House captivates audiences the world over to become the most watched show in the world
Dr. House is one hot doc according to newly released ratings by Eurodata TV Worldwide, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The Fox network Television show reportedly came in at the number one slot with over 81 million viewers across 66 countries for 2008. That’s 1.6 billion viewers tuning into the show’s outlandish, but captivating medical mysteries.
Hugh Laurie’s spot on sexy portrayal of the sharp (in more ways than one), witty and sarcastic Gregory House, Md. doesn’t need much translating to make it a worldwide sensation. The previous holder of the world’s most watched program belonged to CSI for the last two years with CSI: Las Vegas taking 2006 and CSI: Miami taking 2007. But even with the title, both CSI shows didn’t make it anywhere near House’s numbers.
House has been on air for five seasons so far with more than 100 episodes under their belt. The show has received 17 Emmy nominations and Laurie has received two Golden Globes and two Screen Actors Guild Awards for his role as Dr. House.
