Two-time Golden Globe Winner and Primetime Emmy Award nominee Hugh Laurie is back making "House" calls in all 24 engaging episodes of this hit medical series! Dr. Gregory House (Laurie) still has the most unapologetically prickly bedside manner ever but his genius for solving medical mysteries other practitioners can't has earned him the respect of his team. In this provocative and compelling season House's unpredictable cases - from killer germs to killer secrets - strain his already tenuous relationship with his co-workers and put his own health at risk. Take the doctor's orders: make House: Season Three a habit!System Requirements:Running Time: 219 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:Â NR UPC:Â 025195008136 Manufacturer No:Â 61100973

Customer Rating:      Summary: Best deal in town Comment: The discs were in perfect condition and I got them even sooner than I expected. I am very impressed and happy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: excellent Comment: I am a late-comer to this show. Network television is horrible. Trying to find something to watch that is well-written, amusing, riveting, and intelligent is difficult to discover.
House MD is all of the above.
The series of DVDs, from season 1 thru 4, are worth the money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: house season3 Comment: [ like it very muchi would like to see it go down in price a little bit
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best Season Yet Comment: Was the best season yet, very exciting. Can't wait to see what happens next year.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gregory House makes an exceptional Sherlock Holmes Comment: This is a great series with fine actors given extraordinary scripts so they can show off their talents. House is the perfect antihero. He's certainly not Doctor Kildare, but despite his handicaps, physical and emotional, he never wavers from doing right--at least in his eyes.
Have we seen this character before? Of course. As many have pointed out, Gregory House is based on Sherlock Holmes. He's arrogant, a drug abuser, solves murderous mysteries, plays a musical instrument, has a best friend named Wilson instead of Watson (who, like Holmes, he always calls by his last name), lives at the same street address (221B), gets bored easy, and at a glance he can deduce a person's recent activities
The creators pay homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (a doctor that says Holmes was based partly on Dr. Bell) by giving their characters similar names to Doyle's creation and throwing occasional hints at the audience; like the episode where House says he got another Conan Doyle book for Christmas or giving the man who shot House the name of Moriarty.
If you find the Holmes/House connections interesting, you might try

Most people don't realize that Sherlock Holmes is the most depicted character in film--over 200 movies or TV shows. Perhaps they ought to add all the House episodes to this tally.
