The reviews are mixed for Season 5 of House, M.D., which is now out on DVD. Whether fans enjoyed Season 5 or not, viewers of the program concur that it was different. For example, Cameron and Chase were not featured as often, and some viewers believed that the season was "cheesier" than earlier seasons.
Those that liked Season 5 report that the episodes connect with the viewers better than in earlier shows, and that the audience learns more about how House's is haunted by his personal demons. The overriding sentiment is that as long as Hugh Laurie is in the series it will continue to be a top rated, smart television program. Even physicians who watch the show say that in spite of its over-the-top presentation, the show is very entertaining and does give the fans an idea of the emotions a physician experiences when contemplating a difficult diagnosis.
Viewers who were rather under-whelmed by House M.D. Season 5 believe that the writing varies in quality: the season begins strongly, goes through some less exciting episodes in the middle, then gathers momentum during the remainder of the season. Something that did not appeal to many viewers was what they believed to be an obvious and hokey way of planting the seeds of a P.I. spinoff series by introducing a character that was not pertinent to the season. Other complaints were that the episodes were less enthralling and that variable quality writing prompted House's trademark biting observations to cross the line into unnecessary shock value occasionally.
The 24 shows constituting Season 5 allow non-work and professional boundaries to shift repeatedly among the star characters. Special appearances in Season 5 include eljko Ivanek, Mos Def, and Carl Reiner. The DVD collection has extras covering changes in Dr. Cuddy's life, how an episode is cast, and the level of veracity in the plots. The collection also contains a 100th episode appreciation, and commentary for the episode about the patient suffering from the "locked-in syndrome."
Between those watchers who were enthusiastic about Season 5 and those who were more critical, the vast majority say they still enjoy the show a lot and are breathlessly awaiting House, M.D., Season 6.
