Was Dr. House inspired by Black Jack?
The producer David Shore mentioned that Dr. House ins at least partially inspired by Sherlock Holmes and partially on his own experiences. Many connections and references are given throughout the production an series.

This is most likely a advertising campaign by Generon Universal to cross promote Dr. House and the Tezuka anime. Furthermore there is no citation on the connection that Dr. House was inspired by the Tezuka series, just one about the showdown between the two. With no mention of the former being inspired by the latter.
