Fourth Season disappointing -- new writers.
10 people found this review helpful.
I agree with others who have noted that the first three seasons of
"House" were very noticeably better-written than the fourth season
has been. Check it out, you'll find that there's a whole new bunch
of writings pumping out the scripts and story lines of the fourth
season. One would think that FOX went out and hired teenagers to
write the 4th season episodes. It's one thing for Dr. House to be
irritable, sarcastic, and even unethical (for the sake of a greater
good). It's quite another thing for Dr. House to be just a jerk --
and apparently "for its own sake." Do these new writers actually
believe that we who form House's original fan base have just been
hoping that someday the main character would become lots more rude
and despicable. One of the neatest twists to the early seasons was
the way the viewer was drawn to identify with the lead character,
despite his outward grumpiness, because beneath all that was
someone who had not only a sharp, witty tongue but also exceptional
diagnostic skills and a basic goodness of character.
That Dr. House evolved during this fourth season into someone most
of us would not want to talk with, let alone work alongside in a
medical career. Ironically, it's far easier to identify with that
little gecko character who comes on during the "House" commercial
breaks. [Hey, I wonder if that's what they intended all along...]

The House of God
1 person found this review helpful.
Its nice to see a different trend in pop culture TV. House allows
the viewer to indulge. Its great the show tests faith and how it
affects alertness. House is a great show. I hope watchers have the
courage to question their beliefs.

Not your typical medical show
"House" thrives on the wackiness of Hugh Laurie. The show has
definitely grown & evolved since it's launch.
Enjoyable but some cases do seem a little extreme and how House
will direct his team to diagnose (Do everything until something
sticks)

House
The TV series House is excellent. My friends and I have been
watching it since it first began. Love the show. The DVDs of all
its seasons on the air are excellent.

Great acting, good stories
It doesn't get any better than this series. It's all due to Hugh
Laurie who brings a dark, cynical humor to the role. It's a smart
show.

This Is The Doctor Every Likes To Hate
House, M.D. - Season One
I refused to watch this TV series for two years. My children ages
16, 19 & 21 had been watching the show and raving about it. I
saw a 10 minute scene with "Dr House" Hugh Laurie and thought he
was rude, obnoxious and mean a purpose. Didn't plan on ever
watching it again and by happenstance watched an episode where time
was critical to a patient that had every test know to medical
science and House's weird genius was clued in by some nothing
comment by his best friend and solved the case. The thing I really
like about the show is a great supporting cast that is easy to
like. I like the fact that genius though House may be he is
sometimes too smart for his own good and those around him take
advantage of this which kind of evens out his rude, obnoxious
behavior. Lisa Edelstein and Jennifer Morrison's characters are
just tough enough to deal with this ego maniac and obivously this
is one of the best written shows on TV today. The medical
explanations are illustrated with special effects graphics that are
easy to follow and compliment the storyline. "ER" has been and
still is a great TV series but House M.D. takes it to a different
level. You don't have 15 characters to develop and follow. This is
some of the best TV yet.

House: Skeptical at first, But...
When the last season ended I was thinking that there was no way I
would get back into enjoying House again as I could not imagine it
without the original supporting cast. However, it has been really
enjoyable and captivating following the direction they are heading
and also getting to gain insight into the new characters as they
unfold. I love this show! Dr.House (Hugh Laurie) is such an
excellent and diverse actor he can make just about any situation
"work" and be beliveable! Go House!
