The social media back and forth began when journalist Janet Murray posted on X:"Late to the party, but I've started watching Season 1 of House. Same narrative every episode: Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies. Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again.
Not taking the criticism lying down, Laurie, who played the titular Dr House in all eight seasons of the show, replied in a comment which said: "Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren't happy."
"The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn't meant for you. Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!"
House ran for 177 episodes between 2004 and 2012, and also starred Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Peter Jacobson, Kal Penn, Olivia Wilde, Amber Tamblyn and Odette Annable.
Laurie has most recently been seen starring in the second season of The Night Manager, while he was also recently cast in another series based on the works of John le Carré, Legacy of Spies.
