House - Season One Review Summary
Our reviewers love give high ratings to the DVD collection House: The First Season. House, a tv series set in a hospital, follows the adventures of the “complicated” and “hard to figure out” Dr. Gregory House and offers lots of twists. “I look forward to each show and wonder what kind of rare complication they will have to pick their brains to solve next.” “Put a good actor in a well written show and you have HOUSE” says another reviewer. Our reviewers say that the humor is what gives this show it’s unique edge. Says one comedy fan “House’s cynical humor is funnier than stand up comedy.”

It's rare that I find a new show to watch that I just can't miss. I had actually heard people talking about the series, House, for a long time before I even gave it a chance, but once I did, I was hooked. — Using this DVD from season one, I was able to get caught up on my new favorite show. I look forward to each new episode and wonder what kind of rare complication they will have to pick their brains to solve next. Not to mention who will be flirting with who and how moody ole House will find a soft spot for someone. — I think I like the show as much as I do because of the…

waiting for the DVD, watching chick flicks, into action flicks, a comedy fan, into Independent Films, a movie buff, comedy fan, an infrequent movie goer
I would watch House anytime! This is one of the greatest t.v. shows of 2008. You learn a lot about diseases and how to solve them. I would recommend this to whoever is into the medical field or that likes unusual cases. you'll love the characters and even though Dr.House can be annoying it's worth watching and if you really like it I would definitely recommend buying…

DVD collector, character-lover, a movie buff, a fan of clever plots
House is a bold in your face look at medicine and how complicated it can sometimes be. I love that Dr. House is protrayed as a real person with real problems and short comings. Too often people dont see doctors as human beings too. The cases they have told are riveting just want you want to watch in a drama.…

I recently got into the television show House because I heard about how great it is. I think after watching two shows I was hooked. Since I just started watching the show, I decided to collect the boxed seasons on DVD. I didn't realize that they were so expensive! I saw some stores selling each season for $45. — I did find them on sale and decided to start from the beginning. I purchased House Season One. I liked the fact that there is quite a bit of runtime in the season, almost 1000 minutes. That's a lot of House! The thing I…

television buff, love oldies and older shows, knows every good show has its pizza, a fan of clever plots, character-lover, very picky about tv, married, a woman
— I absolutely love the character of House because he's straight forward and to the point and says things honestly even if it does sometimes tick people off and believe me, I can — relate to that having done that a few times myself in life. Its nice to see characters that — are not always so perfect because it makes it more interesting and you can more easily relate. I think Cameron is a wonderful accent to the show and so is Foreman. Chase is — very expressive and I really hope I can see him make movies someday as well because — he is a very good actor.…

What can I say about House. First of all who ever would have guessed the main character is British. You can't even tell he has an American accent. It is so weird to hear him talk in real life and know that is his true voice. This doctor who is a pill popping, egotistocal, sarcastic man is absolutely incredible at finding out diagnosis no other doctor could ever think of in their entire lives. He surronds himself with three other incredible doctors on his team, an incredible actress as the chief of staff, and his best friend, who is an oncologist. Every show…

comedy fan
House, Season One, is great watching for a long weekend or a short convalesence. It has been on Fox television for two seasons. If you haven't been a fan, the dvd will convert you and prepare you for season 3 in the Fall. — House is a great diagostician and a lousy human being. Every episode follows the same format: some patient has some unknown disease that will likely kill him or her. House and his team of doctors race the clock to figure out the disease and cure the patient. — House is uniformly mean to his subordinates and to…

House is a wonderful series, but I really liked it better when he had the first team. The new team annoys the hell out of me. I don't really know why, they just do. I think my favorite part of the series is the quirky interaction between House and Cuddy. They make me laugh constantly. Wonderfully written and superb acting on all fronts. House's attitude is so funny. It makes me wonder if there really is a doctor like him out here in the real…

Movie Reviewer, a frequent film-goer, married, Every day computer user, DVD collector, a fan of clever plots, comedy fan, character-lover
House ahs cynical uncompromised wit that just makes you love him and hate him. the characters are very complex and thestory line is always interesting. The supporting characters really add to the plot. The intriging storie consist of rare disease and circumstances, which House with his 'everyone lies policy' always figures out.This is a great dvd to buy and watch over and over…

From the beginning of this show, I have been a fan! If I had a disease that no one could diagnose, I would love to have a doctor like House. However, I am not sure I would like to be his colleague. It's funny to watch him insult but I am not so sure I could take them. But, at least, he calls them like he sees…

I started watching this show when it first started - and loved it from the beginning. Unfortunately, since the show began it's second season, it lost some of the charm it had in it's first season. Season one of House is like no other, the characters are great, the plots are fantastic. A must-see for any television…

I love House!!! I bought both of the seasons. Who can't love House? A sarcastic doctor who is irritatingly always right and loves to pester his best friend and boss. I love how each persons case is so different and unusual. I think House is funny. He is also…

House is an amazing show. I love watching him interact with all the characters, his sarcasm and hostility and outright open observations. The way they solve the cases keeps you guessing till the end. It's suspensful and funny and though provoking. Buy…
