}}</ref> is the first episode of the television series ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''. The episode premiered on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network on November 16, 2004. It introduces the character of Dr. [[Gregory House]] (played by [[Hugh Laurie]])—a maverick antisocial doctor—and his team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro [[Teaching Hospital]] in [[New Jersey]]. The episode features House's attempts to diagnose a kindergarten teacher after she collapses in class.
''House'' was created by [[David Shore]], who got the idea for the curmudgeonly title character from a doctor's visit. Initially, producer [[Bryan Singer]] wanted an American to play House, but British actor Hugh Laurie's audition convinced him that a foreign actor could play the role. Shore wrote House as a character with parallels to [[Sherlock Holmes]]—both are drug users, aloof, and largely friendless. The show's producers wanted House handicapped in some way and gave the character a damaged leg arising from an improper diagnosis.
The episode received generally positive reviews; the character of House was widely noted as a unique aspect of the episode and series, though reviewers such as Sherwin Nuland of ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' believed that such a cruel character would not be tolerated in real life. Other complaints with the episode included stereotyped supporting characters and an implausible premise. The initial broadcast of "Pilot" was watched by approximately seven million viewers, making it the 62nd-most-watched show of the week.<ref name="viewer"/>
== Plot ==
Shortly after the start of class, kindergarten teacher Rebecca Adler ([[Robin Tunney]]) becomes [[dysphasia|dysphasic]], falls to the floor, and experiences seizures. Dr. [[James Wilson (House)|James Wilson]] ([[Robert Sean Leonard]]) attempts to convince the misanthropic Gregory House to treat Adler, but House dismisses him, believing that the case would be boring. When Wilson claims that the patient is his<!--House's or Wilson's?--> cousin, House agrees to take the case. Hospital administrator Dr. [[Lisa Cuddy]] ([[Lisa Edelstein]]) approaches House in the elevator and attempts to persuade him to fulfill his duties at the hospital's walk-in clinic, a task House loathes because the cases are usually simplistic. House refuses, claiming that Cuddy cannot fire him due to tenure, and hurriedly leaves. When House's team attempts to perform an [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] on Adler, they discover that House's authorization for diagnostics has been revoked; Cuddy restores his authorization in exchange for his working at the clinic.
Adler's throat closes up during the MRI, prompting two members of House's team, Dr. [[Robert Chase]] ([[Jesse Spencer]]) and Dr. [[Allison Cameron]] ([[Jennifer Morrison]]), to perform a [[tracheotomy]]. Working in the hospital's clinic, House treats a ten-year-old boy whose mother allows him to use his [[asthma]]tic [[inhaler]] only intermittently instead of daily as prescribed. House scolds the mother for making such a drastic medical decision without first learning more about asthma. During his monologue, House stumbles on an idea and leaves quickly to treat Adler; he diagnoses her with cerebral [[vasculitis]], despite having no proof. House treats Adler with steroids, which improves her condition greatly for a time; however, she soon becomes even more ill than before.
On House's insistence, neurologist Dr. [[Eric Foreman]] ([[Omar Epps]]) and Cameron break into Adler's house to find anything that might account for Adler's symptoms—seizures, dysphasia, and airway constriction. They find an opened package of non-[[Kashrut|kosher]] ham in Adler's kitchen, leading Foreman to reveal that Wilson had lied to House to convince him to treat Adler: Wilson is Jewish, and Jews eat only kosher meat. House dismisses the lie and concludes that Adler is suffering from [[cysticercosis]] due to eating undercooked pork; when the [[Cestoda|tapeworm]] inside of her reproduced, its larvae were absorbed into her blood stream, infesting her brain. Adler, wishing to die with dignity, refuses to accept more treatments unless there is evidence that the diagnosis is correct, but House attempts to persuade her otherwise. During the conversation, Adler asks for the cause of the limp in House's right leg. House reveals he had an [[infarction]] in his thigh muscles that led to muscle death, which could have been avoided if his doctor had made the correct diagnosis. House continues, claiming that death is ugly and that Adler cannot die with dignity, but she still refuses treatment. House is ready to dismiss the case when Chase provides an idea for noninvasive evidence of Adler's tapeworm infection; by taking an [[X-ray]] of her leg, House proves that Adler is infested with tapeworms and her condition is treatable. After seeing the evidence, Adler happily agrees to take her medication to kill the tapeworms.

