HOUSE M.D. Review Summary
House, M.D. is "one of the most cerebral shows," as well as one of the "funniest and most well-written shows." Hugh Laurie stars in this Fox medical drama as Dr. House, a physician who takes on the most puzzling of cases, while "constantly dealing with his internal demons." Reviewers issue the warning that "you'll be saying 'What a jerk!' over and over, but you'll be back." Others appreciate Dr. House's sense of humor, as "some of the comments he makes have me rolling over in laughter." Even some non-TV watchers admit to an addiction to House, M.D., because it "keeps you wondering." A few longtime fans of House, M.D. would never miss an episode, yet feel it's been slipping recently. The majority of reviewers, though, still feel "House is a clever blend of reality and fiction." Other hospital dramas that share some of those same qualities are Grey's Anatomy and ER.

I have never been into most hospital shows. I never liked ER, never got into Grey's Anatomy, and completely passed on General Hospital and the like. The only hospital show I ever watched was Scrubs, and let's face it, that's not about hospitals at all! House is a show I saw randomly before and...

Let me tell you how I approach TV series. If I love it, it bothers me to miss even a single episode. If I like it, I want to watch but if I have to miss an episode I promise myself I'll catch it in reruns. But there are those shows that are just filler until what I really want to watch comes on. Last...

I am not a big tv watcher, but everytime House is on, I am there! I have the first three seasons on DVD and can watch them over and over. I am never bored, even by the shows that I have memorized. Hugh Laurie is a big part of this. The man has more talent than one person should be allowed. Not only is he able to play a very complex character, but he does so with a perfect American accent and makes a character that would be easy to hate very loveable. What woman wouldn't want to take House home and tear down his barriers?!! The other actors take Laurie's direction well and play off...

House is quite possibly the greatest show ever. I love the constant plot twists, and the characters make you want to watch. Dr. Gregory House is a brilliant but troubled diagnostician, basically known as the best in his field. Dr. House is a sarcastic, manipulative, uncaring, mean genius, and yet he sucks you in and makes you care about him. T
he writing is great, especially between House and Wilson, his best friend and the "star oncologist" at the hospital. Some of the one liners between these two are magnificient.
In the first three seasons, House's "ducklings" as fans call them,...

House the character, is complex and constantly dealing with his internal demons. That be said, he is highly intelligent, caring (although he would never admit it) and is a wicked music lover. He sees the connection between the body-mind experience through his kenetic process using his ball, cane, or by talking to his crew. He cannot function alone. The sparks between Cuddy, his friend Wilson and himself is enough to keep a watcher intrigued. He is a loner, that needs people. The show is funny in that there are inside jokes; he lives at 211 Bakers Street (Sherlock holmes Address). ...

HOUSE will blow you away. The premise has a great diagnostic doctor determing what is wrong with ill patients. The catch is that he is a complete & total jerk. But you will grow to love him, believe me.
The latest season features House's latest device of torture - a game set up where you can't really win, because if you do, you'll be working for House himself. The fellows are medical doctors fighting each other for the right to House's fellowship. It's quite cutthroat, really.
An added bonus to the show's amazing cast of characters is the cinematography. Sometimes the camera will zoom right inside... review »

House is one of the best shows on t.v. today! This show is very well put together. It's dramatic. It's suspenseful and intriguing. I like that House is a realistic character. I enjoy watching and listening to him break things down through trial and error, and getting to the conclusion that really makes sense. On the other hand, House can be very irritating and frustrating. The character being in the grips of drug addiction is portrayed very well, but I would love to see him get sober! I'm sober and watch others get sober all the time, and when somebody really "gets it" it's awesome...

If you are looking for something besides ER, then House is the show for you. It's the show that has different medical problems rather than your average everyday problem and the way that they go about solving them is rather intriguing. However if you find some unappropriate language not to your liking then this show might not be for you, but you should give it a chance, it will grow on you.
