“I look for zebras because other doctors have ruled out all the horses.” — Dr. Gregory House

Medical students are taught that when they hear hoofbeats, they should think horses, not zebras, but Dr. House’s unique talent of diagnosing unusual illnesses made House, M.D. one of the most popular and fascinating series on television in the mid-2000s (and still today, as fans binge-watch via on-demand). In Chasing Zebras: The Unofficial Guide to House, M.D., Barbara Barnett, widely considered a leading House expert, takes fans deep into the heart of the show’s central character and his world, examining the way this medical Sherlock Holmes’s colleagues and patients reflect him and each other; how the music, settings, and even the humor enhance our understanding of the series’ narrative; what the show says about modern medicine, ethics, and religion; and much more.

Complete with an episode-by-episode guide of the first six seasons and numerous interviews with cast members, producers, and writers, Chasing Zebras is an intelligent look at one of television’s most popular shows.

Industry Reviews

“What this book really did for me, though, was teach me to better understand and appreciate good scriptwriting. Author Barnett, whose own writing I found impressive, explains how the stories and the characters are developed and presented.…I think anyone reading this book will become a smarter viewer, not only of this series, but of other dramas.” — Exclusive Magazine
