Lisa Edelstein reminds me of growing up and your friend's smoking hot mom that you'd always hope wanted you over for dinner.

@IvoryStars XDD

[yeees123]

Yeah, I agree. In the case of House character disain of course: House insn't Holmes and shouldn't be, this is actually exactly what bothers me, because so many people think that House's rudeness comes from Holmes. Although I am not really sure how rude and offencive was Holmes in David Shore's mind.

[MasterJohnnyX]

@yeees123 yes the truth is that holmes wasnt overall rude he just didnt care but we have to take houses rudeness as some sort of defence in his disability

[yeees123]

I don't get : whenever I read Sherlock Holmes, I never have an impression that he was rude or hostile towards his clients; he was witty and sarcastic, but he wasn't that arrogant bastard... The arrogancy comes with as a myth from all these endless Hollywood and non-Hollywood movies: everybody knows Holmes but very few actually READ the originals books

[erincamilla]

@yeees123 The arrogance and rudeness don't have to be directly correlated to the Holmes' reference. Characters don't have to be analogues to be inspired by something. The inspiration for House, as described in this video, was complex and the rudeness came before the Holmes was introduced.

[dyjitalcat]

In the movie that just came out, sherlock holmes does look sort of like house...might actually be a reason for it.

[TheFranc77]

dont know where I read it but I though Dr House was a real person that inspired A. Conan Doyle to create Sherlock Holmes, and then to honor that person David Shore named his character after him. sadly wasnt that romantic way.

[adlowdon]

@TheFranc77 Holmes was inspired by a doctor named Joesph Bell. As an homage to Dr. Bell, his textbook, Dr. Bell's Guide to Surgical Technique, appears in an episode.

[TheFranc77]

i didnt know that, thats cool!

[tgotcher1309]

I have wondered this for so long! I expected some kind of elaborate explanation for such a complex character all this time. And then it turns out to be a case of this sort of accidental or maybe incidental brilliance on David Shores' part! Still amazing and maybe even more so because of this.
