House, M.D.: Season Six [Blu-ray]
HOUSE:SEASON SIX – Blu-Ray MovieThe sixth season of House, M.D. starts off with a phenomenal two-part episode that sets the tone for the rest of the year. After years of abusing prescription drugs (and colleagues), Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) finds himself in a psychiatric ward as a patient who is not so patient with his own doctor. Smart and manipulative, House tries to finagle his way out of the hospital. But his selfish actions set off a chain reaction of events that manage to shake even his own confidence–temporarily, at least. This season spends a lot of time delving into House’s psyche and the writers do a wonderful job depicting a brilliant, sad, and flawed man who knows more than most, but not enough to save every patient who comes to see him. That glimpse allows viewers to sympathize with his addictions but leaves them guessing as to whether the good doctor will be able to shake his dependency on drugs for good. However, viewers are never actually convinced when House qui

Smartest Show on TV,
Anyone who cares about great writing – hopefully, we’ve all gotten over the loss of Aaron Sorkin for The West Wing – well, okay, nobody’s reached his level – but I continue to be fascinated by this character. Thanks to the writers for delivering intricate character pieces within the “okay, first scene, somebody’s going to contract a mysterious illness right NOW’ basic setup – this show could so easily have sunk to one-trick pony oblivion but for the writing and the amazing acting from Hugh Laurie. If you’ve ever seen him on a talk show and been surprised at his all-too-humble personality, you’re not alone. He transforms himself into this tortured, brilliant, loving and lovable character. He’s acerbic. Brilliant. Sarcastic. Brutally truthful. Hilarious (but you never laugh at this character, only with him). And yes, tortured – by the pain in his leg and, of course, his heart. As I look over the episodes from this season, I’m thinking of one more reason to give it my highest recommendation: if you or anyone you know ever goes into therapy, watch this season. I’ve never seen such a terrific depiction of what therapy is at its best. Ever. And I’ve had many therapists, two of whom had the ability to make me see my world from a different angle, with different eyes. That’s a pitifully inadequate description, so buy this season of House and measure any therapy against what you see in this television show. It really is superlative TV.
