I fell in love with "House M.D." when I first watched it on DVD about a year ago exactly when I reviewed season one of this Golden Globe-winning show starring Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House. I described the show as a mixture of "ER" meets "C.S.I." meets "Without a Trace" and if you now throw in the comedic stylings of "Grey's Anatomy" you have "House", and that is saying a lot considering the ratings power of those four shows. Almost every single TV DVD set I review comes with a quote from some reviewer stating that "This is the best show on TV," and most often that is just silly, but when it comes to "House" it just might ring true.

I know that last statement is considered blasphemy to all you "Grey's Anatomy", "Lost" and "Prison Break" fanatics, but outside of "Grey's" none of those options holds a candle to "House". This show is intelligent, witty and on many occasions highly emotional. While this second season isn't as good as the first it still manages to keep me watching episode after episode.

There are a few plot twists, such as when Dr. Foreman (Omar Epps) becomes House's boss for a couple weeks, that are silly incoluding when the writers take way too much liberty with House's egomaniacal behavior making him sometimes seem like a crazy man rather than an intelligent and motivated doctor with a competitive edge. That said, I only wish other shows would push the limits as far as "House" does without cheap ploys to add suspense and mystery. The mystery is in the disease and the reason to keep watching is because you know there is going to be a resolution, not a silly cliffhanger that will ultimately end up being bogus (yeah, I am calling you out "Lost").

Instead "House" gives you little bits and pieces of the characters that make up the show as the episodes roll along, and the more layers you peel the closer you get to each. You will find an excellent example of this in the two-part episode ("Euphoria") where Foreman gets a serious disease that leaves him on the brink of death.

The DVD special features are in the same good nature as the first season with a blooper reel, a silly little alternate take on a scene in which the ladies of "House" do the scene as if it was played by "Valley Girls" (like, I am so sure), a goofy little montage showing just how often the quote "It could be Lupus" pops up, an "Evening with House" featurette and a series of audio commentaries with the show's producers. The collection of features is light and entertaining, but the commentaries aren't exactly something I would recommend.

What I would recommend is this season of "House" and the first if you haven't bought it already. This is a show worth watching and if you haven't caught it yet you won't believe what you are missing.
