That said, I like the series. It's fun to follow a central character who's not perfect in looks or personality or social adjustment, and yet is smarter than 99% of the population. Plus there's the loveliness of Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Cuddy!

I suppose you all know what famous fictional character House is modeled on, don't you?
.
I'll take a couple of stabs at it:

1. Marcus Wellby (sp?) MD

or

2. Richard Kimble?

I like the writing on House. I can't think of another show (that I watch) that is written as well with complex interactions going on with multiple characters at different levels throughout the show. House's one liners are often quite spot on as well.
