I did not become aware of this series until several sources started marathons. It was during one of these, I became interested in the characters and concept of the program. The marathons I found played about the same 20 or so episodes I later found were from the first three seasons, so once I started watching the box set, I found there was more to this series. If you are looking for a series with drama, angst, comedy, contradictions and irony, this is for you! Do not diagnose yourself by the series, since I have found many times the diseases are not quite right, but then this is entertainment and should be looked at from this point of view. Personally, I view very little TV on networks due to the high commercial content. I prefer getting my own DVD sets and enjoying without interruption, so when I find something I enjoy, I get it. The only issues I have with this set is some of the seasons are loaded with commercials to sell other products, which fortunately you can bypass, and the bonus features are very "lame."Read full review
My personal search!!! I love everything about this series. I have been watching it on television since it first started on fox. I wanted to purchase it for a while. I knew that buying it out right would be outrageous (my mom purchased each season as it came out on DVD. She paid about 60 usd a piece. One season was double layered the rest were normal. So at 60usd per season and there are 5 seasons actual retail value is a high as 300 usd. I got this one brand new for 46.00 including shipping). I am happy with what I have bought and I hope whoever like House can find this good of a deal on something this awesome. (Update!!! 12/31/10) I finally finished the series. Now I am waiting until Aug, when season 7 comes out on DVD. I am going to pre-order a copy if have to. (I have not seen it yet.) I love this series. It has even inspired some pretty weird dreams about Hugh Laurie (Nothing sexual mind you just weird.) Mostly his team (13 and Foreman) running tests on me, as if I was one of their patients. One particularly weird one had House riding around in a grocery cart. I asked a question on answers website asking what it meant. One person offered that I had been watching too much House, and then went on to say she loved it too. The Review A little About House It is a medical drama based in Princeton Plainsboro Hospital. House is witty and antagonizing. He likes messing with Cuddy and Wilson. He is in love with Cuddy though he will never admit it. Wilson is his best friend. The Team Throughout the season, and episodes, the team undergoes a lot of changes from the original three (Chase, Cameron, and Foreman), to no team at all, to the testing to find a new team. Finally settling for a while on a set team. It is great for a family based entertainment as there is no profanity. Though be warned, there are a few scenes of sex or sexual based humor. I remember feeling what the people on the show were feeling. It is an awesome ride I hope there are many more seasons to come.Read full review
I started watching this show without much hope of it being good. But from the very first episode, I was locked in grips of this staff, the patients, and the incredible story lines! House is a sadistic, miserable jerk but he rocks every diagnosis. With his terrible bedside manner, complete rudeness, and cutting sense of humor, House is the man you love to hate. Hugh Laurie is a wonderful, powerful, and very talented actor. Along with the rest of the cast (Cuddy, Cameron, Chase, and Foreman) House works to solve his cases with an amazingly cunning wit. His obsessive behavior continues from case to case as he rushes against time to solve the puzzles of the human body and mind. "House" is more then a drama, more then a comedy, and more then a heartbreaking tale. It is genius!
So far so good 1st episode on season one skips but minute in it stops skipping does perfect... really good deal for the price
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I thought this would be an awesome set, even if the show is still on the air. The packaging was slim lined and it looked like an imported rip-off. The discs were also very scratched up . The DVDs are also poor quality, and I had both the individual sets before picking this up. I saw other people who bought this set and I will say the same as they did... BUY THE SETS SEPERATLY if only for one reason.. cheaper, cheaper .. CHEAPER!! I’ve seen all the separate sets less than 20.00 except for season 5. Don’t be the next victim to poor marketing.
