My Thoughts:

In honor of Katherine Heigl's birthday today (Nov. 24th) I just watched the entire first season of this series. Granted it is only nine episodes. I have always been a huge fan of medical dramas... and this is definitely one of my favorites. It has a good mixture of medical cases and stories on the doctor's personal lives. Definitely one I would recommend. Especially if you like a good medical drama. After watching this first season I have a strong urge to continue to watch through the rest of the six seasons that I own.

My Thoughts:

I just finished watching season 2 of this series. As I said before... this is definitely one of my favorite medical dramas. This is the first full season of the series. As season 1 only had 9 episodes. And it pulled off a great season with ease. I especially enjoyed the couple of 2 part episodes that is in this season. Especially the one where they have to deal with an unexploded bomb inside of a patient. That is about as a suspenseful of an episode as you can get.

Completed the third season last night. Still enjoying the show as much as ever. Still completely hooked on watching the series again. There is a few multiple part episodes in this season.... which always ends up being the ones I enjoy the most. In the case of this season my favorites is a 3 part episode including Walk on Water, Drowning on Dry Land & Some Kind of Miracle... where they have to deal with a huge ferry boat accident ending with one of their own in mortal danger.

My Thoughts:

Yesterday evening I completed the fourth season (and started season 5). This season is shorter by several episode. This is do to the writers strike in 2007.  Nothing to do with the quality of the show. It is still one of my favorite medical dramas. Four seasons in... and I am still just as hooked on re-watching the series as I was on Thanksgiving Day when I started season one. I am just sad I only have up to season 6 to re-watch.

My Thoughts:

Just finished the 6th season. It is another excellent season. I enjoyed every second of watching. Even with such a great season.... it is extremely easy to pick a favorite episode. I have to go with the 2 part season finale where a guy that recently lost his wife comes in shooting up the hospital. Killing many... injuring many... including some regulars that has been on the show since the pilot episode. Excellent season of an excellent series!

Can you believe it? I started this marathon on Thanksgiving day with season one... and in only 8 days I was able to watch 6 seasons!... that is 125 episodes!

My Thoughts:

After finding out I will be getting season 6 given to me here soon... I just couldn't help myself. I had to start watching this series. I need to remind myself of the characters and storylines before watching the new set when it gets here. The first time I watched this set I really didn't care much for the first several episodes... as I really didn't care much for the character of House. But once he grew on me I loved the show. I of course didn't have this problem this time around and ended up enjoying every minute of it.... right from the start. If you never got around to checking out this series... I highly recommend it!

I just finished watching this set. It felt good to watch some episodes I never seen before... and I enjoyed every minute of it. I watched the entire season in only 3 days. And now I sit here wishing I had season 7 to watch! I think I would have to say my favorite episode of the season would have to be between Private Lives which guest starred Laura Preppon from That '70s Show and Black Hole. Though the season finale was fantastic as well.

My Thoughts:

Last night I finished off this set... and enjoyed every minute of it. I have been a fan of John Ritter every since first seeing him in Three's Company. And I been a fan of Kaley Cuoco for a bit now as well. I found this series to be a lot of fun... contains lots of laughs. It is a shame we lost John Ritter at the beginning of the second season. Despite that loss I want to add the second season to my collection... hopefully before too long so I can see how the show went on without him. This first season set has a surprising high number of episodes considering it isn't that old of a series. Favorite episode of this season? I guess I would have to go with Come and Knock On Our Door where they poke a little fun at Three's Company. Where John Ritter's character has a dream that both daughters are living with one guy... and he is in the place of Mr. Roper. It even looks like the same exact apartment from Three's Company. I thought it was a clever thing to do... was a lot of fun to watch. The only real extra on this set is a Blooper Reel. But if we were only going to get one extra on this set... I am glad we got this... as I had just as many laughs watching this short Blooper Reel as I did the entire season of the show. And that is saying a lot! The Blooper Reel made it look like they had a blast on the set working with John Ritter as it seemed he made the set a lot of fun to work on. If you never seen this series you should definitely give it a chance!

My Thoughts:

Between last night and this morning I watched the first disc of this complete series set. This is a show I never got the chance to  watch when it originally aired. It was canceled after only 13 episodes. But going by this first disc I have no idea why... as I am enjoying it very much. Here lately I have become a fan of Dana Delany... so it is good to find another series she did. She plays the mother of the kidnapped teen in this show. This is one I definitely recommend checking out. With only 13 episodes I doubt it... but I am hoping that they knew about the cancelation in time to finish off the storyline.

My Thoughts:

I been wanting to check this series out for quite a while now. And thanks to a good friend giving me the first 4 seasons for Christmas I can now do that. I just watched the first two discs... and I must say... I am already enjoying the series quite a bit. I like how each episode show a scene from when he was a kid.... learning to do what it is that he does. I also liked how they mixed comedy in with a crime series. It reminds me of the series Monk in that way. Which is how I first heard of this series. The pilot episode is on one of the Monk season sets. Favorite episode so far?... would have to go with the pilot episode. I think it is definitely one worth checking out if you haven't done so already.

Good review. This is a show I keep wanting to check out but I'm trying not to start new shows until I get a load of my outstanding ones completed with later seasons. I do have seasons 1-4 of Monk though. Will have to look and see if an episode is an extra on the UK sets.

[addicted2dvd]

I just looked in profiler... it is on my season 5 set of Monk.
