Editorial Review:
Go deeper into the medical mysteries of House, TV's most compelling new drama, as all 22 Season One episodes and exclusive bonus features come to DVD! Hugh Laurie stars as the brilliant, but sarcastic Dr. Gregory House, a maverick physician who is devoid of bedside manner. While his behavior can border on antisocial, Dr. House thrives on the challenge of solving the medical puzzles that other doctors give up on. Together with his hand-picked team of young medical experts, he'll do whatever it takes in the race against the clock to solve the case. Check out each gripping episode featuring some of TV's hottest guest stars, including Carmen Electra, Chi McBride, Scott Foley and Sela Ward. It's the intriguing new series TV Guide's Matt Roush hails as "the uncommon cure for the common medical drama."

Description of House, M.D. - Season One (Two-sided discs):
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

House, M.D. - Season One (Two-sided discs) Reviews:
Great!
2009-12-19 - I already have all the seasons of House, this one is a gift for my grandson who also loves the show, I would recommend this to anyone.

bad service
2009-12-07 - I ordered two dvds and only got one of the dvds. I contacted this seller twice and got no response. I had to get a refund from Amazon. do not use this seller.

In The Beginning...
2009-12-05 - "House, M.D." is now in its sixth season on television, an astonishigly long life for an edgy medical drama featuring a sarcastic, manipulative doctor addicted to pain medication. "Season One" captures the first 22 episodes of the show, plus some nice extras providing background on the series.

Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a brillant diagnostician working at Plainfield Teaching Hospital, where he typically get the very toughest cases to solve. Assisting him are three young doctors (Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, and Jesse Spencer), with whom House works his socratic method of identifying a obscure medical condition and fashioning a cure. Invariably, the team is racing the clock to save the patient. House spars endlessly with his boss, medical administrator Dr. Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) over his lack of manners, his rules-breaking, and his failure to perform clinic hours. House also imposes endlessly on Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), his one friend on staff, who is often Watson to House's Sherlock Holmes.

The show succeeds as a medical drama, but the real draw is watching Hugh Laurie walk a knife-edged line as an actor, playing a hughly unlikeable person whom the audience ends up rooting for anyway. The character succeeds in part because the show keeps up the humor, but especially because Laurie allows us to see the inherent good in House, buried beneath all the bad behavior. "House, M.D.: Season One" is very highly recommended to fans of the show and to those viewers who came along later and want to find out how it was, in the beginning.

Great job
