House, M.D.: Season 1
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives.

Good if you like a bit of mystery - Sheenie
Typical scenario – a patient appears with an unusual set of symptoms and it’s up to House and his team to figure out what’s wrong. (That typically happens in the last 15 minutes of the show…) It’s unlikely the average person will figure out what’s wrong before House does. While I find it highly unusual that a real doctor, no matter how good, would get away with being as much of a jackass as House does (not to mention that his coworkers put up with it instead of throwing it back at him) there is some interesting merit. If you like medical dramas and jackasses you’ll probably be happy with this series.I am hooked on House! - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2
I never watched this show on tv, so I decided to catch up with the dvds. I have to say I am absolutely hooked!
This show is so interesting and Hugh Laurie is just such a great actor. It is funny and smart and I promise you will get hooked too!!
Like Dr. House and his pain killers, you will not be able to stop!!!Captivating - movie_lover6
I love this show. I was channel surfing one night and came across it. I was hooked instantly. Even my husband who would rather watch movies looks forward to watching it. The actors work great together, and it's always interesting to see what the medical problem is. We were so excited when it came out on DVD. I do agree with the other reviews regarding the wide screen though. Maybe when Season 2 comes out it will be better. Even if it's not, I'll still rent it!
