 | | Shortly before "House," NBC premiered "Medical Investigation," a show about medical investigators (surprise) with an ensemble cast that seemed to share a time slot with "Third Watch," an ensemble drama about firefighters, cops and several other occupations that somehow all blurred together until both shows were canceled. |
 | | In contrast, "House, M.D." (its official title) is all about this guy named House, M.D., V.I.P. and S.O.B. There are other characters on the show, including a trio of young doctors on House's team, but don't expect any of them to become his mentor and end up stealing the show. |
 | | They, along with everyone else surrounding Dr. House, spend most of their time responding to him, and the rest of their time responding to the Impossible-to-Diagnose Sick Person of the Week, who usually is too ill to do very much acting. |
