House M.D.

[Drusky]

I enjoyed this series soooo much that I have decided to kick the pirate and buy it. So where do you fellows suggest I look? Musica can sell it to me locally for R400 buck, but I've see it on:

Kalamari: (out of stock of season 3)... Surfing the kalamari site is like trying to catch a wave on the Vaal Dam, try searching their site :grr:
Take 2: prices range from R370 to R375 (http://www.take2.co.za/list.php?type=1&qsearch=house)
Dodgy Bid or Buy: Box set R675 (http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/7408722/HOUSE_M_D_Season_1_3_DVD_Boxset_Free_Postage.html)

Musica is getting the soundtrack (http://www.amazon.com/House-M-D-Original-Tv-Soundtrack/dp/B000W046AI/ref=pd_bbs_12?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1211958364&sr=8-12) for me for R220 odd :hyper:

Looks like Take 2 is best.

I'd much prefer a House box set but I'm not sure if or when such a delight will become available through the preferred channels.

Have you tried amazon.co.uk? Though it would probably be worthwhile to get a bit more stuff.

I would go with either take 2(months) or kalamari.

If you like, I can take a look at Musica Warehouse in Sandton and see what they have (can get and ship to you)?

I've watched 1 episode of House, And hugh laurie is flippen awesome! - Having said that - I prefer to keep his image of George in Black Adder as his paramount and defining role...

That and the fact that I DETEST medical/courtroom dramas keeps me from watching this otherwise-very-good show.

Good luck Drusky - Btw, try and borrow "Flight of the conchords" from Stu & Odie ... you'll absolutely LOVE IT (I doubt they've bothered watching it yet since i gave it to them - coz they'd love it to otherwise)

They have ships travelling between Jhb and PE? Where have I been all this time?

[Stool]

where u been voicy? nothing arrives in Dbn or PE. It first has to get trucked to Jhb before its acknowledged that it is in our country. Some weird shipping admin rule:)

[Stool]

Drusky have you seen episodes 15 and 16 (season finale) of season 4?

A must get if not. Otherwise what did you think about it? Man I watched it like 5 times. Awesome viewing.

[TG]

What's up with all these series' ending so soon... most US seasons are around 22 episodes... It seems scrubs haven't gone past ep 11 :(

[Stool]

I would reconsider the rule if I was you. Man House's arguments is so unorthodox. Really cuts to the bone sometimes how he simplifies everyday life with his jackass attitude :)

the writers strike
from what I gather these series programs have set holidays. Everything is supposed to end now and start again late September.

Hahahaha funny chap! you rally arent lying about the take2(months) part!
those guys are ridiculous :(

[senorblinky]

I'm an amazon.com man myself.
They have flippen everything, but it seems that there are expoting rights on some things, so i send it to our US office and ship it back from there.
Muchos coolios. But try them anyway, they are stocked up and reasonable to low priced methinks.

[Drusky]

Phew! I'll beware Take 2 then, thanks for the heads up. They prolly order their stuff in as you order it so their store will never show "out of stock".

I'll check out Amazon... some heathen unbeliever told me that Amazon won't ship to Africa "because Africa's postal system is like a bloody great big black hole".

TG I'll take up your kind offer if I really get stuck for interweb options, thanks very much.

I've got Season 3, unfortunately episode 24 is dubbed to Porrah. The Porrah's like their female voices gruff and "House" sound is pronounced "Gggghouse" (same sound you make when you're building up a big greeny to spit at some "manly" guy with a pink blanky)! I'm missing the one where he's gut shot and one or two others. No Season 4 yet except maybe one or two episodes where the doctors have changed except for the black dude.

[TG]

I checked Musica Warehouse, they had Season 1 & 2, for R399 ea.

[Drusky]

:hmmm: It's R400 here, I might just say to hell with the R100 I "lose" over 3 seasons and get it at the local musica.

