> I was thinking more in line of House M.D., where from what I recall everyone in the hospital except the protagonists were portrayed as mostly harmless morons.
That's just the POV of the protagonist (House), he doesn't discriminate people, he thinks everyone's an idiot. Character trait, and an entertaining one for that matter. House M.D.'s protagonists only deal with the most difficult or vague cases, often coming into play when the general staff doesn't have a clue anymore (and probably ruled out lupus themselves already).
I love(d) House btw, it's often much broader than mystery-of-the-week as it often seems superficially.
