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 iHouse, M.D./i are Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn, the iHarold Kumar/i films), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson, iTransformers/i) and Dr., uh, Thirteen (Olivia Wilde, iThe O.C./i). 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, iHouse/i 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 iPrescription Passion/i, the iGeneral Hospital/i-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 iSex and the City/i 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. i--Jae-Ha Kim/i

I own season 1-3 on dvd and I always used to watch House on television...and in fact would wait for this show to come on each week. br /br /However, this show is just absolutely terrible now. It's a wonder that it's still on television.br /br /The new characters are lame and the whole show just seems like the writers ran out of ideas for the original characters but yet didn't want to forgo making money! Also, they dumbed down this show significantly from the first 3 seasons. br /br /I absolutely hate it when shows sellout and become all about the money rather than just being concerned with writing good entertainment and sadly this is what this show has become.br /
