Life with Rudy

Gregory House, MD

Tuesday, May 16, 2006

I have completed the entire first season of House, MD which I purchased at Wal-Mart on DVD.  It's a total of 24 shows, each 40-45 minutes long, since there are no commercials, thus totaling approx. 16 hours.  Not to mention some fairly cool Special Features including the set tour, and some behind the scenes stuff.  After watching the set tour, you literally watch the shows differently.  It finally turns into a "show".  Before, House seemed more of a reality.  I mean, there for a while I didn't worry about getting seriously sick, because I knew last chance I'd go to House's hospital and get him to find out what's wrong.  But Hugh Laurie just isn't that smart, now is he.

I don't think I had a "favorite" episode.  I'll have to think about that one.  The ones with the new chaiman of the board was really good, but I won't spoil anything.  I sat down at times and watched three or four episodes at once.  It took me 6 nights in total to get through them all.  Three DVD's, but all double sided, so really it's six DVD's. 

Was it worth the 55 bucks?  You better believe it.  I'm actually considering doing this all over again in the not too distant future!

Cofessions:

I'm slightly addicted to House.  I love it.  It's a wicked show, not the kind I normally watch, but House isn't any normal show.  I almost got addicted to Monk as well, but that went out with the tide, so I'm sticking with House.

Some of these shows I saw before, but I watched them again anyway.  Also, there was one show on the DVD I saw before and I knew I didn't really like, so I opted not to watch that one.

I don't find the first season as "edgy" as the second one.  I fell in love with the second one, and I'm desperate for these final two episodes to be over, so I can get out and buy that DVD set too!! :D:D:D

A few episodes of House I didn't really like.  One episode had a bit more cursing than normal, and I didn't really like that, some of the shows dealt with subject matter that I really frown upon, and some more shows I wondered if I should be watching this.  BUT, on the other hand, some more shows we perfectly clean, with not a single (even minor) curse word, contained no questionable subject matter, and even censored some stuff which I was very impressed by.

Anyways, that's my story.  House really is a great show.  Highly my favorite on TV.  Which reminds me... IT COMES ON TONIGHT!!!!!  YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Keep Lookin Up


P.S. What's goin on with American Idol now?  Is Simon dead yet?