=== Conception and filming ===
[[File:David Shore Cropped.jpg|thumb|left|Series creator [[David Shore]] wrote the pilot with a vivid memory of a doctor's visit.|160px]]
Series creator David Shore traced the concept for ''House'' to his background as a patient at a teaching hospital. Shore recalled that "I knew, as soon as I left the room, they would be mocking me relentlessly [for my cluelessness...] and I thought that it would be interesting to see a character who actually did that before they left the room."<ref name="hulu-developing the concept">{{cite web|author=Shore, David|year=2006|url=http://www.hulu.com/watch/21606/house-house---developing-the-concept#s-p2-st-i1|title=Developing The Concept|work=[[Hulu.com]]|publisher=[[The Paley Center for Media]]|accessdate=2008-09-16}}</ref> In 2004, Shore and executive producers Katie Jacobs and Paul Attanasio pitched ''House'' to Fox as a medical detective show—a hospital [[whodunit]] where the doctors would be the sleuths looking for the source of symptoms. The ideas behind House's character were added after FOX bought the show.<ref name="u of t">{{cite web|author=Gibson, Stacy|year=2008|month=Winter|url=http://www.magazine.utoronto.ca/08winter/david_shore.asp|title=The House that Dave Built|publisher=[[University of Toronto|University of Toronto Magazine]]|accessdate=2008-09-28}}</ref> Shore wrote the pilot with a vivid memory of a doctor's visit:<ref name="EW1" /> he once had to wait two weeks to get a doctor's appointment for a sore hip, by which point his pain had disappeared. Nevertheless, Shore stated that the doctors were "incredibly polite". Shore later stated that, as he wrote the pilot, he fell in love with a character who, as a doctor, would actually ask the question "Why am I wasting your time?".<ref name="EW1">{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1043940,00.html|title=Dr. Feelbad|publisher=''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''|date=2005-04-08|author=Jensen, Jeff|accessdate=2008-12-07}}</ref>
A central part of the show's premise was that the main character would be handicapped. The initial idea was for House to use a wheelchair,<ref>{{cite news|author=Carter, Bill|date=2007-01-30|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/30/arts/television/30hous.html/?_r=1|title=‘House,’ Already Strong, Gets a Boost|work=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=2009-02-09}}</ref> but Fox turned down this interpretation (for which the crew was later grateful). The wheelchair idea turned into a scar on House's face, which later turned into a bad leg necessitating use of a cane.<ref name="int-disability">{{cite web|author=Shore, David; Jacobs, Katie|year=2006|url=http://www.hulu.com/watch/21680/house-house---houses-disability#s-p2-st-i1|title=House's Disability|work=[[Hulu.com]]|publisher=[[The Paley Center for Media]]|accessdate=2008-09-16}}</ref> The original script called for House to be 34 years old, however, Shore later explained that he did not want the character to be that young.<ref name="BTVLaurie" />
The episode was written by the series creator David Shore,<ref name="torontosun-laurie"/> and was shot in Canada; later episodes would be shot on soundstages in California.<ref>{{cite web|author=Staff|date=2006-01-29|url=http://www.etonline.com/tv/2006/01/35979/index.html|title=Behind the Scenes of 'House'|publisher=[[Entertainment Tonight]]|accessdate=2008-09-17 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20080710072927/http://www.etonline.com/tv/2006/01/35979/index.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2008-07-10}}</ref> Shore said that the writings of [[Berton Roueché]], a ''[[The New Yorker]]'' staff writer who chronicled intriguing medical cases, inspired the plots for "Pilot" and other early episodes.<ref name="u of t"/>
=== Casting ===
[[File:Bryan Singer.2776.jpg|thumb|Producer [[Bryan Singer]] initially thought actor Hugh Laurie was American.]]