[Stool]

House season 6 starts 21 September

Looks like its gonna be AWESOME!

youtube has some trailers for those that already seen season 5

[WingNut]

Ohoho, yeah can't wait! It just gets better and better!

[Punky3025]

He is one rude bastage....but funny

[senorblinky]

I dunno, I've got 3 episodes left of season 1 (started watching it again recently) and i am sorry but it is extremely repetitive. When they think they know what's wrong with a patient, then i look at my VLC media player's slide bar. If it's halfway through, it's a mis-diagnosis, if it's 10 minutes from the end, i know they've got it right.

I think i enjoy his visits to the clinic more than i enjoy the major case each week. but i'll keep at it, maybe it gets better.

[stinkthumb]

House S6... :woot:

Blinky, it's all bout the character progression. The rest is just gravy :D

[Stool]

yeah i never listen to the medical diagnosis.

i just wait for the part where he calls whomever an idiot

[Drusky]

Is the box set out yet?

[senorblinky]

Hehehehehehe...

[Drusky]

I've found this:
House 1-5 (http://www.mycollects.com/Show.aspx?PID=1584)
and this:
NCIS 1-6 (http://www.mycollects.com/Show.aspx?PID=1671)

If I buy these what kind of misery am I going to experience wrt zone settings and other borkage. Also, how does one determine whether or not these are legit box sets or just another Hong Dong rip.

OKIEDOKIE: These are "region free" sets. Region free equates to ripped, stolen and jolly rodgered :(

[WondaWoman]

It says Region Free for the House one. Looks pretty legit. You can always email the link to the okes who produce House and ask if they are one of the distributors coz you don't want to buy pirated copies. :/ That's what I would do.

[Drusky]

The first four seasons of the show have been released on DVD in regions 1, 2, and 4. The season 5 DVD set was released in region 1 in August 2009, along with a boxed set comprising seasons 1 through 5.[202] The season 5 set is scheduled for release in region 2 on November 9, 2009,[203] and in region 4 on September 30, 2009.[204] Universal Studios Home Entertainment announced plans to rerelease the first season in region 1 in anamorphic widescreen (the original release is letterboxed).[205] It is unclear if the DVDs will be rereleased with anamorphic widescreen in regions 2 and 4, where they have been presented in 4:3 fullscreen.[206]
So we wait :|

[Arbythep00nage]

Hmmm, I was worried with the way S5 ended that there wouldnt be anymore house.

[senorblinky]

House is getting better.
I am on Season 3 at the moment, and the couple of episodes leading up to the end of season 2 were pretty damn awesome.
Yeah, house if growing on me, not the stupid medical stuff, the characters and the clinic hours are my best.

[senorblinky]

Yeah, ok, so House grew on me, done with season 4, or rather, what i have, still need 4 episodes from season 4 and the rest of season 5, so lunchtime i'm going to go buy me some goodness.

Yes, i am now also recommending House, just take it really slow through that first season, don't binge watch it.

[Stool]

season4 has the best last 2 episodes

go go go

[Stool]

house season 6 is here :D

finished season 4?

what you think of that 2nd to last episode?

[senorblinky]

Jis Stoolio, sorry to disappoint brother, maar ek kry house season 4 NERENS nie.
Ek moet jou my shopping lys wys, dis HEEEEEL bo an, ek kry net nie die damn goed nie.
ek brand om dit te kyk.

[WingNut]

Season 6 Ep 1 was freakin' epic... amazing episode! (IMVHO)

[Stool]

Season 6 Ep 1 was freakin' epic... amazing episode! (IMVHO)

yep very good

maar hulle het die bal gedrop op episode 2. darem lees ek hoe al die viewers kla so hopelik kry daai skrywers weer hulle g@tte in rat

[jupman]

My wife and i finished watching Season 1 last night. While it does get a tad repetitive, we are enjoying it.

We only tend to watch 2 episodes per night though, not more - Unlike Dexter or 24 where we watch 4 or more per night!!!

[Stool]

dont worry it gets better
