Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
He pops pills, watches soaps, and always, always says what's on his mind. He's Dr. Gregory House (Emmy nominee Hugh Laurie, Blackadder). Producers David Shore, Bryan Singer, Katie Jacobs, and Paul Attanasio haven't rewritten the hospital drama--at heart, it's a cross between St. Elsewhere, ER, and C.S.I.--but they've infused a moribund genre with new life and created one of TV's most compelling characters. More than any previous medical procedural, it resembles Attanasio's underrated Gideon's Crossing, but House is lighter on its feet. As fascinating as he is, the show wouldn't work as well if it were all House all the time (that would be like Sherlock Holmes without Watson or Moriarty). Fortunately, he's joined by an intriguing cast of characters, portrayed by a combination of experienced vets (Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard) and new faces (Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer). Aside from the complicated cases they tackle each week, the sparks really fly when House's brilliant, if naïve charges are put to the test--and as the head of a teaching hospital, it's his job to test them (although his tough love approach is constantly landing him in hot water with Edelstein's administrator). From the first episode, House attracted a talented array of guests, including Robin Tunney ('Pilot'), Joe Morton ('Role Model'), and Patrick Bauchau ('Cursed') as Spencer's father. In addition, Chi McBride and Sela Ward appear frequently (with Ward returning for the second season). Viewers who first watched these 22 episodes on Fox will be gratified to note that the music has survived the transition to disc, such as the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' as featured in both the pilot and season finale ('Honeymoon'). The only apparent omission is the credit theme (Massive Attack's 'Teardrop') from the pilot. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Amazing
House is one of those shows that you miss when it has run its first season and you missed it, yet you constantly hear your friends talk about it. You think that because it's so popular, it must be terrible, as that's simply the way it goes sometimes as TV shows that have such a massive mainstream popularity tend to be shallow and generally not very good. House is different, so different in fact that they have a great British comic actor play a genius M.D. by the name of Gregory House.
Medical shows through the history of television tend to be quite cliché and something that aren't too gripping. House is different. It brings the American medical drama into a completely new direction and revives the whole genre. House specialises is mystery cases and most of the time the simplest answer isn't always the right one. For an American show the intelligence of it is inspiring. It doesn't take you for an idiot and uses the medical terms in the way they would be used in life. Tt doesn't patronise the viewer, and it manages to teach you about the rare condition in a way that doesn't treat you like a moron.
Hugh Laurie is truly amazing and I think a star that nobody expected to work in the role. The character of House is amazing, he's a genius doctor who, in the sub-plots when he's placed in the walk in clinic the character really shines. We are given someone who seems to not care, he seems simply un-interested in his walk in patients. That's not the case at all as when he engages ... Read More
Rating: - Great TV Show!
I have never watched this show on Fox and never even watch Fox, but I had heard this was a great TV show and wanted to watch it. Amazon.com had a great offer where I purchased the first 3 seasons for about 69 bucks. The first episodes were good but made me nervous. I am not a mystery or detective fan and this show is basically a medical detective show. There is character development though and after awhile the show grew on me more and more. I began to really like House and the doctor who has a crush on him. At the end of the season there is another female character who sparks House's interest too.
Rating: - Better than Grey's Anatomy!
Before I watched this show, Hugh Laurie used to creep me out when previews would come on TV. But after randomly watching one episode, I was instantly hooked! This really shows that medicine isn't always perfect, but the kind of mysteries are well done.
I love the entire cast! Chase is hot, Foreman is a jerk, Wilson is the dork, Cuddy is the drill sargeant, Cameron is the sensible one and of course... House is our lovely pill popper, limping, cynical doctor. Laurie really steals the show with his mean comebacks and dark personality. This season was good to learn about the characters' past and attitude, though it was a bit short. Highly recommended for anyone who likes Grey's Anatomy and BONES.
Rating: - House
I love this series!!!! I know that a lot of people when they first heared about it, thought that it was going to be a knock off of E.R. But House, M.D. takes it one step further. There is no other show like it. Though a lot of people find Hugh Laurie's character rude and abrassive, it's what brings the show to life.
Rating: - Great first season
Not many shows get my attention -- especially shows which are still in production. I got hooked on House during its second season, and I had never seen the first five shows before I got the first season on DVD as a gift. If you are unfamiliar with the show, I will warn you the main character, House (played by Hugh Laurie), comes off as a jerk. What Laurie brings to the table is his own interpretation of House. Without his excellent talent, this show would not have appealed to me. Somehow, he can play a jerk but still be appealing. The medical aspect of the show always leaves me guessing, and I'm the type to solve mysteries within the first five minutes of a show. It certainly makes this series more enjoyable for me that I am kept guessing until the end. Great cast, great scripts, just a fabulous series.
