Producers brought Chi McBride onto “House, M.D.” and that also was a fiasco. They axed him quickly.
On “House”, McBride was the exceptionally ruthless counter-balance to House. I’ll guess it was a limited story arc.
Didn’t the producers also bring in David Morse(?) as a House-P.O. cop to stir things up as well?
House had to have his Moriartys.
