Summary: Gift for Family Doctor
Comment: I have to say that when my family doctor got this he was very excited. He had never seen House before. This is the perfect gift for a Doctor, especially if you joke about Vicodin during your visit. He may never give me Vicodin but he did enjoy and I will now send him Season two, then three and so on...

Summary: One Word- Dynamic
Comment: House M.D. - Season One
My girlfriend had been telling me about this series for a long time. I brushed it off because it never seemed that interesting to me. Recently she retrieved this 3-Dual Sided Disk set from some relatives and forced me to watch it. What a serious mistake I have been making by not watching this.
House, played by the genius Hugh Laurie, is an amazing doctor. He works for a walk-in hospital. House has a horrible limp and needs a cane to walk. That aspect will be further explained through later episodes in the season. He is also the best doctor available at the hospital. However, his outrageous behavior often gets him yelled at by patients and the hospital owner, Dr. Cuddy. This outrageous behavior includes forcing patients into treatment, asking patients crazy questions, and only picking up cases that seem interesting to him. Dr. Cuddy decides to fix this problem by giving House many hours of clinical duty to deal with normal patients in between the interesting ones.
The first eight episodes run a normal routine. You are introduced to House and his team of medical experts, each with their own unique characters. Each episode will feature a new patient with a problem. House and his team will go through many different diagnoses before they figure out what is actually wrong with the patient. This always remains interesting with the use of seizures, vomiting, and other disgusting events. House will be providing comedic relief along the way.
Still, once these initial eight episodes are over you will begin to get tired of this same routine. Luckily, episode nine breaks away from the routine. While the first couple of episodes did a good job of establishing characters, the episodes that follow them create dynamic characters. House's history is revealed in a wonderful episode that you have no idea is even about him. House is one the verge of being fired. House goes on a date with his co-worker named Cameron. There is so much evolution of the already beautifully created characters.
The extras are some making of features and two extras talking about the character House. These are all nice extras, but nothing too great. The DVD is set up really well though. Each episode is given a summary before you begin watching. That way even if you do not remember the name of the episode, you can find the episode you are looking for. This is probably the best set-up DVD Set I own.
If you want dynamic character, intense and deep storylines, and comedy that does not take away from the effect, then check out House. The dynamic characters will keep you watching this until the great season finale. Do not thank House though, he will not care.

Summary: Best show on the planet.
Comment: To start, I love House, M.D. and it's my favorite show on TV these days. I never got to see the whole season or anything. In fact, I've only watched episodes here and there when they're on, and I just love them. So I purchased the whole 1st season on DVD. I love owning it on DVD, since you can watch a full episode any time, and best of all - no commercials. It's like watching a movie, really. The Season 1 comes with all 22 episodes from the first season (duh) and some special features. I haven't watched any of the bonus material yet, so I can't really review that. I guess I'd say the greatest benefit to owning it on DVD is watching episodes anytime, and not having to endure commercials. Oh - and also DVD quality video is better than TV for me, so that's a big bonus too.

Summary: House, Season One
Comment: At first viewing on TV several years ago, I didn't care for House, but became interested in it in 2007 and now watch it on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, reruns only cover the previous season, but the early episodes were clearly the most creative. It is obvious in recent episodes that the writers and produces are struggling to top the shock and passion that kept viewers riveted during early episodes.
It has been neat to watch sequential episodes without commercial interruptions; however, I wish the DVD producers would lose the "that is some bad hat Harry" cartoon at the end. It wears thin after a few dozen viewings. I've started zapping it with the fast forward button.
The DVD's are good quality but are not full screen. It is something like watching the episodes through a window.
There are 3 DVD's in the Season One set. After viewing several of the disks, I realized that they are recorded on both sides, giving the equivalent of six disks. Granted, the episode index refers to side A and Side B for those familiar with double sided DVD's.
The price recently increased substantially, but that didn't deter me from purchasing Season Two. There are six single sided disks in the Season two set and documentation is better.
If you like House, you will love the Season Sets on DVD.
