I'm not a big fan of either show, really, but I agree with you, KK: It's not exactly a shocker. Whenever I see a "abnormally brilliant detective," I don't know how you can think of anyone but Sherlock. I think pop-culture has just conditioned us that way.
House is in a different field, but he's a genius who walks into the room, and despite being grumpy, old and cantankerous, he always seems to get the right answer, and leave everyone around him in awe. If you lived in House's world, you'd just let him do all the work without running any tests, and let his guess work be the indicator of what to go by.
That both characters were inspired by Sherlock Holmes is not a mystery by any means.
