Movie Reviews of House, M.D. - Season Four

Movie Review: Spend Less Time with House.
Summary: 3 Stars

I believe House to be an excellent show, but the DVD sets have been somewhat disappointing. For House Season 4, the episodes were obviously reduced due to the WGA Strike, and, even so, nearly nothing was done to offset this imbalance when assembling these DVD's.

The set's presentation hasn't changed much between the first four season sets. The menu system is assembled nearly identical to the previous DVD's, only sporting a new background image. However, the quality of the video and sound are excellent, and the subtitles have only minor issues in spelling.

The largest issue is the lack of Special Features; The DVD set is nearly devoid of them. With the exception of commentary for episode 15, entitled "House's Head," there's nothing else to be found in the set. Fans should be aware of this before making a purchase.

The quality of the show's content will always be up for debate, but fans will enjoy some or most of what Season 4 has to offer. Many episodes may be lacking in quality and characterization, but the final two episodes of the season are superb.

My recommendation is to purchase this set at a discount, due to the lack of Special Features.

Summary of House, M.D. - Season Four

Prepare for even more baffling, complex and shocking medical mysteries than ever before as every season four episode of House arrives on DVD! Reunite with the perplexing and prickly Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie in his two-time Golden Globe?-winning role) as he tackles impossible cases while putting a new staff of potential team members - including Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle), Peter Jacobson (The Starter Wife), and Olivia Wilde (The Black Donnellys) - through the medical wringer with his trademark sarcasm and irreverent bedside manner. Get ready for another dose of one of TV's most original dramas and what Entertainment Weekly calls "One of the most compelling characters in TV history."
For Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), there's nothing like a good, tension-filled competition to pick his new team of doctors when his old trio of Chase (Jesse Spencer), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Foreman (Omar Epps) leave his fold. Among the 40 newbies vying to earn the coveted spots in the fourth season of House, M.D. are Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn, the Harold & Kumar films), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson, Transformers) and Dr., uh, Thirteen (Olivia Wilde, The O.C.). Taking a cue from Flavor Flav, House dubs the latter with that nickname simply because he can. Though frequently politically incorrect, House is almost always spot on when it comes to diagnosing rare diseases and ailments. His boss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) puts up with his unorthodox quirks, which include antagonizing patients, berating his colleagues, and being an overall pain in the butt, because he's brilliant. The addition of the new doctors adds a bit of chaos early on. But once the contingent is whittled away to the select few, the storylines grow stronger and the chemistry between the old and new cast members gels. Originally shown during the 2007-2008 television season, House aired only 16--rather than its usual 24--episodes, due to the Writers Guild strike. Though a bit of momentum is lost in the last third of the season, the writers do an admirable job of piecing together loose ends without sacrificing plot or structure. In a nice homage to the Prescription Passion, the General Hospital-esque soap opera he loves, House at one point is afflicted with amnesia. The humorous aspect of the story is offset by urgency as he tries to remember what needs to be done to save a patient. On a separate episode, House kidnaps the star of the daytime drama (played by Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis) because he's convinced the actor is dying. The season finale is heartbreaking, as one of House's 40 candidates is in a life-and-death situation that even the good doctor may not be able to cure. --Jae-Ha Kim
