Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this medical drama deals with life-threatening illnesses that are often depicted graphically. Characters routinely work their way around hospital regulations in order to save patients, a practice that raises complex moral dilemmas that may confuse younger viewers. They also drink, smoke, curse, use drugs, get in arguments, violate rules, and lie. The show also contains some salty language ("crap," "damn," "hell") and some sexual innuendo. House's addiction to painkillers is a recurring theme.

Violence

Language

Words like "hell," "crap," and "damn" are frequent. Dr. House consistently berates his colleagues and patients.
