ANOTHER "HOUSE" CALL FOR MEDICAL MYSTERY FANS

PREMIERE EPISODE OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DRAMA SERIES ENCORES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, ON FOX

Viewers will get another dose of the potent new medical drama HOUSE when the critically acclaimed series-premiere episode encores Friday, Nov. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

HOUSE is FOX's new take on mystery, where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor - a brilliant diagnostician who is devoid of bedside manner and trusts no one, least of all his patients.

On the compelling "Pilot" episode, directed by Bryan Singer ("The X-Men"), Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) and his elite team of young medical experts rush to save the life of a kindergarten teacher (guest star Robin Tunney) who started speaking gibberish and passed out in front of her class. What looks like a possible brain tumor does not respond to treatment and provides many more questions than answers for House and his team as they engage in a risky trial-and-error approach to her case. When the young teacher refuses additional variations of treatment and her life starts to slip away, Dr. House acts against his own code of conduct and makes a personal visit to his patient to convince her to trust him one last time.

Original episodes of HOUSE air in the series' regular time period, Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
