House, M.D.: Season 1

Completes the series. great item

Great product! Fast shipping!!

Without a doubt, the best medical drama ever on television, or even on film. It skillfully combines precision and unusual diagnostic medicine with the Human Equation. Other medical “shows” typically neglect the medical aspect, and focus on the soap opera love interests of the hospital staff; but House delivers Medical School level academics, along with the drama seen in only the best of literature - the unexpected, realistic, and non-linear events we all have in our lives, rather than the mundane writing of hacks who are pandering to what the TV executives think will sell the products of their advertisers. House is tantamount to The Sopranos, in its approach and methodology, and the true swings from the gritty to anguish and from transient humor back to despair, rarely - if ever - seen in the media, yet ever present in the daily reality of life. House makes the so-called “Reality Shows” look stupider and more contrived than they actually are. House hinges somewhere between a documentary and a true masterpiece of the art of film. This is not a “must see,’ or a “summer blockbuster,” but a treasure that will reside in the archives of the consciousness of all who embrace it.

i give it a 10 plus it is excellent intelligent seductive etc show, HOUSE, hugh laurie is my fav actor i never laughed in my life due to chronic depression i was born with but hugh laurie actually mad me laugh the rest of the crew is great i think 13 is another incredible person on the show shes bold kewl hip ROFL but not one of the charectors i do not love, including the patients ,i suffer chronic physical pain and i see some of my health issues and id it made me start to take vitamins, i forgot about them , now i HATE gore but the operations etc i know not real i do not have to turn my head around, this is the greatest series on tv i hsve seen but im only 50 yikes;;;;;;it helps me get intune with myself yet focus on the show everytime everytime i watch an episode i see something differant HUGH LAURIE HOUSE AND STAFF RULES!!!!!!!!

i started season one of house and in two nights was all the way done!! this has to be one of the best medical dramas ever made. i couldnt stop putting discs in one after the other. the cast truly compliment each other. the way the team works together is something to behold. my favorite part of the show has to be the relationship between house and wilson - houses only "friend". i got these seasons at an excellent price, so watch for it and the price will drop and when it does, grab season one up and enjoy

This purchase was made because the original Season One House DVD set, which I purchased as soon as it came out in 2005, was not offered in widescreen. Universal/Fox have finally remedied this and all episodes can now be enjoyed in widescreen format; however, the pilot still has odd color values because it was filmed in black and white and partially colorized later. One of the most captivating shows to air on television, its first six seasons are especially gripping because the misanthropic nature of the main character (thank you Hugh Laurie). I can add nothing that other reviewers haven's already said except that it is in my opinion one of the best shows to ever appear on network television-EVER!

as advertised

I have decided to start getting all my favorite tv shows on dvd i found house season 1 for a very good price i couldn't pass it up!!! It arrived earlier than i expected so i was beyond happy. When i opened the package there was a note in there saying every house needs a lamp and it had a cutout lamp with it. It put a smile on my face that was a very cute idea.

super

DVD was in perfect shape.

