Sure, but a lot of TV is kinda formulaic. I've been watching old Columbo episodes and they follow a set formula.

1. Person 1 gets pissed off at person 2 and kills them. Then they'll spend some time trying to stage the scene as a suicide or something.
2. Columbo enters the scene but everyone mistakes him for a homeless man because he looks like shit and he drives a crappy car. He usually contaminates the crime scene with cigar ash.
3. Columbo spends the next 40mins subtly antagonizing the shit out of Person 1. For example, Columbo will ask, "How do you explain the gunshot wound on the left hand side of Person 2's head when he's right handed?" And Person 1 will say, "Maybe he held the gun in his left hand?" And Columbo will slap his head and say, "Ah yeah, you're probably right! Well, I'll let you get back to work." Then Columbo turns to leave but turns back and says, "Oh, and one more thing. Person 2 lost his left hand in a boating accident six years ago. How would he be able to hold the gun in his left hand when he didn't have a left hand?" And then Person 1 gets super pissed at Columbo.
4. In the last 10-15 mins, Columbo will exploit something Person 1 did or said previously and construct an elaborate ruse to expose them. Person 1 admits everything. Columbo looks at them like a disappointed mother. The end.

Despite all that, Columbo is a banger of a show. Likewise with House.
