[eta] Oh and House was very consciously modelled on Holmes. Quite aside from the House/Holmes Wilson/Watson thing, there are numerous references to the Holmes stories throughout. The name Irene Adler (I think it was Irene), for example was the name of the only woman who got under Holmes' skin. There are a bunch of others, but I can't recall them off hand. he also follows the Holmes method of eliminating the impossible and considering that whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. His obsession, infact, with 'truth' and solving the puzzle is also very Holmes.

Initials: Watson, John & Wilson, James. House & Holmes also share at least the same house number, 221B, not sure about the street name though. Also, they share addiction, House=Vicodin, Holmes=cocaine.
