Michael Crichton's widow is suing the creators of The Pitt for ripping off the premise of ER. What TV show do you believe ripped off another?

FWIW, I don’t think his widow has a case here

But what show definitely ripped off another?

Or one from the same creator where their shows are too similar?

Example:

The Good Doctor vs. House

Both shows were created by David Shore and center around a genius doctor with social/communication difficulties who constantly clashes with hospital leadership

The Good Doctor is essentially House with autism replacing addiction
