Product Description:
An acerbic, crippled diagnostician who is addicted to painkillers solves impossible medical cases while clashing with friends and colleagues.
Amazon.com:
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.

- House Season 3
There is something wrong about the disks.I have 3 DVD players and only one of them can play them without getting stuck many, many times.I have many collections of TV series and this is the only one that has this problem.

- KInd of a let down
After viewing the 4th season of House, I decided to not view any more episodes/seasons.The last two episodes were kind of out into the supernatural plane and I did not care for that.I think that the first 3 seasons were very good, but the show seems to have fallen apart...

The inserts won't stay they constantly fall out. Some minor sticking in some of the episodes. Other than that it's a pretty fair product I guess. You get what you pay for. It's pretty hard to store with the inserts falling out all over the place.

- If You Dig House..
..there's no way you can go wrong with this box set. My girlfriend lured me into the world of House around the time the second season was airing. She was, and is, fanatical about this show. This purchase was a gift to her, as she collects all available House seasons. This is the kind of show that is never boring to re-watch (especially if you are a fan). If you are a fan of the House series, you don't need me to tell you how good the show is, in all aspects. All I can do is encourage you to pick ...
