Description of House, M.D. - Season Three:
The cantankerous and brilliant Dr. House (Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie) is back for a third season of the hit drama House, which picks up with his being shot at the end of season two and ends with his staff dramatically refusing to put up with his oddball (and borderline abusive) demands. Each of the 24 episodes, which aired on FOX from 2006 to 2007, is included in this 5-disc set. Fans of the drama will be happy to hear that the formula remains the same: Each show begins with a medical dilemma that's so severe and life-threatening that only Dr. House can diagnose and fix the problem, even if it goes against conventional medical rules. His put-upon boss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) is back, as are his young charges Foreman (Omar Epps), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and Chase (Jesse Spencer). Oncologist Wilson (Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard), who is House's best friend by default, also returns to support (and infuriate) the cranky doctor. Speaking of cranky, House's difficult nature proves to bite him in the rear. In a six-episode arc, the Vicodin-popping House meets his match after he antagonizes the wrong patient, police officer Michael Twitter (David Morse, who played a compassionate physician on St. Elsewhere). Hell hath no fury like a patient poked and prodded like a guinea pig, and Twitter makes it his business to make House's life miserable. But since the show is called House, viewers are safe in assuming that House will not be rotting his life away in a jail cell. After all, the excitement of the show is driven by his unorthodox treatment of patients. As Cuddy succinctly points out, "You just keep on going until you come up with something so insane it's usually right." Look for a slew of excellent guest stars (rocker Dave Matthews, Charles S. Dutton, Piper Perabo, John Larroquette) to help stir things up. The episodes are as compelling as ever, focusing on a morbidly obese patient in denial, an autistic child, and a comatose man that House insists on "waking" up. The bonus materials include Morrison and Edelstein doing scenes in Valley Girl-speak and a featurette on Laurie's all-star charity group called Band from TV (Laurie plays piano). --Jae-Ha Kim
House, M.D. - Season Three Reviews:
excellent price! 
2009-10-09 - We bought the first 3 seasons. They came extremely fast and were a cheaper cost than any store around us!
It's House MD... It's Hilarious!
2009-09-24 - Product shipped and arrived on time. Cant rate the content as you either love him or hate him. I was very happy with my purchase.
One of the Best Shows on TV 
2009-07-13 - I literally stumbled upon this little gem on the Internet. I'd heard about it before, but never bothered to sit down and watch it. But when I read more about it, it sounded like a type of show I'd like, so I went to the library and all it had was the first disk of this season. So I tried it out. And fell in love.
Hugh Laurie poses as an ingenious but ill-tempered doctor, Greggory House. With each new episode comes a new cold case that House and his band of talented and miraculously good-looking hand-picked doctors must solve in 40 minutes. You'd think that this typical whodunit medical formula would get boring by the fifth time you've watched it, but it really doesn't. It's a quirky, rare show that has some brilliant writers working in the back-drop and absolutely fantastic actors posing as a medical team in a hospital in New Jersey.
I love Hugh Laurie's character the most. He's a scruffy-but-handsome kind of guy who's charming in a way he doesn't mean to be. He is incredibly rude, and makes his team member's lives a misery, and his rudeness doesn't stop with his patients. But he is brilliant, and his wit almost always surprises his team as well as his patients when he correctly diagnoses and cures a case. And House's sarcastic, mean humor almost always makes me laugh. Hats off to the writers and Hugh Laurie, who carries it out beautifully.
I don't think I could get tired of the team, either. Omar Epps plays Dr. Eric Foreman, a very smart and rather sarcastic guy. He can pull some great expressions, and his signature high eye-brows always make me smile. Jennifer Morrison is Dr. Allison Cameron, the strong-willed beauty of the team. Her character is pretty hard to hate, and the only reason I don't like her is because she gains Chase's attention. Now we come to Dr. Robert Chase, the adorable Aussie of the team, who is as clever as he is amusing.
Robert Sean Leonard plays Dr. James Wilson, the smart and good-natured department head. He is very respected by the team as well as the patients, and his calm nature makes his close friendship with the eccentric House all the more puzzling. Wilson is adorable, in a kind of older-guy way, and he has a great sense of humor- and not to mention patience, to deal with House and his sometimes strange antics.
And finally, Lisa Edelstein is Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the boss reining over all the aforementioned characters. She's a no-play-business boss who does her work well and is respected by the team; that is, everyone but House, whose rude antics don't stop at his boss. She takes it well, though, and there is a sort of adorable affection between the two that even an outsider to the show could recognize. I don't want to be really mean, but Liza Edelstein has a bit of a horse face. I mean that in the nicest way possible, because she is truly beautiful, but sometimes on the covers of HOUSE, MD, her face looks a little long. Anyways, I just hope she and House hook up in the sixth season.
The show is a gem, I truly love it and all its characters. There hasn't been a dry episode yet, and having to wait for them in Netflix and being forced to skip around when I find random seasons at the library is tough, and even watching epidodes on TV get confusing. Yet there is no way I'm going to buy all the seasons- it's WAY to expensive. I reccommend buying these only to die-hard fans who need every single episode to be happy.
The one thing about this show is the blood. I'm not a pansy, but when I see operations and inner body parts and nasty stuff like that, I get a little freaked out. Medical stuff like that scares me, as I am a bit of a hypochondriac, and that is one drawback to this TV show: the blood and guts.
Now, before I let you go, there is one last thing I'll comment on. Practically every episode goes by a typical formula that is entertaining all the same, but about thirty minutes in, when House realizes what's wrong and the camera zooms in and he makes a thoughtful face, well... by the 20th time of seeing that, it gets old. I feel bad for Hugh Laurie, who has to act like he's just made a brilliant discovery and make a serious face time over and over. It's amusing, in a way, but it gets boring.
Anyways, it is an AWESOME show. As a matter of fact it's testing The Mentalist, for me, as my favorite show, and that is huge, since I am in love with Simon Baker. So if you're like me and can't afford to give stupid Amazon a thousand dollars to buy every season, at least watch it, because this is one TV show EVERYONE ought to watch before they die.
Great
2009-06-15 - This product came in great shape. I am really happy with the way everything turned out. I will recomend this seller to all of my friends.
Can I give it 6 Stars?
2009-05-28 - A one-of-a-kind series, House, M.D.: Season 3 brings to the screen more everyday encounters of a team of doctors at the Diagnostics department of the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey under the supervision of Dr. Gregory House.
Hugh Laurie, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, and the rest of this EXTRAORDINARY cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the series is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills, not to mention a few laughs and tears. House, M.D. does a great job of describing people's different personalities, fears, and the problems they face. It is all about life, death, human relations, hope, pain, and inner strength.
The acting, the setting, the plot (and subplots), the dialogues, and the music (!), which are just wonderful! It is indeed a rarity when an amazing series such as this comes by.
In short, House, M.D. is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection (if you haven't done so already)! KEEP'EM COMING!!!
