House: Seasons 1 - 4 Collection
It was Dr. Gregory House that healed me from ATDS (Acute Television Distress Syndrome). Now I can finally watch a great show on t.v each week, and enjoy the dvd whenever I want. House is filled with great drama, humor, sex appeal and exciting hospital intrigue; with the most handsome and beautiful doctors that you'll ever see on television. Best wishes to Robert Sean Leonard, Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, and of course the Dapper Doctor, Hugh Laurie, himself. The show is filled with amazing acting, intriguing stories, and mystified heart felt music. This is what tv should be! Don't miss an episode!
Great deal this way

Using my TvBoxset Visa, I get $25 back with so many purchases. I applied to a great two-season pack of House, priced to own. Ended up paying less than $25, with free super saver shipping. TvBoxset can get you what you want!

House M.D. - Seasons 1 & 2
House is the perfect show for everyone. Yes, I said it. Everyone. There is drama, gore, intensity, comedy, and romance. If you are not a fan of those, then you hate everything. If you are looking to get into House, I suggest picking up this set. If you do not even know what House is, then this is the review for you.
In my recent review of House M.D. - Season 2, I described the stories main drift as this:
"House is a painkiller-addicted doctor who walks with a limp due to a muscle being removed in his leg. He is the best doctor in the hospital, but is often apathetic and hates patients. The storyline of a common episode will depict House and his team trying to find out what is wrong with an abnormal patient. They will come up with a solution and find out it is wrong. Then they continue to find solutions until they find the right one. Along the way, there is plenty of gore and snide remarks on behalf of House. Almost every episode has this underlying pattern."
House is developed in Season 1. Everything I described in the last quote is showed in Season 1. House's sense of humor will have you laughing, but will never ruin the moment. His attitude about his job makes him interesting. While he does not care about his patients, you find him eventually caring about things. It makes it seem like his heart is not as cold as originally thought. This makes him a dynamic character.
House has a team of doctors that help him solve these cases. Carmen, the over-caring woman. Foreman, the dynamic black man. Chase, the odd Aussie. Each one of them has a fair share of character build-up during Season 2. Foreman changes multiple times progressively making you care more about him.
Season 1 introduces you to House and develops his character. Season 2 develops his team's character. I prefer Season 2 for all the dynamic characters that are created. I gave both five stars though and they are both fantastic. The Season finales for both are fantastic. There are a few extras on each season that you might find interesting. The show itself is worth five stars alone without it. You will find this show to be completely captivating, and you will be craving more.
Loved it

I loved this program, lost time to watch the third season. Will buy it eventually
Take Sherlock Holmes, a hospital...and a whole lot of attitude

I don't really get a chance to watch much episodic television (when the good stuff is on, I'm either already asleep or have gone out somewhere for the evening) - but being a fan of Hugh Laurie, I knew I would love House. I finally had a chance to watch an episode - while recovering from the flu! - and it confirmed that I HAD to keep watching. I immediately bought all available box sets and set out to watch about three or four episodes a night.
Dr. Gregory House is brilliant and truly does not give a tinker's dam what people think. The things with which he gets away - what he says to his colleagues, patients, and superiors - are a vicarious treat. Who wouldn't want to say a lot of what House acerbically delivers in each and every episode?!
What is so compelling about his character is his total unwillingness to bend, whether it is his methodologies or his opinions. Here is a character that - in any other situation - would be one that you KNOW would be set up to metamorphose in some way; perhaps the "bully" becomes a kinder, gentler person by episode's end.
Not the case with House. He is everything contrary to what we perceive to be characteristic of a "hero"; he's a bitter, Vicodin-addicted misanthrope, whose interest in his patients is solely for the medical puzzle they present. On the rare occasions that he appears to connect with a patient, it is always within HIS own parameters.
But you wouldn't want him to change. That's what keeps him strangely likeable and believable; he's a damaged person (his leg injury is really secondary) and is what he is, take it or leave it. He doesn't actually like many people at all - he won't even meet his own patients unless he absolutely HAS to; even though he's a genius diagnostician, he's horrible at relating to people.
We find ourselves alternately cheering his successful unorthodox actions or aghast at his crude insensitivity, and we keep watching! The medical jargon, while complicated at times, never makes the audience feel left out; explanations are skillfully woven into the dialogue before you have a chance to scratch your head in confusion - and without slowing the pace.
This is a highly recommended medical drama with enough suspense and mystery to keep you involved. If you haven't seen the early seasons, you would be missing out on some intense character background and stories.
Differential diagnosis, people! Go!
