House, MD
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 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 deceitful thing for Fox to do. Furthermore, due to sometimes graphic scenes and adult themes, the show is not recommended for Christan children under 16.