Welch Freude: endlich gibt es die erste Staffel von Dr. House auf DVD. Ich selbst bin seit Folge #2 der vorliegenden Season begeisterter Zuschauer auf RTL und konnte den DVD-Release kaum erwarten. Nachdem ich mir die Box der ersten Staffel vorbestellt hatte und sie Ende Dezember auch bei mir eintraf, war ich gespannt darauf, wie sich Gregory House im DVD-Format schlagen würde - und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Im Gegenteil. Die Serie ansich hat man in glasklarer Bild- und Tonqualität auf DVD konvertieren können. Endlich konnte ich mir alle Episoden der ersten Staffel nochmal ansehen. Auch war es amüsant, die Serie einmal mit den englischen Originalstimmen zu hören (wobei ich die deutsche Synchronisation ebenso gut finde). Für all jene, die sich bisher an Dr. House vorbeimogeln konnten, hier ein kurzer Einblick in deren Verlauf: Dr. Gregory House, herrlich gespielt von Hugh Laurie (u.a. bekannt aus der Serie 'Blackadder' und den 'Stuart Little'-Filmen), ist Facharzt für Nephrologie und Infektionskrankheiten am fiktiven Princeton Plainsboro Lehrkrankenhaus. Besonders an ihm sind zwei Dinge: zum einen meidet er den Kontakt mit Patienten, da er der festen Meinung ist, dass Menschen aus Prinzip lügen und es ihn einzig interessiert, deren Krankheiten aufzudecken und zu bekämpfen, oder, wie er sagt, das 'Puzzle' zu lösen, zum anderen ist er - trotz oder gerade wegen dieser Haltung - dafür bekannt, das Unerklärliche nicht nur zu erkennen, sondern auch zu heilen. Ihm untersteht ein dreiköpfiges Team handverlesener Fachärzte; gemeinsam machen sie sich in jeder Folge daran, das Leiden von Patienten zu ergründen, die aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen im Princeton Plainsboro landen. Doch kämpft House auch mit persönlichen Problemen: seit einem Infakt in seinem Bein, das von anderen Ärzten zu spät erkannt wurde, ist er gezwungen, das Schmerzmittel Vicodin einzunehmen, woraus sich allmählich eine Sucht entwickelt hat. Auch innerhalb seines Teams hat jeder mit vergangenen oder gegenwärtigen Problemen zu kämpfen. Dr. House ist eine Arzt-Serie der etwas anderen Art. Wie schon zuvor Nip/Tuck räumt sie radikal mit dem Klischee der 'Götter in Weiß' auf und zeigt dem Zuschauer einen genialen, aber innerlich kaputten Arzt beim Lösen seiner Fälle, gemischt mit viel schwarzem Humor und einem gewissen Emergency-Room-Feeling (nicht, dass ich Dr. House damit vergleichen könnte). Die Serie besticht speziell durch Houses unglaubliche rethorische Schlagfertigkeit, was besonders bei seinen Geplänkeln mit der Leiterin des Princeton Plainsboro, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, und den Gesprächen mit Patienten oder deren Angehörigen offenkundig wird. Definitiv eine der erfrischendsten Produktionen der letzten Zeit. Wer aufgrund dieser Beschreibung unsicher ist, der kann sich ja einmal eine Folge der 2. Staffel ansehen, die derzeit auf RTL zu sehen ist, allen Freunden leicht verschrobener Arzt-Serien und schwarzen Humors kann ich Dr. House jedoch nur empfehlen.

As a big fan of CSI and medical dramas like Grey's Anatomy, I could hardly wait to buy House on DVD, and I wasn't disappointed. Like so many other shows, House works brilliantly when watched in chunks - 2 or 3 episodes at a time! I lost a lot of sleep watching the series 1 through the first time, and when I finished, I simply threw the first disc back in the player and started again from the beginning. I remember Hugh Laurie from the Fry and Laurie days of long ago, as well as Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, and so on, and have always been a fan. But I was still amazed by the quality of his acting on this show. His American accent is so realistic, you forget he is English (in fact I almost got a shock listening to his English accent on the bonus features), and his comic timing makes the best of a witty and clever script. His banter with Dr Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) is really enjoyable, as is his relationship with the doctors on his team, although honestly, I don't think they can hold a candle to Laurie in terms of ability or on-screen charisma. Personally, I like the formulaic nature of each episode, as the characters, the humour and the tremendous variety of sometimes bizarre medical problems stop it getting boring. However, my favorite episode of season 1 was the one that broke the formula by following three cases at once. In this penultimate episode of the series we get a deeper insight into House's character, his past and his leg injury, which stirs up more sympathy for his character, as well as giving Laurie an opportunity to demonstrate some really fine acting. I recently introduced the series to a friend of mine who is a critical care nurse and she loved it! I'm just about to buy series 2!
