House, M.D.: Season 4

A one-of-a-kind series, House, M.D.: Season 4 brings to the screen more everyday encounters of a team of doctors at the Diagnostics department of the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey under the supervision of Dr. Gregory House. Hugh Laurie, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, and the rest of this EXTRAORDINARY cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the series is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills, not to mention a few laughs and tears. House, M.D. does a great job of describing people's different personalities, fears, and the problems they face. It is all about life, death, human relations, hope, pain, and inner strength. The acting, the setting, the plot (and subplots), the dialogues, and the music (!), which are just wonderful! It is indeed a rarity when an amazing series such as this comes by. Moreover, even though season 4 is shorter by eight episodes due to the writers' strike, you will not be disappointed in the least as far as quality is concerned. In short, House, M.D. is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection (if you haven't done so already)! KEEP'EM COMING!!!

I think that season four turned out better than I anticipated it would. Instead of getting the team back together, the writers brought in a new team. There was an exhaustive process of elimination, of course. Not all forty were going to make it, so House had some fun at their expense as he fired the fellowships.If you've seen the first three seasons, you should be well accustomed to House's ways by now. The only thing that surprised us was his quasi treasure hunt for a particular article of clothing belonging to Dr. Lisa Cuddy. With so many new actors, the writers had to juggle a lot of characters. The number of fellowships was cut down pretty quickly after the first few episodes and allowed the writers to focus on a dozen or so characters. It didn't take all that long for House to come up with his diagnostics team. The three all seem well qualified and one of them seems full of mysteries.Although the writers did a nice job of giving small roles to several of the fellowships along the way, once the diagnostics team was finalized, the original team was rarely seen. They would pop in for a quick scene here and there, but they were never together. It made sense to showcase the new team, but I didn't think Chase and Cameron received very much screen time and character development. Over all I have loved the series and highly recommend it.

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.

Timely delivery, good quality

Image and sound quality are excellent as usually with the "House M.D." seasons on DVD. Even though, due to the screenwriters strike, this package only contains 16 episondes as opposed to the usual 24, this still is a fantastic season. Lots of new faces this time (and many old ones) - and of course the usual quick wit. Look away for a second and you missed it. That's what DVD's are for - go back and watch again to catch the rapid fire wits of House, Cuddy and Wilson. Not to mention the new characters, all with their own agenda, to be reveiled piece by piece - keeping us guessing. The last two episodes of this season feel and look like one top notch high budget Hollywood movie and they are worth the price alone. Great bonus material as well. A must-have for fand of this great tv show.

...although it starts out strong and ends strong. In season 4 House has recently lost his entire team - Chase, Cameron, and Foreman. He starts out trying to prove that he can do without hiring a diagnostic team, but ultimately he relents. How he chooses that diagnostic team drags down the coherence of the plot through episode nine. House starts out with 30 or so candidates and whittles them down over several episodes. By the time he did pick a team I was just tired of the whole game. The cases, for the most part, just aren't that compelling either as opposed to previous seasons. Oddly enough the original members of House's team wind up back at Princeton Plainsboro Hospital, but only one ends up working for/with him by the end of the season. The other two declare that they are just "Housed out". The best storyline is when Wilson begins to date Amber, one of the last candidates weeded from House's team. The primary reason House got rid of her - she is too much like himself. For Amber it's all about winning. House is puzzled because he assumes Amber is dating Wilson to get back at House for firing her, plus he is somewhat confused by the fact that for the first time Wilson is not dating an emotionally needy girl. Of course he tries to break them up. I'd recommend it because House remains much more interesting than anything else on TV these days, but this season just doesn't rise to the greatness of the first three seasons.

Ended up getting a full boxed set of House M.D. shows. Not our ordinary tv medical soap opera. House is humorous, has some great music and subtle side references to music and books here and there if you can catch them. It’s also medically accurate so you can learn a few things if interested.

House gets better and better with every season and episode, but this asking price is still a little ridiculous! Amazon has come down in price a little and now I'm actually thinking about spending the money, but again, there's only 16 episodes! I like to buy each season b/c there's no commercials and the quality is a lot better than the internet sites which post them for free, but I don't think I can justify buying this season. Instead, I'll just watch them for free on the various websites. As for season 4, it was awesome! And if you haven't seen it, then this is a must. But if you also cannot afford/justify this high price, just search for the episodes online and you should be able to find them. But if you are wealthy, BUY THIS!

Auf Grund des Autorenstreiks in den USA beinhaltet diese Staffel nur 16 Episoden. Ich bin schon seit der 1. Staffel ein Fan dieser Serie, m. E. ist sie zurzeit eine der besten TV-Serien überhaupt. Die einzelnen Fälle sind interessant und gut dargeboten, und wie schon in den vorherigen drei Staffeln sind auch hier die Dialoge zwischen den Hauptpersonen das tragende Element. Zunächst war ich nicht sonderlich begeistert als am Ende der 3. Staffel feststand, dass House sich ein neues Team wird zusammenstellen müssen - Cameron, Chase und Foreman sind einem doch irgendwie ans Herz gewachsen. Gott sei Dank bleiben sie - wenn auch von nun an etwas im "Hintergrund" agierend - der Serie erhalten. Das mehrwöchige Auswahlverfahren, was sich über die Hälfte dieser Staffel erstreckt, hat mir sehr gut gefallen - die Vicodin-Abhängigkeit von House steht nun nicht mehr im Vordergrund, und House kann wieder seine "typischen Stärken" (das Lösen von komplizierten medizinischen Fällen; der Zynismus gegenüber seinen Untergebenen; das Auffinden von Möglichkeiten, um Cuddys Macht zu beschneiden) ausspielen. Besonders gut hat mir die Folge "Cate aus dem Eis" gefallen, und das nicht nur, weil Mira Sorvino dort als Gaststar auftritt. Sie schafft es sogar House Paroli zu bieten und ihn "etwas um den Finger zu wickeln" - so sieht man eine völlig neue (und ungewohnte) Seite von House. Der (emotionale) Höhepunkt ist zweifellos der Zweiteiler "Im Kopf von House" & "Im Herzen von Wilson" - ein tolles und absolut würdiges Finale dieser 4. Staffel, die Appetit auf mehr macht. Eine Anmerkung zum neuen Team (wer sich die Spannung erhalten möchte, sollte jetzt nicht mehr weiterlesen): Bei der Zusammenstellung hätte ich mir eine andere Konstellation gewünscht. Kutner und Hadley sind OK, an Stelle von Taub wäre jedoch m. E. Volakis besser geeignet gewesen - und das nicht nur, weil sie eine Frau ist, sondern auch auf Grund ihres Charakters (sehr selbstbewusst; spinnt Intrigen und wendet Tricks an, um ihre Ziele zu erreichen).

OK todos los discos en buen estado
