Good series - By: C. Page, 28 Feb 2010 
This is another good House series, unfortuntely shorter than the others due to the writers' strike. The last two episodes are fantastic. Plenty of special features with this box set too.
IMPORTANT WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THIS SEASON... - By: G. Buckland, 28 Feb 2010 
Great season, despite being short.
If you've enjoyed the previous three seasons then you know exactly what you're getting here, but with enough new twists to keep things fresh.
However, the designers of the box set need a serious kicking for putting series spoilers on the back cover of the DVD. Considering the first 8 episodes or so concern themselves with House whittling down a group of 40 interviewees reality show-style, does it reallly make sense to show the actors who eventuallly "win" alone on the back cover?
If, like me, you have not seen this season before you buy the box-set, I highly recommend that you avoid looking at the back of either the box or the individual sleeves for the first 8 episodes to maximise your enjoyment.
Still, I can't decrease the score due to some idiot's design choices. Great season!
amazing - By: Ms. P. Kay, 28 Dec 2009 I love house so much!!!!! my partner gave me season 1 & 2 as a birthday present in october & i have seen up to season 5. cant wait for season six
House Remodelled - By: underthethumb, 29 Nov 2009 Anybody who has seen the first three seasons of House has come to expect the sarcasm & caustic humour that Hugh Laurie has brought to the role & this season continues in the same vein & so won't disappoint on that front.
I was concerned with how they would continue the series following the end of the third season with the resignation of alll his staff. So, thankfully with this season they have taken the chance to change direction & in the most part it works. Series regulars Jennifer Morrison & Jesse Spencer are reduced to recurring characters which is disappointing but it gives the chance to bring in a string of new characters as House plays the game of recruiting his new staff; while losing his fragile grip on reality even more than usual.
I didn't enjoy it as much as the first three seasons. This could be due to the writer's strike of that year leading to it being cut short (only 16 episodes compared to the 22-24 of previous ones) & the story rushed. Still excellent television though.
Probably the best in the series - By: Henry Gilbert, 20 Nov 2009 Very good. Pretty powerful. Possibly the best episode in alll 5 I have watched so far.
