| − | '''House MD''' is a television series on the [[Fox Network]] that runs for an hour each week. It is also known as '''House''', without the MD. The main character, House (picked because of its similarity to the last name of [[Sherlock Holmes]]) is a witty and brilliant genius of a [[doctor]], but a man with few redeeming social graces. The show mixes medical issues with moral and personal dilemnas and has become quite popular, in part because it often comes on after [[American Idol]], but it has since done well on its own even when American Idol is not on. Due to sometimes graphic scenes and adult themes, the show is not recommended for children under 14. | + | '''House MD''' is a television series on the [[Fox Network]] that runs for an hour each week.

The main character, House (picked because of its similarity to the last name of [[Sherlock Holmes]]) is a grumpy, antagonistic [[atheist]] [[doctor]] with few redeeming social graces. The show mixes medical issues with moral and personal dilemnas and has become quite popular, in part because it often comes on after [[American Idol]], but it has since done well on its own even when American Idol is not on. Despite Dr House's moral and religious failings he is preseted as the 'hero', a very [[liberal]] and [[deceit]]ful thing for Fox to do. Furthermore, due to sometimes graphic scenes and adult themes, the show is not recommended for [[Christan]] children under 16. |
