History Trivia / House

* IKnewIt: Most fans worked out pretty early on in Season 4 that Thirteen, Taub and Kutner would be the new team, as aside from them the only candidates to get even the remotest shred of character development were Amber (who was too much of a {{Jerkass}} to realistically be a long-term main cast member), Dobson (who didn't have any medical qualifications) and Cole (who was a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Foreman, and thus left redundant as soon as Cuddy re-hired Foreman).

* WorkingTitle: ''Chasing Zebras'' was an early working title for the show, after the common med-school saying "if you hear hoofbeats, you think horses, not zebras" (i.e. a simple, mundane explanation for a group of symptoms is likelier to be right than an exotic or complicated one).

* TheWikiRule: The [[http://house.wikia.com/wiki/House_Wiki House Wiki]].

* TropeNamer: For FindingJudas; this was the title of a third season episode where [[spoiler:Wilson reports House to Tritter]].

* DyeingForYourArt: Jennifer Morrison dyed her hair brown to play Dr. Cameron. On the times she's appears on the show after having stopped being a regular cast member, she's seen with her natural blonde hair.

* {{Defictionalization}} (sort of): [[http://www.princetonhcs.org/phcs-home/what-we-do/university-medical-center-of-princeton-at-plainsboro.aspx The University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro]] (opened in May 2012), which even looks somewhat like the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital. However, it has nothing to do with Princeton University (which has no medical school); it is instead loosely affiliated with the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the medical unit of Rutgers University (based in nearby New Brunswick).[[note]]Because nothing involving New Jersey medicine or education is simple, we are obligated here to state that when UMCPP opened, the medical school was the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, a federation of medical and dental schools across the state, originally associated with Seton Hall University (a private Catholic institution based in/near Newark) taken over by the state in 1965. A 2013 realignment assigned most of UMDNJ's units to Rutgers, the flagship public state university, except for the School of Osteopathic Medicine, which was assigned to Glassboro-based Rowan University as part of a bargain between Governor Chris Christie and Senate President Steve Sweeney, whose constituency includes Glassboro, to balance the interests of South Jersey. Complicated, see?[[/note]]

* NamesTheSame: Their names are spelled with one letter different, but Eric Foreman shares a name with Eric Forman of Series/That70sShow.

* McLeaned: [[spoiler:When Kal Penn left the show to serve in the Obama administration, the producers had his character, Kutner, commit suicide. Though this was due to the first reason, not because of any friction with the rest of the cast. They just wanted some drama and a VerySpecialEpisode. The director later joked that if he'd left for another acting role, the death would have been [[EroticAsphyxiation autoerotic asphyxiation]].]]

** Wait... Sir William was the energetic ButtMonkey host of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam''?!

** Detective Tritter is a sharp contrast to the soft, kindly fatherly types David Morse usually plays.

** Hugh Laurie's best friend and almost perma-collaborator Creator/StephenFry was in talks of having a role in the series following the Tritter Arc but the plan fell trough due to [[https://youtu.be/mknONiModPI?t=145 Fry's busy schedule.]]
