approaches House with an offer to return to work. When Allison Cameron treats a party boy she experiments with Ecstacy and with Robert Chase, but immediately regrets both. Meanwhile, we learn more about the atrophied personal life of Eric Foreman where he faces the choice of either death or permanent brain damage when he catches a disease from a patient and decides to reconnect with his father. We also get a much deeper insight into House himself when his parents John House and Blythe House drop by the hospital for a visit. We also see House finding it difficult to be his usual self when Eric Foreman is ill.
Cast
After House dries out, he starts to kiss in her and it was implied that they made love afterwards. The encounter, however, was eventually revealed to be an elaborate hallucination and delusion. The fourth season of House premiered on September 25, 2007 and ended on May 19, 2008.
House wasn’t originally supposed to focus on one main doctor.
Apparently, the producers felt the show needed a cast shake up and, to be fair, the character House noted in Alone that it was strange for him to have had exactly the same staff for three straight years. In the Season 1 episode DNR, Foreman admits that he is on a three year contract, which would have ended at about the end of Season 3. Sela Ward's chemistry with Laurie in the final two episodes of Season 1 was strong enough to have her character return in seven episodes of the second season. The season gained high Nielsen ratings; No Reason was watched by 25.47 million viewers, the show's biggest audience ever at that point. Season 2 averaged 17.3 million viewers an episode, outperforming Season 1 by 30%.
Surprisingly, many musicians guest starred on House.
However, when he makes a gesture to help Cuddy, he finds his old private investigator, Lucas Douglas, has become Cuddy's boyfriend and that Cuddy was hiding that from him. After Chase recovers, he and Cameron continue with their wedding plans. Cameron reveals that she was keeping a frozen sample of her deceased first husband's sperm in case she never found a new person but still wanted to have children. Not long after Kutner's suicide, House develops severe insomnia and begins to hallucinate, seeing visions of Amber.
Executive producer Katie Jacobs explained that it was hard for the writers to finish the story arcs started during the season with eight episodes fewer. Each of the four departed the show after elimination, except for Volakis, who remained recurring until the finale, having started a relationship with Wilson. Meanwhile, with House spending more time with Wilson, the team find themselves increasingly on their own. Chase starts to take the lead on the team, but when they treat one of his rivals, a doctor who was also up for the fellowship Chase received, Chase begins to re-examine his life and decides to leave the team at the end of the case. Finally realizing that he doesn't have to be exactly like House to be a great doctor, he starts using his own strengths and solves yet another case. Foreman offers him a promotion to stay, but Chase feels that he has to get out of House's shadow once and for all and leaves the hospital.
House is sure that Cuddy is merely hopped up on the sex and good feelings that are typical early in the relationship and that she will dump him once she realizes what she's gotten herself into. Cuddy is sure that her supervisory role over House is either going to poison their relationship or ruin House's medical skills, and she's uncomfortable with many aspects of House's past, such as the prostitute he's still seeing for non-sexual purposes. House is also not certain he wants to have a role in Rachel Cuddy's life and starts to balk at the responsibility, although towards the end of the season, House and Rachel seem to share a strange bond over a cartoon about pirates. After finally realizing that his Vicodin habit is distorting his view of reality, House voluntarily enters Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital to detox. However, detoxing turns out to be the easy part - House can't get his medical license back until he's willing to admit his problems run deeper. At the same time, he falls in love, but then finds his paramour has no further interest in him.
This season is the shortest one in the whole series due to the Writer Guild of America's strike which stopped production of the series and instead of 24 episodes, 16 were finally produced. Cuddy attempts to work with House and his team to help him but she finds House is ahead of her at every turn even though he could care less about the patient. She invites him over until dinner when he begins to think that she has cancer and she never gets the courage to ask him.
When he turns to his doctor instead of Vicodin for help, Dr. Nolan realizes he's ready to return to the practice of medicine. Wilson slowly starts to recover from Amber's untimely death, but begins to reevaluate his life and to contemplate resigning from his post at the hospital. House's original regret over his role in Amber's death seems to have worn off as instead of being supportive, he merely tries to convince Wilson that he is overreacting to the situation. The fifth season of House premiered on September 16, 2008 and ended on May 11, 2009. In the finale of the previous series, House's entire team of fellows was fired or quit, leaving him without a staff.
Back in 2004, there were many different shows on the air that captured the attention of TV-watchers. Among comedies like Friends and politically-focused such as The West Wing, fans of the medial drama genre were introduced to House, a TV show that would develop a massive cult following. Time to hunker down because all eight seasons are available now on multiple platforms. The season ends with alternating shots of Cuddy, Foreman, Taub and Thirteen enjoying Cameron and Chase's wedding and Wilson driving House to a sanatorium, which House willingly enters.
With his ex gone, House's leg pain greatly increases and Wilson hopes that it means nerve regeneration, but really it is because he misses Stacy. A doctor that caught House cheating on a test nearly twenty years ago comes to the hospital to give a speech regarding a new drug. House soon exacts revenge on him by bringing the effectiveness of his "breakthrough" into question.
Laurie was in Namibia at the time filming Flight of the Phoenix when he sent in a self-made and totally improvised audition tape. To add to the authenticity, he filmed the tape in his hotel bathroom because, he said, “It was the only place with enough light.” Talk about dedication. After its first five seasons, House was included in various critics' top-ten lists; these are listed below in order of rank.
