"House begins its fifth season on a somber note. With his girlfriend, Amber, dead, Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) finds his friendship with the cantankerous Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) to be more strained than ever and temporarily leaves the hospital where they work. He eventually returns, which is a good thing, because Wilson is the closest thing House has to a moral compass. The writers of this drama do an admirable job of inserting elements of well-placed comedy into the often-intense vignettes. Otherwise, House wouldn't be such a likable character. In fact, without the humor, he can often be downright despicable, especially to those he supposedly likes the most. Viewers learn that his lack of bedside manner (in and out of the hospital) probably was passed down from his father (R. Lee Ermey, who makes a brief appearance). All 24 episodes--which originally aired during the 2008-2009 television season--are included in this five-disc boxed set. A few of the episodes are tainted by a soap opera vibe, particularly the ones concentrating on the romance between Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) and Dr. Remy ""Thirteen"" Hadley (Olivia Wilde). Based on the first four seasons, Foreman's behavior seems way off. While love can change a man, it doesn't seem likely that Foreman would change this much--not even for someone as compelling as Thirteen. But House's boss, Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), has a juicy story line involving her quest to have a family. The struggles she goes through to adopt a baby depict how challenging it can be for women--even those who excel at everything else--to have it all. But her story line also shows that she is more resilient than she gives herself credit for. For all its medical jargon and scenes set in the operating room, House really is about relationships more than anything else. That's why when another character tragically dies this season, viewers take the loss to heart. --Jae-Ha Kim "

 Quite possibly the best season yet... November 18, 2009
K. Ptacek (MN)
Hugh Laurie triumphs again in his sarcastic, cynical ways. Season five captivates the audience with not only his new team, but new and inventive problems in his patients, and himself. One of the best and my personal favorite drama series on TV, it's worth the low price. Recommended for anyone with even a hint of sarcasm in their bones, but not for the weak at heart.
 House Season 5 November 17, 2009
K. Colon
Very good season with a surprising end despite some of the obvious subplots and predictable endings to some of the episodes. The characters' stories start to take over the show and the "diagnosing" takes a back seat to some of the "drama", but still a good season.
HOUSE, BEST DR ON TV November 17, 2009
Teri Carlson (Joliet, Ill USA)
HOUSE IS THE BEST MEDICAL SHOW ON TV. HE MAY BE A CRAZY DR BUT HE IS ALL FOR FINDING A CURE EVEN IF HE DOESN'T LIKE PEOPLE. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A DR LIKE HOUSE.
I NOW OWN ALL 5 SEASONS AND EAGERLY AWAIT SEASON 6. I HOPE HOUSE CONTINUES FOR YEARS.

I keep wanting to give it 6 Stars! November 17, 2009

A one-of-a-kind series, House, M.D.: Season 5 brings to the screen more everyday encounters of a team of doctors at the Diagnostics department of the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey under the supervision of Dr. Gregory House.
Hugh Laurie, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, and the rest of this EXTRAORDINARY cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the series is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills, not to mention a few laughs and tears. House, M.D. does a great job of describing people's different personalities, fears, and the problems they face. It is all about life, death, human relations, hope, pain, and inner strength.
The acting, the setting, the plot (and subplots), the dialogues, and the music (!) are just wonderful! It is indeed a rarity when an amazing series such as this comes by.
In short, House, M.D. is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection (if you haven't done so already)! KEEP'EM COMING!!!
