If you love watching the antics of Gregory House, the cranky, pill-popping entity that solves mind boggling medical cases on the Fox network for the last seven television seasons you will want to buy the latest DVD set from online sources to get the best buy. House M.D. season six is available for online purchase now just in time to review before the new season begins.

Buying the DVD collection of House MD means you can review the shows at your leisure so you can replay the scenes where the medical jargon passes you up in frenetic seasons where Hugh Laurie, Jesses Spencer, Olivia Wilde, Lisa Edelstein and the rest of the cast do their best hospital employee impersonations.

Why do we love medical shows?

 

House MD capitalizes on the long standing love affair between viewers and medical dramas. We are drawn to these jewels by the taut physical drams that all humans can relate to. No matter what physical malady is offered on the various episodes we either have had something similar or have a friend, cousin or acquaintance with something similar enough to allow us to empathize with the patient.

It is why such shows as Marcus Welby, Chicago hope, ER and Saint Elsewhere did so well during their long runs. It is something that seems real to each of us as sickness visits our human race on a regular basis.

Why is House MD so popular?

 

 

I think the brusque personality portrayed so flawlessly by Hugh Laurie is what attracts so many viewers to this show. Mr. Laurie makes us believe he is indeed the chronically cranky and constantly in pain physician who has an innate ability to sense what is ailing the special cases that are tossed his way.

Of course the inclusion of Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer and Olivia Wilde as equal components of the hospital staff is just as important, with their ability to render believable turns in the roles they were carefully selected to fit.

The character’s interactions are also enjoyable to watch

 

 

The relationship with Dr. House with his best friend Doctor James Wilson, who more often is simply called Wilson are hilarious. Wilson tries to always do the right thing while House will do whatever best suits his intentions. The pair is quickly establishing themselves as one of the premiere acting duos on television today.

Not to be upstaged by any other will they or won’t they male-female plot, the relationship between House and hospital administrator Lisa Cuddy has been a major element of the plot over the last couple of seasons. Lisa Edelstein wavers between the tough as nails chief of the hospital and a woman who sees what she has always wanted in the flawed genius of Doctor Gregory house.

Mix in the love relationships of Doctors Chase, Cameron and foreman and you have a great show worthy of much attention that draws a large legion of fans each season. It is one of the biggest reasons Fox is no longer a minor broadcast network.

The House DVD is packed with extras

 

 

All the DVD offerings from the major television networks are packed full of extras to make you want to purchase the titles. With behind the scenes footage you can see what it is really like as your favorite actors make the magic that you love to watch on your television screen. You get interviews with the stars as well as the creator, David Shore and the writers, directors and producers who all make the show come together to be so great to watch.

There are also some of the outtakes, or bloopers that inevitably happen when the stars are working such long hours trying to get a show taped of this length. As casts become use to each other there are also often pranks that are perpetrated on unsuspecting cast members that will thrill you as you watch all the special features on the DVD set.

Dr. House is one of the most unique rolls created on TV in quite some time, maybe equal to Monk is interest. Buying the DVD's for home is a very good idea. I enjoy watching all of the extra stuff you get with a DVD that you don't get to see on TV. The inside 'scoop' if you will!

I love this show but unfortunately, I've not kept up very well with the series. I dropped off somewhere between season 4 and 6... I see an episode every now and then of unknown season. Thanks for the update on the DVDs.

K9 - I had not really thought about Monk and House in the same category, but you certainly are correct, they are both fantastic turns by very gifted actors. The ability of Mr. Laurie to so perfectly immerse himself in this role is validated by the huge following the show has built over its life.

kaltopsyd - We became huge House fans watching the re-runs on the USA Network. 8 PM is too early for couples with kids as there is homework and baths to get out of the way first.

I keep hearing about this programme and how good it is. I avoid most hospital dramas so that is why I have never watched it.

But I keep coming across viewers who recommend it. I think maybe it is time to take a look lol. Might treat myself to the DVDs as a christmas present.

viking and HH -

House MD is a fine medical drama that keeps you engaged due to its incredible interaction between the cast. It is not a sleep with the first opposite or same sex person you like premise, but builds on relationships. It is certainly worth your time.

I would love to one day take credit for writing such a series as this. It would be my ultimate thrill, or at least one of them. I thinkk the NY Times Bestseller or the Pultizer Prize have to share equal billing.

Nice series, but the accent.....

I was impressed the first time I really heard an interview Hugh Laurie on how he can control his accent. I think it would have been more interesting if he had been a doctor from the UK stuck in America and dealing with what he does.

House has been a constant marathon on one of my cable stations, I think i would be literally killed by my wife if i added a dvd to our collection too

But I might just do it anyways, Im impressed that he can control the accent also, might have funny to let him show the accent during his more drug addled moments ...blimey, hes so blitzen on the vicers, hes talking like a limey

I enjoy the series because it seems to be quite realistic in dealing with what kind of chronic pain can do toa person, even if they are a medical whizz.

I had not thought about the angle of letting his accent play dyirng the substance affected times, but that is brilliant. too bad the creators of House aren't with us here. Perhaps they will read this hub or the comments along the way.

It is amazing to me that "House", Hugh Laurie can so perfectly speak without his British accent on this series. I think the public has a fascination with the humanity he displaces, although he is in the often lauded field of medicine, not just an M.D., but his character is portrayed as the most brilliant diagnostician in the medical center. In that capacity, there are many doctors and medical personnel that struggle with drug addiction. The stress of their daily endeavors combined with the accessibility of narcotics creates this reality. Despite the fact that, still today, doctors are held to a higher standard than the general public, it is of great interest to see that their lives are plagued with the same problems as every other human being. They still put their pants on one leg at a time.

Amy - What is it about doctors that we want to elevate them above all the other important professions in our world? Perhaps it is a matter of believing that as long as doctors can change the world we are safe from the diseases that ravage our bodies.

You are correct about the access to drugs that thankfully the balance of us do not have. It is impressive to me when a doctor has this avenue, yet keeps a clean reputation by understanding his role as a caregiver and not one who takes advantage of his opportunity.

Thanks for reading and commenting.