Producer Bryan Singer originally demanded that an American actor play the role of House; according to Singer, the more foreign actors he watched audition for the part, the more sure he was that an American was needed. At the time of casting, Hugh Laurie was filming the movie ''[[Flight of the Phoenix (2004 film)|Flight of the Phoenix]]''. He put together an audition tape in a Namibian hotel bathroom, the only place with enough light,<ref>{{cite news|author=Keveney, Bill|date=2004-11-16|title=Hugh Laurie gets into 'House'|url=http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2004-11-15-hugh-laurie_x.htm|work=[[USA Today]]|accessdate=2008-10-26}}</ref> and apologized for its appearance (which Singer compared to a "[[Osama bin Laden|bin Laden]] video").<ref name="torontosun-laurie"/> Laurie improvised by using an umbrella for a cane.<ref name="BTVLaurie">{{cite news|url=http://www.buddytv.com/articles/house/how-hugh-laurie-got-into-house-20722.aspx|title=How Hugh Laurie Got into 'House'|publisher=[[BuddyTV]]|date=2008-06-24|author=DeLeon, Kris|accessdate=2008-12-11}}</ref> Singer was impressed by Laurie's performance and commented on how well the "American actor" grasped the character, not realizing Laurie is British.<ref name="hulu-developing the concept"/>
Laurie initially believed that House was merely the "sidekick" of Wilson, because the script referred to Wilson as a doctor with "boyish" looks. Laurie did not realize that House was the protagonist until he read the full teleplay.<ref name="Inside">{{cite episode |title=Hugh Laurie Interview |episodelink= |series=Inside the Actor's Studio |serieslink= |credits= |network=[[Bravo (US TV channel)|BRAVO Network]] |station= |airdate=2006 |season=12 |seriesno= |number=189 |minutes= }}</ref> According to Shore, "it's easy to make an asshole character unlikable. What's tricky is to make them watchable. And Hugh came in and brought everything that
was there to the part, the nastiness, the not politically correct stuff. And yet you wanted to watch him, you wanted to spend time with him."<ref name="torontosun-laurie">{{cite news|author=Brioux, Bill|date=2004-11-14|title=Compelling 'House' Doctor|work=[[The Toronto Sun]]|page=TV2}}</ref>
Similarities between House and the famous fictional detective [[Sherlock Holmes]] appear in the pilot; Shore explained that he was always a fan of Holmes, and found the character's traits of indifference to his clients unique.<ref name="hulu-developing the concept"/> House and Holmes have only one real friend (Wilson and Watson, respectively) who connects the cerebral hero to human concerns. This Holmes and Watson dynamic was something the producers were looking for in the characters of House and Wilson, especially in terms of chemistry.<ref>{{cite news | author=Werts, Diane | title = 'House' thrives with inspiration from Sherlock Holmes | work = [[The Philadelphia Inquirer]] | date = 2006-09-04 | accessdate = 2006-12-30}}</ref>
Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. James Wilson) read the pilot scripts to ''[[Numb3rs]]'' and was planning to audition for the part, but was drawn to auditioning for ''House'' because he enjoyed the role of being "the guy [the protagonist] counts on", as well as the similarities to Sherlock Holmes.<ref>{{cite web|author=Leonard, Robert|year=2006|url=http://www.hulu.com/watch/21682/house-house---robert-sean-leonard-on-his-audition#s-p1-st-i1|title=Robert Sean Leonard On His Audition|work=[[Hulu.com]]|publisher=[[The Paley Center for Media]]|accessdate=2008-09-16}}</ref> Leonard felt he did not audition well, and thought his long friendship with Singer helped land him the role.<ref>{{cite web|author=Wolk, Josh|date=2007-07-03|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20044586,00.html|title=A Summer Away from the 'House'|work=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|accessdate=2008-09-18}}</ref> When asked in an interview why his character would ever be friends with House, Leonard replied:

}}</ref> is the first episode of the television series ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''. The episode premiered on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network on November 16, 2004. It introduces the character of Dr. [[Gregory House]] (played by [[Hugh Laurie]])—a maverick antisocial doctor—and his team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro [[Teaching Hospital]] in [[New Jersey]]. The episode features House's attempts to diagnose a kindergarten teacher after she collapses in class.
''House'' was created by [[David Shore]], who got the idea for the curmudgeonly title character from a doctor's visit. Initially, producer [[Bryan Singer]] wanted an American to play House, but British actor Hugh Laurie's audition convinced him that a foreign actor could play the role. Shore wrote House as a character with parallels to [[Sherlock Holmes]]—both are drug users, aloof, and largely friendless. The show's producers wanted House handicapped in some way and gave the character a damaged leg arising from an improper diagnosis.
The episode received generally positive reviews; the character of House was widely noted as a unique aspect of the episode and series, though reviewers such as Sherwin Nuland of ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' believed that such a cruel character would not be tolerated in real life. Other complaints with the episode included stereotyped supporting characters and an implausible premise. The initial broadcast of "Pilot" was watched by approximately seven million viewers, making it the 62nd-most-watched show of the week.<ref name="viewer"/>
== Plot ==
Shortly after the start of class, kindergarten teacherPENIS Rebecca Adler ([[Robin Tunney]]) becomes [[dysphasia|dysphasic]], falls to the floor, and experiences seizures. Dr. [[James Wilson (House)|James Wilson]] ([[Robert Sean Leonard]]) attempts to convince the misanthropic Gregory House to treat Adler, but House dismisses him, believing that the case would be boring. When Wilson claims that the patient is his<!--House's or Wilson's?--> cousin, House agrees to take the case. Hospital administrator Dr. [[Lisa Cuddy]] ([[Lisa Edelstein]]) approaches House in the elevator and attempts to persuade him to fulfill his duties at the hospital's walk-in clinic, a task House loathes because the cases are usually simplistic. House refuses, claiming that Cuddy cannot fire him due to tenure, and hurriedly leaves. When House's team attempts to perform an [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] on Adler, they discover that House's authorization for diagnostics has been revoked; Cuddy restores his authorization in exchange for his working at the clinic.
