Dr. House? Dr. House? Exam Room One. STAT [Posted on 2008-10-06]
Okay, so there's a ton of medical dramas out there. What could possibly make this one stand above the rest?
Everything!
House MD is a series centered at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Dr. Gregory House, the shows titular character played by Hugh Laurie, is a caustic, rude, arrogant, and a million other nasty adjectives diagnostician and head of the diagnostics department. Doctors Cameron, Chase, and Foreman are in his team. Together (well, mostly), they will determine what no one else has determined, discover what is ailing patients, mostly by uncovering the careful lies patients create around their lives.
The first thing you have to love about House is House. Hugh Laurie plays Dr. House to perfection. You hate to love this guy and love to hate this guy. One minute, you feel sorry for him, the next, you want to strangle his insensitivity for patients and their families.
Next, comes supporting cast. Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, and Robert Sean Leonard are convincing, intriguing characters. Their reactions to House, to the patients, and to the cases.
Then the cases. While I don't understand a lot of the medical jargon, it definitely shows the powers that be put time and effort to make the diagnosises sound good and the cases challenging.
The first season focuses a lot on the characters. We learn that House has had an infarction on his right leg, causing him great pain and leading him to an addiction to Vicodin--one that is almost encouraged because the drug enables him to work. Dr. Cameron was married at one time; Dr. Chase doesn't have a good relationship with his father, and Dr. Foreman had unusual jobs in the past.
Aside from numerous sexual remarks and some really icky medical scenes that are sure to make the squeamish green (and not with envy), there is nothing to bash about this series. Put it on your shelf and in your DVD player and enjoy!! You won't regret it.

Since I had never seen the first season of this sitcom, purchasing this CD helped me catch up on what I had missed. It is more enjoyable watching this CD without commercial interuptions.
I would recommend this CD to any House fans.
It will be a joy to review this series in future years.
A great way to catch up on shows that were missed.

Season One, House introduces you to this doctor who is in "left field" accourding to standands. He is intense and devoted to his work though his work ethics at time are quiestionable. His co-workers love, hate, admire, and highly respect him as you will. I dare you to watch this and not fall in love with 'House, M.D.' and want more.
Fabulous.... [Posted on 2008-10-24]
