Sure he is egotistical and self centered. The few friends he has are constantly tested. He has an appalling bedside manor with but one saving grace. He saves lives. It may take a while for viewers to catch on. He trains his helpers to think.

I love this show!Have been a fan since the first season aired.Hugh Laurie and the rest of the cast are great on this show!This season introduces us to three new main characters Taub,13, and Kutner they become members of House's team after an elimination contest that House orchestrates and also in the previous season Chase is fired, Cameron quits and Foreman quits even though these main characters as is revealed end up back at Princeton Plainsboro.We also see Amber who becomes a serious part of Wilson's life and the last two episodes House's Head and Wilson's heart are some of the best I have ever seen on the show.Even with he writers strike last season this show remains must watch TV one of the best dramas ever!
If you have never watched "House," you should at least try a couple of episodes. You will either love it or hate it! The acting is superb. The show is an hour long medical mystery blended with the human drama of acute illness and the chronic aspects of the lives of ordinary people. If you have ANY medical knowledge or experience, you will find the scientific aspects of the show fascinating. BUT, it is the people who make this show! Dr. Gregory House, himself (actor Hugh Laurie), is a perfectly despicable human being. He is obviously a genius with a keen understanding of human behavior and human motivations and the ability to READ his colleagues as open books. His only desire in life is to manipulate all those around him. His only interest in life is to diagnose and cure diseases as a challenge to his intellect, not for the benefit of his patients. That they do benefit from the cures is inconsequential to him. That Dr. Lisa Cuddy keeps him on staff is supported by the oft stated simple reason: he saves more lives than any other physician. Is he worth the cost? What is human life worth? Cuddy's self-respect?? I leave the decision to YOU, the viewer!Read full review
We live on a military base overseas so you cannot always find stuff here that we want so I ordered it online. We have been catching up on House sinse we got here. It is certainly addicting. We love it and it has such a great storyline that keeps you coming back for more. I would recomend everyone to watch the show. Of course it has been better getting to watch all of the shows on dvd in order like a movie but I cant wait till season five comes out. We cannot get the shows out here to watch them and it is making us crazy to know that they are almost done with season six. House is a very interesting charactor and we loved the two part on the last disk. It makes you really think about what can really happen in such short time. My heart strings were definately tugged on with that one. This show is probably the best tv series that I have ever watched....Read full review
I am very pleased to see that this item was in as great of condition as described. I'm very disappointed however that an "unpaid item" case was opened before consulting me why the item had not been paid for yet. I have a flawless buyer record, all positive reviews...so I would have prefered to be asked about payment instead of this case opened up. The item was paid for the next day when payment became available. There was no need for that type of measure to have been taken.