Adler's throat closes up during the MRI, prompting two members of House's team, Dr. [[Robert Chase]] ([[Jesse Spencer]]) and Dr. [[Allison Cameron]] ([[Jennifer Morrison]]), to perform a [[tracheotomy]]. Working in the hospital's clinic, House treats a ten-year-old boy whose mother allows him to use his [[asthma]]tic [[inhaler]] only intermittently instead of daily as prescribed. House scolds the mother for making such a drastic medical decision without first learning more about asthma. During his monologue, House stumb
CUMles on an idea and leaves quickly to treat Adler; he diagnoses her with cerebral [[vasculitis]], despite having no proof. House treats Adler with steroids, which improves her condition greatly for a time; however, she soon becomes even more ill than before.
On House's insistence, neurologist Dr. [[Eric Foreman]] ([[Omar Epps]]) and Cameron break into Adler's house to find anything that might account for Adler's symptoms—seizures, dysphasia, and airway constriction. They find an opened package of non-[[Kashrut|kosher]] ham in Adler's kitchen, leading Foreman to reveal that Wilson had lied to House to convince him to treat Adler: Wilson is Jewish, and Jews eat only kosher meat. House dismisses the lie and concludes that Adler is suffering from [[cysticercosis]] due to eating undercooked pork; when the [[Cestoda|tapeworm]] inside of her reproduced, its larvae were absorbed into her blood stream, infesting her brain. Adler, wishing to die with dignity, refuses to accept more treatments unless there is evidence that the diagnosis is correct, but House attempts to persuade her otherwise. During the conversation, Adler asks for the cause of the limp in House's right leg. House reveals he had an [[infarction]] in his thigh muscles that led to muscle death, which could have been avoided if his doctor had made the correct diagnosis. House continues, claiming that death is ugly and that Adler cannot die with dignity, but she still refuses treatment. House is ready to dismiss the case when Chase provides an idea for noninvasive evidence of Adler's tapeworm infection; by taking an [[X-ray]] of her leg, House proves that Adler is infested with tapeworms and her condition is treatable. After seeing the evidence, Adler happily agrees to take her medication to kill the tapeworms.

=== Conception and filming ===
[[File:David Shore Cropped.jpg|thumb|left|Series creator [[David Shore]] wrote the pilot with a vivid memory of a doctor's visit.|160px]]
Series creator David Shore traced the concept for ''House'' to his background as a patient at a teaching hospital. Shore recalled that "I knew, as soon as I left the room, they would be mocking me relentlessly [for my cluelessness...] and I thought that it would be interesting to see a character who actually did that before they left the room."<ref name="hulu-developing the concept">{{cite web|author=Shore, David|year=2006|url=http://www.hulu.com/watch/21606/house-house---developing-the-concept#s-p2-st-i1|title=Developing The Concept|work=[[Hulu.com]]|publisher=[[The Paley Center for Media]]|accessdate=2008-09-16}}</ref> In 2004, Shore and executive producers Katie Jacobs and Paul Attanasio pitched ''House'' to Fox as a medical detective show—a hospital [[whodunit]] where the doctors would be the sleuths looking for the source of symptoms. The ideas behind House's character were added after FOX bought the show.<ref name="u of t">{{cite web|author=Gibson, Stacy|year=2008|month=Winter|url=http://www.magazine.utoronto.ca/08winter/david_shore.asp|title=The House that Dave Built|publisher=[[University of Toronto|University of Toronto Magazine]]|accessdate=2008-09-28}}</ref> Shore wrote the pilot with a vivid memory of a doctor's visit:<ref name="EW1" /> he once had to wait two weeks to get a doctor's appointment for a sore hip, by which point his pain had disappeared. Nevertheless, Shore stated that the doctors were "incredibly polite". Shore later stated that, as he wrote the pilot, he fell in love with a character who, as a doctor, would actually ask the question "Why am I wasting your time?".<ref name="EW1">{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1043940,00.html|title=Dr. Feelbad|publisher=''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''|date=2005-04-08|author=Jensen, Jeff|accessdate=2008-12-07}}</ref>
A central part of the show's premise was that the main character would be handicapped. The initial idea was for House to use a wheelchair,<ref>{{cite news|author=Carter, Bill|date=2007-01-30|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/30/arts/television/30hous.html/?_r=1|title=‘House,’ Already Strong, Gets a Boost|work=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=2009-02-09}}</ref> but Fox turned down this interpretation (for which the crew was later grateful).

