 Rating:  - Great Series. Shame about Amazon.This is a great show, and a great season as well. The medical mysteries continue but the appearances of Sela Ward as House's ex-girlfriend, last seen in the final 2 episodes of Season 1, keeps the show from coming too procedural & boring. The set is quite good, which is somewhat unusual for Universal Studios U.K. who previously treated us to a House: Season 1 in 4:3 fullscreen. This set is in Widescreen, Universal pulled their finger out it seems. It has all the extras found on the American DVD as well, again somewhat unusual for Universal U.K. The weird Universal packaging, where by the box is backwards, continues for whatever reason. I can only pontificate that they found a good deal on slightly-defective boxes, but who knows. The DVD is quite good & Universal did an OK job, Amazon, however didn't. They, or the ones in the tax haven, sent it in rather bad shape. The box is dented and ripped in places, and some of the thincases inside the box are damaged as well (the plastic DVD holders snapped). I'd send it back if I didn't fear I'd get something even worse next time. On the plus side, it arrived quite quickly. It was poorly packaged, so it's not clear where it went wrong - either with Royal Mail, due to the wafer thin packet it was sent in, or with IndigoCrabFish. Rating: - I Love ItAfter the triumphant debut of the first season of House, many people believed it couldn't be topped. How wrong they were. Season Two not only shut up all the skeptics, it slapped them for even being doubtful. Season Two not only had the absence of the annoying character of Vogler, it gave us a deeper insight into all the characters. At the end of Season One we were introduced to House's ex Stacy. During Season Two we're given a more complex look on their past and their true relationship. The Stacy/House episodes introduce to the fans a deeper complexity to House and we see a more genuine side, rather than the typically cynical House we're used to. There is one episode which I found a bit too much and felt it was pushing to be controversial. I know it still had a point and didn't fail to entertain and give some deep meaningful message that some will miss somewhere. I'm not going to tell you the episode as you will all know it when you see it. This season also features two very tough to deal with episodes as Foreman is taken down by a life threatening disease, that even House struggles to solve. As always the show is filled with excellent quotes by House and the team. Below are some of my picks. From Episode 1: Acceptance: Foreman: "Aren't there better ways to spend our time?" House: "Good question. What makes a person deserving? Is a man who cheats on his wife more deserving than a man who kills his wife?" Foreman: "Uh yeah. Actually, he is." House: "What about a child molester? Certainly not a good guy, but he didn't kill anybody. Maybe he can get antibiotics, but no MRIs. What about you? What medical care should you be denied for being a car thief? Tell you what: the three of you work out a list of what medical treatments a person loses based on the crime they committed. I'll review it when I get back." From Episode 5: Daddys Boy: House: "Gimme a reason to get out of this, and I'll tell you who started the rumor about you being a transsexual." Cuddy: "There is no such rumor." House: "There will be unless you get me out of this dinner." From Episode 24: No Reason: House: "Here's how life works: you either get to ask for an apology or you get to shoot people. Not both." Rating: - Endlessly Interesting, but not to all tastesAfter easing viewers into the abrasive honesty and bitterness of Doctor Gregory House in series one, this series takes things that bit further, as Doctor House upsets even more people, flouts even more medical ethics, and infuriates his fellow doctors even more. House can be hilariously funny, but not to everyone's tastes. If you are easily offended, don't watch this series, since every kind of patient is fair game for Doctor House' shocking but often very accurate observations. He doesn't discriminate; he just says what's on his mind, all of the time, and this understandably upsets many of his patients, culminating in a serious confrontation with one of his patients at the end of this series. Other highlights in this series include the frequent repartee between House and his friend, and fellow doctor, Wilson, played by Robert Sean Leonard. Wilson's constant attempts to try and psychoanalyze House, as well as his many witty comebacks are very enjoyable to watch. The relationships between House and his three main subordinates, Chase, Cameron and Foreman also make interesting viewing. This programme has a lot to offer in terms of confronting issues which affect all humans, and it also has much to say on human nature, and where exactly most humans stand when it comes to brutal honesty. Approached with an open mind, this series will amuse and interest. Just don't watch it if you're easily offended, or the sheer convincing rudeness of Hugh Laurie's performance will have you shouting with outrage. Rating: - "House call"Cannot praise this show, it is rubbish don't waste your time...NOT..LOve it again the Genius of House md will make you think about LIFE from all angles, can we handle it, bring it on. Rating: - TV programming at its greatest!House M.D. is the greatest show on TV, Dr Houses personality is the greatest attraction of the show, Imagine the opposite of what you would expect from a doctor and you have House. Controversial, stubborn, confrontational and doesnt give two hoots about anyones opinion. Foreman, Chase and Cameron are Houses punching bag along with Dr. Cuddy, then theres Dr. Wilson the one who has any kind of friendship with House. Season 2 has some of the best episodes as yet, 'Euphoria Pt 1' and 'Pt 2' are both excellent as well as 'All in'. The programme is still going strong on its fourth season now and this DVD box set would make a good addiotion to anyones collection!
