Loved it 
2008-01-17
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 2008-01-17
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!

brilliant 2007-12-18
House fans will be thrilled to be able to enjoy the abrasive Dr House from the beginning. It just gets better each time you watch.
House 2007-12-15
Excellent! If you like dry wit, sarcasm, sometimes cruel humor, and t.v. medical drama then this is for you. Very funny and intriguing, makes you forget they solve life threatening diseases overnight. Good deal on the two seasons.

House DVDS Season One & Two 
2007-10-22
Only problem I had with these was with Season One. It was only a three disk set with shows on both sides, and for some reason, my DVD player had a difficult time recognizing "Side B". It kept telling me there was no playable disk in the player, so I had to keep trying over and over until finally it would play. (Season Two is six separate disks so maybe they figured that problem out after enough people complained??) It was annoying because the show itself ROCKS. Other than that, everything was fine.
