Yeah, but considering it's supposed to be Sherlock Holmes as a doctor, shouldn't it at least be a little bit about solving the case?

Before anyone questions it being a Holmes show, since that seems to have gone over so many people's heads:

House = Home (Holmes)

Both of their colleagues are named Watson

Both use deduction to solve mysterious cases (medical vs criminal) that no one else can crack.

Both live at 221B Baker Street

Both have drug issues

Both play musical instruments in order to think things through

House is shot by a man named Jack Moriarty (Moriarty is frequently presented as a nemesis of Holmes)

You forgot the most important factor.

The writers literally said they based House off of Sherlock Holmes stories.

House has Wilson, Holmes has Watson

Also mysteries are frequently solved in a way the audience could not have known because it was with information only House/Holmes had. But it's expected in a medical drama because the audience isn't full of doctors.

For real? I never watched House, but him being inspired by Holmes doesn't surprise me given the idea I got through pop-cultural osmosis. But he actually lives on the same address? That sounds a bit too on the nose.
