Editorial Review:
Prepare for even more baffling, complex and shocking medical mysteries than ever before as every season four episode of House arrives on DVD! Reunite with the perplexing and prickly Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie in his two-time Golden Globe®-winning role) as he tackles impossible cases while putting a new staff of potential team members – including Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle), Peter Jacobson (The Starter Wife), and Olivia Wilde (The Black Donnellys) – through the medical wringer with his trademark sarcasm and irreverent bedside manner. Get ready for another dose of one of TV’s most original dramas and what Entertainment Weekly calls “One of the most compelling characters in TV history.”
Description of House, M.D. - Season Four:
For Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), there's nothing like a good, tension-filled competition to pick his new team of doctors when his old trio of Chase (Jesse Spencer), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Foreman (Omar Epps) leave his fold. Among the 40 newbies vying to earn the coveted spots in the fourth season of House, M.D. are Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn, the Harold & Kumar films), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson, Transformers) and Dr., uh, Thirteen (Olivia Wilde, The O.C.). Taking a cue from Flavor Flav, House dubs the latter with that nickname simply because he can. Though frequently politically incorrect, House is almost always spot on when it comes to diagnosing rare diseases and ailments. His boss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) puts up with his unorthodox quirks, which include antagonizing patients, berating his colleagues, and being an overall pain in the butt, because he's brilliant. The addition of the new doctors adds a bit of chaos early on. But once the contingent is whittled away to the select few, the storylines grow stronger and the chemistry between the old and new cast members gels. Originally shown during the 2007-2008 television season, House aired only 16--rather than its usual 24--episodes, due to the Writers Guild strike. Though a bit of momentum is lost in the last third of the season, the writers do an admirable job of piecing together loose ends without sacrificing plot or structure. In a nice homage to the Prescription Passion, the General Hospital-esque soap opera he loves, House at one point is afflicted with amnesia. The humorous aspect of the story is offset by urgency as he tries to remember what needs to be done to save a patient. On a separate episode, House kidnaps the star of the daytime drama (played by Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis) because he's convinced the actor is dying. The season finale is heartbreaking, as one of House's 40 candidates is in a life-and-death situation that even the good doctor may not be able to cure. --Jae-Ha Kim
House, M.D. - Season Four Reviews:
smart series 
2009-11-26 - House is great. It is intelligent beyond most one hour dramas. the plots are always interesting and multi-leveled with character lines. Love to catch this season.
Stupid writers strike 
2009-11-04 - So I love the show. Love Hugh Laurey. Why only 4 stars? We keep getting cheated out of episodes. Season four happened to be the worst thanks to the writers strike that happened with all the major tv shows. Oh well, the episodes that we DID get to see were fantastic!
House is back, in a little different scenery.
2009-09-09 - This season is quite different from the previous 3 seasons. While, all the major characters are still presents, it begins with a over 50 applicants applying for the 3 empty spots leftover from the end of season 3. I enjoyed this change of pace, since, while I still love it, House is a pretty redundant show. He establishes the new team and they begin solving cases, just like before. This season's finale, however, in my opinion was one of the oddest, yet interesting ones to date. It's not often that a drama can kill off a fairly major character, without too much viewer uproar. It kept me interested enough to watch season 5.
never received the item. 
2009-08-06 - never received the item. They took your money but never response to your email. Amazon should force him to give us money back, or take responsibility of allowing this seller to sell on amazon.
House Season 4
2009-08-05 - Season 4 of House is rather disjointed mainly due to the writers strike. It is disappointing that there are only 16 episodes in this season and most of the season is spent trying to pick 3 new interns. However the writers do keep with the old House themes of comedy, sarcasm and difficult puzzles. My favorite episode in this season is probably Frozen; because in it House must diagnose someone who is at the South Pole by using web cam which is definitely different. This Season like the other three are worth the price of purchase.
