Best new character: The title role on 'House,' portrayed by Hugh Laurie, a physician who's cranky, unsympathetic, dogged in the scientific pursuit of his craft, ailing himself and flush with acidic putdowns ('Humanity is overrated'). -- The Year's Best: Television, Chicago Tribune, 12/04

There's no mystery to the appeal of "House." Within the framework of a formula medical drama, Hugh Laurie has created one of the year's most fascinating new characters, a humorously acerbic, emotionally flawed doctor with little patience for his patients. - Detroit Free Press, 12/21/04

USA Today, 12/14/04: "Yet as much as I love Race, the class act in this time slot is Fox's medical mystery House. Hugh Laurie is playing one of the year's best and most novel characters: a crotchety, difficult, damaged doctor who is fascinated by disease and repelled by people. And yet so strong is Laurie's performance, and so great are his gifts as an actor and comic, that he makes this potentially repellent man appealing and oddly enough, even sexy. Who would have guessed?" -- Robert Bianco, "Watch It, Tape It, Enjoy It"
