I bought te set in August from amazon.com. We live in Japan which is really slow at showing new programmes from the US and UK and in the summer of they were still showing season 3! We couldn't wait and weren't disappointed. The medical cases as really bizarre and the new situation of House creating a new team is highly entertaining (although Foreman's position is not quite clear and doesn't quite fit the new situation it seems ... and its a bit strange to see Cameron more smiley and jolly). You do lose a bit of fizz towards the end of the series (the new team don't have that snap crackle pop like the old ones). However, the last two episodes are brilliant! It's just a shame the series was so short. The extras on the DVD set are a bit better ... Read More:

I was a latecomer to 'House' but better late than never.
Hugh Laurie plays the miserable yet brilliant Dr. House with some style. You almost forget he is a Brit.
I have watched many hospital dramas - ER, St Elsewhere, Casualty, etc, as there is something uniquely engaging about the medical environment. Those series have been mainly dramas while House is something else. It's a part drama, part sit-com and part geeky medical show.
The basic premise involves patients being admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with very mixed symptoms that complicate the medical diagnoses. House uses his talented young medical team to treat the symptoms but the patients usually take a turn for the worse upon treatment ... Read More:

After the triumphant debut of the first season of House, many people believed it couldn't be topped. How wrong they were. Season Two not only shut up all the skeptics, it slapped them for even being doubtful. Season Two not only had the absence of the annoying character of Vogler, it gave us a deeper insight into all the characters. At the end of Season One we were introduced to House's ex Stacy. During Season Two we're given a more complex look on their past and their true relationship. The Stacy/House episodes introduce to the fans a deeper complexity to House and we see a more genuine side, rather than the typically cynical House we're used to.
There is one episode which I found a bit too much and felt it was pushing to be controversial. I ... Read More:

This is a truly awful film. I know a bit about how religions operate, and this was the most schmaltzy load of codswollop I have ever seen. It was totally implausible, glib, over the top, crass and dull.
There was nothing subtle or understated. The priest is a cardboard cutout, the rabbi is a joke and the business woman is a caricature. Appalling. It wasn't even funny.
If Richard Curtis went to America and did a film about religion, this would be it.

I love this film, some may say it's stupid and childish, but if you don't take this too seriously and just sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful film.
There's a fair amount of childish humour, kicking people in various parts of the anatomy, children running riot over 2/3 adult males who've lost their jobs or quit and dealing with the competition, plus the dreaded inspector.
There are some great performances from the kids (especially Max Burkholder) who plays Eddie Murphys son, as for Eddie Murphy he puts in a more serious comedic performance than we may be used to, (more like his performance in Life), plus good solid turns by Steve Zahn, Anjelica Huston and Jeff Garlin.
