After watching the first two seasons of this Show I am tickled at the Sherlock Holmes allusions and parrallels:
Theres Sherlock Holmes and his Doctor Friend Watson.
And House and his Doctor Friend Wilson.
(Read as HOMES/HOUSE...Watson/Wilson)
The pilot episode had a patient named Adler (after Irene Adler THE Woman a female of rival intelligence in the Homes stories)
Dr House lives at 221 B. of some unnamed street
Holmes lived at 221b Baker Street.
Holmes used narcotics, injecting cocaine and morphine.
House is addicted to vicodin and occasionally uses morphine.
Both play instruments when thinking: House a piano, Holmes a violin.
Holmes was known to upon on occasion to beat corpses with a stick to verify how far bruises may be produced after death.
House SHOT a corpse with a hollow point bullet to see what effect an MRI machine had upon the metal bullet.
Wilson has had several wives.
Watson has had several wives.
That's just a few off the top of my head I'm sure I could come up with more if I spent some time.
