Editor's Note Part E.R. and part C.S.I., HOUSE is a medical mystery television show that's appealing due to its creative camerawork, interesting characters, and twisting plotlines. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a brilliant medical professional, but often alienates his patients and co-workers because of his abrasive manner and bitterness. In each episode House is faced with a person exhibiting a number of unusual symptoms, and along with his team of dedicated doctors and nurses, must discover what strange illness is afflicting the patient before it's too late. The show moves at a rapid pace, spurred by its turning and suspenseful plotlines and the lively interaction between the characters, played by a strong supporting cast that includes Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, and Sela Ward. HOUSE: SEASON TWO collects all 24 episodes of the program's second year.

House is a true word-of-mouth phenomenon. For most of its first season, it resided near the bottom of the Neilsen charts, propelled only by a small but vocal group of Anglophiles eager to watch Hugh Laurie on a weekly basis. When those people began telling their friends about the series, the numbers picked up...The series was created by a physician, David Shore, and most episodes are written by doctors; it aims for the same medical accuracy as CSI's forensic accuracy. Shore's initial goal was to develop something like a police drama, but in a hospital setting, and along with executive producer Bryan Singer (X-Men), he's pretty much achieved that...If you don't like the show immediately, you're not alone. But watch at least four episodes before you give up, because House is an acquired taste. And once you've got the taste, you'll eat it up. - Sarah Chauncey
