Editor's Note
Celebrated for its withering wit and complex medical mysteries, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning drama HOUSE stars Hugh Laurie as a moody, wise-cracking diagnostician with a predilection for painkillers and impossible cases. Having just lost his trio of long-suffering assistants, Dr. House begins season four on his own, and is reluctant to consider new hires. At the prodding of oncologist Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), and ever-overbearing administrator Dr. Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), he eventually takes on 40 new recruits, forcing them to compete for the three open positions via irreverent, game show-style contests. As the pool of potential employees gradually diminishes, House confronts some of his strangest cases yet in this 2007-2008 season, including an astronaut who can "see" everything she hears, a woman who believes she can communicate with the dead, and a patient who mirrors the personality of everyone he meets. House's original underlings, Drs. Chase (Jesse Spencer), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Foreman (Omar Epps), have taken positions elsewhere at the hospital, but remain near-by to help the new kids save patients and survive the surly genius's maddening whims. Mira Sorvino, Frank Whaley, and ER's Michael Michele guest star.
