For Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), there's nothing like a good, tension-filled competition to pick his new team of doctors when his old trio of Chase (Jesse Spencer), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Foreman (Omar Epps) leave his fold. Among the 40 newbies vying to earn the coveted spots in the fourth season of House, M.D. are Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn, the Harold & Kumar films), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson, Transformers) and Dr., uh, Thirteen (Olivia Wilde, The O.C.). Taking a cue from Flavor Flav, House dubs the latter with that nickname simply because he can. Though frequently politically incorrect, House is almost always spot on when it comes to diagnosing rare diseases and ailments. His boss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) puts up with his unorthodox quirks, which include antagonizing patients, berating his colleagues, and being an overall pain in the butt, because he's brilliant. The addition of the new doctors adds a bit of chaos early on. But once the contingent is whittled away to the select few, the storylines grow stronger and the chemistry between the old and new cast members gels. Originally shown during the 2007-2008 television season, House aired only 16--rather than its usual 24--episodes, due to the Writers Guild strike. Though a bit of momentum is lost in the last third of the season, the writers do an admirable job of piecing together loose ends without sacrificing plot or structure. In a nice homage to the Prescription Passion, the General Hospital-esque soap opera he loves, House at one point is afflicted with amnesia. The humorous aspect of the story is offset by urgency as he tries to remember what needs to be done to save a patient. On a separate episode, House kidnaps the star of the daytime drama (played by Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis) because he's convinced the actor is dying. The season finale is heartbreaking, as one of House's 40 candidates is in a life-and-death situation that even the good doctor may not be able to cure. --Jae-Ha Kim

Content: For the first start of the season, it's only a little more varied than the normal House formula. But the season finale(s) are very well thought out and edge of your seat good. If you are to watch 2 episodes from season 4 I would recommend the last two.
Summary: Starts the same, ends strong

Content: I was so excited when the forth season of House M.D. became available. My husband and I are huge House fans. I was somewhat shocked when I got season four to find that it only had sixteen episodes. I felt somewhat cheated. Then watching it I felt that the first five or six episodes, while okay, seemed more like some reality TV show where House is eliminating his choices for his team down to three. I became more interested in who was going to be fired next than House's brilliant diagnosis' and bizarre treatments. Once House picks his team, the shows begin to feel more like those of season's one thru three. But then the two part season finale hits kind of out of place with the rest of the season. I felt like I had skipped a couple of episodes. I don't want to spoil the season for anyone who hasn't seen it, but I will say that the finale was completely unexpected. True House fans might be somewhat dissapointed as I was, but true fans will still buy it and watch it.
Summary: House Fans Beware

Content: I was very pleased to discover the new Green Box and the creative innovations within. For me, the Bonus Features alone are worth the very reasonable pri$e of admission! I felt that the homeroom class of 30 new Survivor candidates resusitated new life into the show as we had tired of the whiteboard's inclusion of (the usual suspect)"lupus", & witnessing for the umpteenth time a tracheotomy, (ugh) etc,---but now,new & exotic computer generated special effects enhanced the story of the would-be Astronaut. And there's comic relief as House's electric guitar is kidnapped for ransom by a terrorist! And that Cutthroat B____ (Amber) "has legs that go all the way up to Canada". Also, a beautiful scientist at the South Pole disrobes live and on camera for a physical examination by Dr.H. Doesn't anything excite him? And you might Not believe who has become a Stripper! As we know, the world revolves around our ever enigmatic misanthrope, House. The writer's biggest challenge is the huge research going into new medical conundrums. But our dedicated team of writers and producers are unflagging and seek out new twists & turns. Holmes/Wilson are the modern day Sherlock & Dr Watson ...warts & all but Occam's Razor is beneath the pay grade of our Greg House. After enduring their share of insults, Kutner, Taub & Ms13 were chosen as the new team & they are excellent and will strive to keep the life-support system working for our quirky and pugnacious Dr.H.and will protect him from harming himself & others. I would like to see more medical anomalies such as a new strain of Elephantiasis without a known cause, and a case of immaculate conception (which does occur abeit extremly rarely). And of course the usual soup du jour of cul de sacs. So what's coming next Season? The first 4 Episodes are to bridge the gap from the short lived Season 4 (due to WGA strike) & to tie up some loose ends & start new oddities, yet they will be joined at the hip to the Season 5 proper. Also, the perfect relationship of House & Wilson may be Doomed---stay tuned. Alright now---all around the House!
Summary: Season Four--IN BOX!!

Content: This is probably the Best season!! House not only faces new challenges but the re-emrgence of the old staff in new positions was a nice touch, as was the whole competition for the new staff.
Summary: Only Morons Rate Season 4 With 1-3 Stars!!!!

Content: I haven't had so much fun with a show since The West Wing, and then they changed the cast aaaghhh why why?? why do such thing?, I forced my self to see the fourth season, and I still like House tremendously but, something was missing, it just was not the same. Someone please give us back the team!!
Summary: No like before
