Quotes

Dr. Cuddy: [to House] It's not going to work. You know why? Because this is fun. You think of something to make me miserable, I think of something to make you miserable. It's a game, and I'm going to win. Because I got a headstart - you're already miserable.

Show season: Whole show  1  2  3  4  All

Updates: Updated recently Series 1 

Across whole show

Mistake Continuity: Most of the time, whenever House puts down his Nintendo DS, the angle at which it is bending changes. For example, in one shot, it is not bent at all and in the next it is almost closed.

Mistake Factual error: In episode 414, "Living the Dream," the patient Evan is given a nerve function test. We see Kutner and Taub performing the test by puncturing Evan's legs with needles. Modern nerve function tests actually rely on electrical impulses from a small computerized device, with no needles necessary.

Mistake Continuity: In the episode that aired on 27 March 2008 in the UK, House has the shot glasses next to each other. Camera changes after a few seconds where you can see House's hands, and the glasses are no longer apart.

Paternity (season 1, episode 2)

Mistake Revealing: In the opening scene during the game, one of the shots of the boy is reversed. You can see that the text "Tartans" on his jersey is mirror imaged.

Occam's Razor (season 1, episode 3)

Mistake Factual error: House is playing 'Metroid: Zero Mission' on his Gameboy at various times. The Metroid series does not feature space monkeys, nor are there distinct levels. The sounds coming from the game in the show do not match it in real life, and Samus morphing into a ball is most definitely not a failure state.

Mistake Continuity: The text with the symptoms written on the board changes several times, watch the letter F on the left. Sometimes it has a line across it, sometimes not.

Mistake Continuity: When Robert is telling Allison about the sexual life of the patient, her reflection shows her turning around. When the shot changes, she is back in place repeating the movement.

Maternity (season 1, episode 4)

Mistake Revealing: All the babies in the incubation room are, very evidently, dolls. When one is driven inside, his cries are heard but he doesn't mouth them.

Mistake Revealing: Exactly ten minutes to the end, the couple with the baby Maxine are waiting to hear how she is doing. The mom and the husband are sitting on a bench outside the room in which their daughter is being treated. The mom lies down on her husband. She is supposed to have given birth only recently, so she still has a big tummy. As she lies against her husband, however, it is clear that she is wearing a prosthetic stomach: her blue T-shirt tucks and crinkles into and around it in a way that shows it is not an organic part of her.

Mistake Continuity: The first baby dies on December 2nd. House's clinic patient is four months pregnant, and is given an expected due date in late March. Her due date would actually be in early May, if she's in her fourth month in early December.

Mistake Revealing: The baby that opens the episode is a real one in the close shots and a doll in the others. First of all he doesn't move, and second, his skin colour is totally different.

Damned If You Do (season 1, episode 5)

Mistake Continuity: Dr. House is listening to a patient's heart with a stethoscope. However as the shot cuts to his face you can see the stethoscope is not in his ears.

The Socratic Method (season 1, episode 6)

Mistake Continuity: When House is taking to Luke about the Vitamin K deficiency and eating the hamburgers, the lid on the tomato sauce bottle is alternately open/closed between shots.

Fidelity (aka: Truth or Consequences) (season 1, episode 7)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: 7 minutes and 30 seconds into chapter 3, Dr. Cameron and Dr. House are walking through a hall-way and Dr. Cameron's mic wire is very evident under her shirt.

Detox (season 1, episode 11)

Mistake Continuity: As Cuddy is making the deal with House, how much time off from Clinic duty for a week off his vicodin, while the camera is behind Cuddy you can see there is bright sunshine on House's head. The shot switches to a camera behind House and now his head is shaded.

Sports Medicine (season 1, episode 12)

Mistake Continuity: During the scene where Dr. Chase and Dr. Cameron are out having a drink, Cameron picks up Dr. Foreman's cell phone. Before she does she takes a drink of her soda. This drink drops the level of drink to half full. When Foreman returns a few seconds later she suddenly has a glass that is 3/4 full. There was no time for anyone to give her a refill.

Cursed (season 1, episode 13)

Updated recently Character mistake: In this episode we learn that Chase is 26 years old. His parents were divorced when he was 15, and this was stated as being 15 years ago, which would make him 30, not 26.

Control (season 1, episode 14)

Mistake Continuity: As House describes the lady's symptoms, in the front shot Chase has a small book/pamphlet in his hand. The camera changes to a side shot in the middle of House's description and suddenly the book is on the table and no longer in Chase's hand. This happens right in the middle of House's line and Chase doesn't make any quick movements to account for this discrepancy.

Mob Rules (season 1, episode 15)

Mistake Other: House has Metroid Hunters on the DS next to the gangster's ear and it shows Samus in a ball rolling around. The way she was rolling couldn't have been achieved because House was holding it, his fingers nowhere near the buttons on the game.

Mistake Continuity: At the very end of the episode, House enters the conference room and stands up in front of the whiteboard talking to his team. When he first enters, the board is full of writing, then in the next shot there are only a bit of marks here and there.