The episode was written by the series creator David Shore,<ref name="torontosun-laurie"/> and was shot in Canada; later episodes would be shot on soundstages in California.<ref>{{cite web|author=Staff|date=2006-01-29|url=http://www.etonline.com/tv/2006/01/35979/index.html|title=Behind the Scenes of 'House'|publisher=[[Entertainment Tonight]]|accessdate=2008-09-17 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20080710072927/http://www.etonline.com/tv/2006/01/35979/index.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2008-07-10}}</ref> Shore said that the writings of [[Berton Roueché]], a ''[[The New Yorker]]'' staff writer who chronicled intriguing medical cases, inspired the plots for "Pilot" and other early episodes.<ref name="u of t"/>
=== Casting ===
[[File:Bryan Singer.2776.jpg|thumb|Producer [[Bryan Singer]] initially thought actor Hugh Laurie was American.]]
Producer Bryan Singer originally demanded that an American actor play the role of House; according to Singer, the more foreign actors he watched audition for the part, the more sure he was that an American was needed. At the time of casting, Hugh Laurie was filming the movie ''[[Flight of the Phoenix (2004 film)|Flight of the Phoenix]]''. He put together an audition tape in a Namibian hotel bathroom, the only place with enough light,<ref>{{cite news|author=Keveney, Bill|date=2004-11-16|title=Hugh Laurie gets into 'House'|url=http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2004-11-15-hugh-laurie_x.htm|work=[[USA Today]]|accessdate=2008-10-26}}</ref> and apologized for its appearance (which Singer compared to a "[[Osama bin Laden|bin Laden]] video").<ref name="torontosun-laurie"/> Laurie improvised by using an umbrella for a cane.<ref name="BTVLaurie">{{cite news|url=http://www.buddytv.com/articles/house/how-hugh-laurie-got-into-house-20722.aspx|title=How Hugh Laurie Got into 'House'|publisher=[[BuddyTV]]|date=2008-06-24|author=DeLeon, Kris|accessdate=2008-12-11}}</ref> Singer was impressed by Laurie's performance and commented on how well the "American actor" grasped the character, not realizing Laurie is British.<ref name="hulu-developing the concept"/>
Laurie initially believed that House was merely the "sidekick" of Wilson, because the script referred to Wilson as a doctor with "boyish" looks.

What's tricky is to make them watchable. And Hugh came in and brought everything that
was there to the part, the nastiness, the not politically correct stuff. And yet you wanted to watch him, you wanted to spend time with him."<ref name="torontosun-laurie">{{cite news|author=Brioux, Bill|date=2004-11-14|title=Compelling 'House' Doctor|work=[[The Toronto Sun]]|page=TV2}}</ref>
Similarities between House and the famous fictional detective [[Sherlock Holmes]] appear in the pilot; Shore explained that he was always a fan of Holmes, and found the character's traits of indifference to his clients unique.<ref name="hulu-developing the concept"/> House and Holmes have only one real friend (Wilson and Watson, respectively) who connects the cerebral hero to human concerns. This Holmes and Watson dynamic was something the producers were looking for in the characters of House and Wilson, especially in terms of chemistry.<ref>{{cite news | author=Werts, Diane | title = 'House' thrives with inspiration from Sherlock Holmes | work = [[The Philadelphia Inquirer]] | date = 2006-09-04 | accessdate = 2006-12-30}}</ref>
Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. James Wilson) read the pilot scripts to ''[[Numb3rs]]'' and was planning to audition for the part, but was drawn to auditioning for ''House'' because he enjoyed the role of being "the guy [the protagonist] counts on", as well as the similarities to Sherlock Holmes.<ref>{{cite web|author=Leonard, Robert|year=2006|url=http://www.hulu.com/watch/21682/house-house---robert-sean-leonard-on-his-audition#s-p1-st-i1|title=Robert Sean Leonard On His Audition|work=[[Hulu.com]]|publisher=[[The Paley Center for Media]]|accessdate=2008-09-16}}</ref> Leonard felt he did not audition well, and thought his long friendship with Singer helped land him the role.<ref>{{cite web|author=Wolk, Josh|date=2007-07-03|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20044586,00.html|title=A Summer Away from the 'House'|work=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|accessdate=2008-09-18}}</ref> When asked in an interview why his character would ever be friends with House, Leonard replied:
