Making a House a Holmes

We’ve noted previously in The Rap Sheet that the character of Dr. Gregory House, in the popular FOX-TV series House, was inspired in part by his fellow drug user, Sherlock Holmes. But now TV Squad’s Julia Ward has put together a “blow-by-blow on the House-Holmes connection,” which includes these facts: their home addresses are both 221B, they both play musical instruments while contemplating difficult cases, and their nemeses are both named Moriarty. TV Squad readers have taken it upon themselves to add still more connections to Ward’s list.
