Product Description:
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."

He pops pills, watches soaps, and always, always says what's on his mind. He's Dr. Gregory House (Emmy nominee Hugh Laurie, Blackadder). Producers David Shore, Bryan Singer, Katie Jacobs, and Paul Attanasio haven't rewritten the hospital drama--at heart, it's a cross between St. Elsewhere, ER, and C.S.I.--but they've infused a moribund genre with new life and created one of TV's most compelling characters. More than any previous medical procedural, it resembles Attanasio's underrated Gideon's Crossing, but House is lighter on its feet. As fascinating as he is, the show wouldn't work as well if it were all House all the time (that would be like Sherlock Holmes without Watson or Moriarty). Fortunately, he's joined by an intriguing cast of characters, portrayed by a combination of experienced vets (Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard) and new faces (Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer). Aside from the complicated cases they tackle each week, the sparks really fly when House's brilliant, if naïve charges are put to the test--and as the head of a teaching hospital, it's his job to test them (although his tough love approach is constantly landing him in hot water with Edelstein's administrator). From the first episode, House attracted a talented array of guests, including Robin Tunney ("Pilot"), Joe Morton ("Role Model"), and Patrick Bauchau ("Cursed") as Spencer's father. In addition, Chi McBride and Sela Ward appear frequently (with Ward returning for the second season). Viewers who first watched these 22 episodes on Fox will be gratified to note that the music has survived the transition to disc, such as the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want," as featured in both the pilot and season finale ("Honeymoon"). The only apparent omission is the credit theme (Massive Attack's "Teardrop") from the pilot. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

- Widescreen Details - PS3 Owners
I won't add anything to the details about the quality of this show as it is written or performed - this show is just amazing whether you like the world of medicine or not.
This review is in regards to the awkward aspect ratio for widescreen TVs - specifically when played through a Playstation 3. I have a 40" Widescreen TV and I play my DVDs through my Playstation 3, and I have absolutely no problems with this video aspect ratio. House looks great on my TV - better than if it were shown ...

Rating: - Awesome Show
I've seen various episodes of House on tv, and enjoyed the show quite a bit.Season one, so far, has captured my attention just as much as the other episodes have.

- HOUSE, M.D. Season One DVD
This came highly recommended and it is a very interesting series of DVDs, not overloaded with facts and medical terms, yet helps us to think out of the box.Dr. House is a queer and detached doctor and uses "unorthodox" methods that works!Marvellous series.Great for the whole family!
Rating: - The Doctor is in, but are you sure you want to meet him?
Given as a gift for my spouse, I never thought I would become so attached to the series.My first thought was, "great, a surgery show" but turned out to be quite interesting.What Dr. House lacks in bedside manner he makes up for with mental acuity.He's the Sherlock Holmes of the medicine world and isn't afraid to cross the line now and then to get the answers to save someone's life.Best part of all - no commercials!
Rating: - Somewhat disappointed
I adore all things House, and was shocked when I received this season that I had missed out on so many treasures before, but the product itself is very low quality. I have had no problems as some other reviewers have with it not having English subtitles, or with the odd aspect ratio. However, I hate the double-sided disc design. They get fingerprints and whatnot on both sides, and are generally not fun to use. They wouldn't be a problem, however, if the packaging held the discs in place. Mine doesn't, ... Read More
