    Wait no way really? It’s basically a ripoff then? Never watched the show but do they bill it as such?

      It’s an homage. Also, House’s confidante is Wilson, not Watson.

      You could call Elementary and Sherlock ‘rip-offs’ too. The fun thing about public domain material is that anyone can do whatever the hell they want with it. Personally, I think all three shows were good (or at least started as good).
