House emerges from a serious bus crash relatively unscathed, but unable to remember anything leading up to the accident. As the episodes' titles imply, they're a perfect one-two punch, with the first boggling your mind just in time for the second to break your heart. Viewed as a two-parter, the season four finale rivals 'Three Stories' as the show's finest hour. This was, after all, back when TV anti-heroes were still the exception rather than the rule.īut the show's blend of episodic mystery and strong character writing gathered steam, and throughout its second, third and fourth seasons House was one of the most watched programmes on US television, earning Hugh Laurie a slew of Emmy nominations - though, shamefully, never a win.īelow, Digital Spy looks back on the very best of Laurie's tormented diagnostician, naming our favourite 13 episodes in chronological order. A staggering proportion of shows that premiered that year went on to become either bona fide hits or beloved cult classics: Lost, Veronica Mars, Rescue Me, Entourage, Desperate Housewives, and a little medical drama called House, which premiered on Fox 13 years ago.Ī spiky, brainy, somewhat dark re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes starring a little-known British comedian as a very prickly leading man, the show didn't sound like anybody's idea of a guaranteed hit.
2004 was a hell of a year for US television.
