There's just a dab of doing, but it's only infrequently the focus, until the final season or two when one main doing takes a bigger role.
The basic conceit is an irascible version of Sherlock Holmes as an MD. House is a diagnostician who takes only the thorniest, hard to diagnose cases, thus the false starts as he and his small team of doctors work to crack the medical puzzle at hand.
Hugh Laurie as House is the star, but the show has a very strong ensemble feel to it.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, though the quality of the final couple of seasons is a bit uneven, with some very high highs and some marked lows as well.
