This month the cantankerous and brilliant Dr. House is back for a third season of the hit drama HOUSE on the Hallmark Channel.
Airing Mondays to Fridays at 20:05 CAT, HOUSE is an innovative take on the medical drama, where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is
an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.
The show revolves around Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) who heads a team of diagnosticians; Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), Dr.
Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer) and Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps); at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey.
DStv fans of the drama will be happy to know that the formula remains the same; each episode begins with a medical dilemma that's so severe
and life-threatening that only Dr. House can diagnose and fix the problem, even if it goes against conventional medical rules.
This season promises to be as compelling as ever, focusing on a morbidly obese patient in denial, an autistic child, and a comatose man that
House insists on 'waking' up. Audiences can also look for a host of excellent guest stars (rocker Dave Matthews, Charles S. Dutton, Piper
Perabo and John Larroquette) to help stir things up.
Season 3 picks up with Dr. House being shot at the end of season two and ends with his staff dramatically refusing to put up with his oddball
(and borderline abusive) demands. Early in the season Dr. House temporarily regains the use of his leg.
Season 3 concludes with a cliffhanger finale, in which Dr. House fires Chase, and Foreman and Cameron both resign, leaving House without a team
for the fourth season.
The award-winning series has won three Emmys, including an award for creator and executive producer David Shore (Outstanding Writing for a
Drama Series). The series has also been honored with 17 Emmy Award nominations, including three for Outstanding Drama Series and three for
Hugh Laurie (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series).
In 2006 it received the Humanitas Prize for the episode Three Stories.
Additionally, HOUSE received two Golden Globe Awards for Laurie (Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series) and two Screen Actors
Guild Awards for Laurie. It also received (Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series) as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination (Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a (Drama Series)and two Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Television Series,
Drama, and an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.

Tune in for HOUSE weekdays at 20:05 CAT throughout September on the Hallmark (channel 108) on DStv.
