House 2x07 "Hunting"

Has anybody noticed the number on the house, where House lives ?




It´s 221B. The same number as the fictional residence of Sherlock Holmes.
221B Backerstreet in London.

I squeed out loud when I saw that. Ok, maybe it wasn't exactly subtle, but it was awesome all the same. :D

Yeah I had the same reaction! Too perfect.
But does he live on Baker Street I wonder...

Wow! That's incredibly cool. How'd you catch that?
I wonder how many other tidbit's they've worked into the show that we can catch onto. X)

Normally I don't see such things. But in this scene I was just wondering, why they showed us this number. I'm not a big Sherlock Homes fan. But who hasn't heard of that famous address. :)

I'm somewhat confused. Has House moved at all during the show? Because he didn't USED to live at 221B. The number on his house in "Role Model" is 87.

Every time they show "his apartment", it's different. I think he actually lives in a TARDIS.

Yes noticed it straight away, thought how cool :)

I suspect he has moved, also I think Cameron has as well

Well, Cameron definitely switched apartments. In Kids it's at the end of a hallway, whereas in Hunting it's right in the middle of one.

I bow to you for catching that.

Well Cameron did need a new place where she could do drugs and bring home co workers to have sex with right?

And House moved caused he was afraid that too many of his call girls he gets at work would eventually find out where he lived..

Now all we need is for someone to make a smartass remark and call House "Sherlock".

My mom and I squeed like made when we saw it. It makes sense. They had been making serious allusions to Sherlock since the beginning.

yeah my mom saw that too (when you become a mother do you inherit trivia about Holmes??) the other thing we noticed was similiarity between the characters, House---> Holmes, Wilson----> watson, watson had wife issues sometimes and wilson does too, holmes had a opium habit, and house has a vicodin habit...strange? I tihnk NOT!

[info]kremlindusk

Holmes really had an opium habit? I thought that was something added to the stories afterward, like in that Case of Evil movie for USA Network (which I love). Though I think that was Absinthe.

Didn't Holmes also have a higher-up with the police that he had to listen to sometimes, i.e. Cuddy? I can't remember his name, though.

Dorothy L. Sayers' fictional detective, Lord Peter Wimsey, lived in 110A Piccadilly - every figure is subtracted one from 221B.

Not above a little subtle fangirlishness, even way back in the 30's ...

I've always wondered y i was sooo completely obsessed with House. and then i watched some doco/behind the scenes thing where david shore said House was based on Sherlock holmes, it all came together for me. I had the biggest obsession with Sherlock holmes in yr 6, I read every case, and then 3 years later i decided that it was a big enough gap that i would have forgotten the details of the cases so i read them all again.

221-B Baker St. Lawrenceville, NJ 08648

There is a Baker Street in Lawrenceville, NJ which is right outside (SW) of Princeton.

There's another shot in another episode, not sure which, where the number on the outside of the building reads only 221 and you can see the 'B' on House's door through the open front door.

Well played Mr. Shore.
