Features: DVD
Go deeper into the medical mysterious of House, TV's most compelling drama. Hugh Laurie stars as the brilliant but sarcastic Dr. Gregory House, a maverick physician who is devoid of bedside manner. While his behavior can border on antisocial, Dr. House thrives on the challenge of solving the medical puzzles that other doctors give up on. Together with his hand-picked team of young medical experts, he'll do whatever it takes in the race against the clock to solve the case. It's the intriguing series TV Guide's Mat Roush hails as "...the uncommon cure for the common medical drama."This 18 disc collection includes all 86 episodes from the first four seasons of House!

Editor's Note
Winning a raft of Emmy, Peabody, and Golden Globe Awards, HOUSE became one of the Fox network's most critically acclaimed and most watched series during its first four seasons. The hospital-set drama, celebrated for its intelligent, complex medical mysteries and searing wit, stars Hugh Laurie as Dr. House, a sharp-tongued diagnostician who loves pills, puzzles, and imperiously thwarting his administrator nemesis, Dr. Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). In its initial season, House is flanked by a trio of beleaguered employees: Drs. Chase (Jesse Spencer), Foreman (Omar Epps), and Cameron (Jennifer Morrison). Together with oncologist James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), the teammates form House's sounding board; they carry out--and regularly contradict--their boss's directions while solving bizarre cases, including a mysterious disease in the maternity ward, a teenager with night terrors, and a child who won't stop bleeding. Season four sees a shift in the line-up, injecting fresh blood in the form of young doctor-detectives played by Kal Penn (HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE), Olivia Wilde (THE OC), and Peter Jacobson. Throughout every imaginative episode, House and his team face personal and ethical issues that include weighing one patient's life against another's, figuring out the moral implications of lying (which House insists everyone does), and coping with the baggage that accompanies genius.
