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."
Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie is on call as sardonic Dr. Gregory House in Season Two of the smash-hit House, television's most intelligent and provocative drama. This 6-disc collection features all 24 innovative episodes, exclusive bonus materials and some of today's brightest guest stars, including Sela Ward, Ron Livingston, LL Cool J and Cynthia Nixon. Be a part of this medical mystery-solving team as House and his staff take on baffling cases in the gripping show critics are calling "both hilarious and heartbreaking; this could be network TV's best current series." - David Kronke, Los Angeles Daily News
House, M.D. - Seasons One & Two Reviews:
House is hilarious! 
2009-09-24 - One of my favorite shows. Shipped really fast and arrived on time. Packaging was good. Can't really give a review on content because you either love the show or you hate it.
A Great Way to Break into House!
2009-03-30 - I never watched House on Fox and began by purchasing the DVDs. The show is wonderful and the DVDs were a great way to get interested in the show. I am thrilled to be able to see them without commercials and back to back. It provides continuity and the episodes are pretty interesting. This is just a great show. Hugh Laurie is a real find and the rest of the cast is great too. Just wonder if this man ever gets involved with anyone? Guess not, like Captain Kirk, House is ultimately married to the ship. Too bad. Love to see some more action with House and someone else.
Dr. House Each Day keeps Illness Away
2008-12-04 - House: Seasons 1 - 4 Collection
It was Dr. Gregory House that healed me from ATDS (Acute Television Distress Syndrome). Now I can finally watch a great show on t.v each week, and enjoy the dvd whenever I want. House is filled with great drama, humor, sex appeal and exciting hospital intrigue; with the most handsome and beautiful doctors that you'll ever see on television. Best wishes to Robert Sean Leonard, Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, and of course the Dapper Doctor, Hugh Laurie, himself. The show is filled with amazing acting, intriguing stories, and mystified heart felt music. This is what tv should be! Don't miss an episode!
Great deal this way
2008-10-09 - Using my Amazon Visa, I get $25 back with so many purchases. I applied to a great two-season pack of House, priced to own. Ended up paying less than $25, with free super saver shipping. Amazon can get you what you want!
Two Seasons of the best show of all time
2008-09-23 - House M.D. - Seasons 1 & 2
House is the perfect show for everyone. Yes, I said it. Everyone. There is drama, gore, intensity, comedy, and romance. If you are not a fan of those, then you hate everything. If you are looking to get into House, I suggest picking up this set. If you do not even know what House is, then this is the review for you.
In my recent review of House M.D. - Season 2, I described the stories main drift as this:
"House is a painkiller-addicted doctor who walks with a limp due to a muscle being removed in his leg. He is the best doctor in the hospital, but is often apathetic and hates patients. The storyline of a common episode will depict House and his team trying to find out what is wrong with an abnormal patient. They will come up with a solution and find out it is wrong. Then they continue to find solutions until they find the right one. Along the way, there is plenty of gore and snide remarks on behalf of House. Almost every episode has this underlying pattern."
House is developed in Season 1. Everything I described in the last quote is showed in Season 1. House's sense of humor will have you laughing, but will never ruin the moment. His attitude about his job makes him interesting. While he does not care about his patients, you find him eventually caring about things. It makes it seem like his heart is not as cold as originally thought. This makes him a dynamic character.
House has a team of doctors that help him solve these cases. Carmen, the over-caring woman. Foreman, the dynamic black man. Chase, the odd Aussie. Each one of them has a fair share of character build-up during Season 2. Foreman changes multiple times progressively making you care more about him.
Season 1 introduces you to House and develops his character. Season 2 develops his team's character. I prefer Season 2 for all the dynamic characters that are created. I gave both five stars though and they are both fantastic. The Season finales for both are fantastic. There are a few extras on each season that you might find interesting. The show itself is worth five stars alone without it. You will find this show to be completely captivating, and you will be craving more.
