Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- David dropped the name of his hometown, London, Ontario, in the "Fetal Position" episode of House. He told a London Free Press reporter that the script originally read "London" to indicate London, England, was an undesirable place for a layover. He explained this made the jab more House-like as well as giving a shout-out to his home.

- David Shore: (when asked about the status of the possible spin-off of House - August 5, 2008) That's a good question. If I had more of an answer, I would give you more of an answer. We brought in a character partway through the year, Michael Weston, as this private investigator House goes to. The spin-off would be less of a spin-off, it would be more us using House to launch it. It would be an independent world. A character out of the House mold, but definitely different.

- David Shore: (Emmy Watch: Showrunner Roundtable, June 3, 2008) Can I say what I love about the Emmy broadcast as opposed to the Oscar broadcast? You watch the Oscars: Everybody takes the stage and thanks their director. Watch the Emmys: Everybody takes the stage and thanks the writer. As writers, it's nice that we're appreciated.

- David Shore: (regarding the trend to spin off popular shows, Variety - May 22, 2008) It's a simple financial equation. Something is working, they want more of it. If you can figure out a way to split it in half, they're gonna go for it. It's really that simple, and I can't blame them. It's just a question of making it work.
