Universal Domestic Television Distribution has sold hit drama series House to local broadcast stations in more than 80 percent of the country starting in fall 2008. The Golden Globe winner and critically acclaimed series will air on weekends in national syndication.

"'House' is a run away hit in primetime and will make the ideal weekend series for local broadcasters across the nation," said Sean O'Boyle, Senior Vice President and General Sales Manager, NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution. "Procedural dramas such as 'House' are the hottest shows on primetime and consistently make for the top shows in syndication, as well."

Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives.

House's medical case roster is made up of inexplicable cases other doctors can't solve, and he has assembled an elite team of young medical experts to help him in his effort to solve these diagnostic mysteries.
