The House MD Season 8 DVD set holds all 22 episodes of the medical drama's eighth and final season, which aired on Fox from October 3, 2011 to May 21, 2012. Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House one last time, from "Twenty Vicodin" to the series finale, "Everybody Dies".
This is the five-disc Region 1 set released on August 21, 2012, so it plays in standard US and Canadian DVD players as well as Blu-ray players.
Season eight opens with House in prison. He is released early after an urgent request from Eric Foreman (Omar Epps), who is now dean of medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro. House has lost his office and his team, so he starts over with a new group of doctors.
Odette Annable joins as Dr. Jessica Adams and Charlyne Yi as Dr. Chi Park. Robert Sean Leonard returns as House's best friend, oncologist James Wilson, and Jesse Spencer returns as Robert Chase.
On February 8, 2012, Fox and executive producers David Shore, Katie Jacobs and Hugh Laurie announced that this would be the show's last season. A retrospective titled "Swan Song" aired just before the finale. Other episodes include "Charity Case", "Love Is Blind", "The C-Word" and "Holding On".
House ran for eight seasons and 177 episodes, and this set completes the story. It is the natural last piece for anyone who has collected the earlier seasons one by one.
Owning House Season 8 on disc means the final chapter is always ready to watch, with no subscription and no worry about the show leaving a streaming service.

Bittersweet ending..but ultimately,satisfying
I was sad to find out House was going off the air;however,I wasn’t surprised. Personally,I would have liked to have seen at least one more season,but that’s just me. 😛
The addition of Dr. Adams(Odette Annable) and Park(Charlyne Yi) as the two new doctors were welcome. I’m gonna come right out and say it:I was OK with Lisa Edelstein leaving the show.A small but vocal group of fans has made their feelings known about how Edelstein was written out of the show- and about Annable and Yi.This is Season 8, not Season 7.
There were big changes(the season starts with House in prison,which is where he meets Dr. Adams. You were never quite sure where they were going to go with plot lines, but..they worked(if anyone was *start spoiler alert* going to get cancer..I thought it would be House. Kinda out of left field for Dr. Wilson(Robert Sean Leonard) to be the one who does *end spoiler*
Other plot lines like Chase’s stabbing in Nobody’s Fault are not dropped suddenly-he didn’t have an instant recovery like how it is in some medical dramas where a doctor gets injured and they’re fine the next week(I’m looking at YOU, Chicago Hope).
House has always been able to get good guest stars(especially memorable this season? Battlestar Galactica’s Jamie Bamber and Medium’s Jake Weber, as well as Billy Connolly as House’s stepfather.
Admittedly I was nervous about how they would end House. I hoped they wouldn’t go for the lame, “blowing up the hospital” ending. They didn’t.That’s how Grey’s Anatomy will end, with all likelihood. No,House got it SO right. I mean, if I had been writing the final episode, that is exactly the ending I would have written.It was perfect.It allowed the audience to make up their own mind about what happened to the characters(though House and Wilson’s fates were far more ambiguous than the rest.)

A good final season (prior season spoilers)
+++Warning, this contains spoilers from the prior season of House, but no major giveaways from the final season+++
House’s eighth and final season aired in the 2011-2012 TV season and consisted of the show’s final 22 episodes. The show starts out almost a year after House drove his car into Cuddy’s living room. He ultimately returned to New Jersey, was arrested, and has been in jail for three months (after representing himself at trial). The first episode, much like the season House was in the psychiatric hospital, is set in the last few days of House’s stint in jail (we learn that Foreman got him early release on the condition that he can only go to the hospital or his apartment), assuming he makes it through the last week without getting killed or having his sentence extended.
While in jail he meets Dr. Jessica Adams (played by Odette Annable, probably best known for her role in Cloverfield up to that point) who works in the prison infirmary, and who would become a new member of the team along with the character of Dr. Chi Park (played by Charline Yi) who was pawned off on House after she punched her attending. Of course, House gets out of jail, and once he does, the show continues with the case of the week format as well as having a couple of different serial arcs, including a fake marriage to a Ukranian model (played by Karolina Wydra) and a major storyline that ultimately wraps up the series.
For those who get the Blu-Ray set, there are fewer extras for this release than in prior season releases. There are no commentary tracks or deleted scenes, but there there are three making-of/behind-the-scenes featurettes…one about the episode that Hugh Laurie directed, one that serves as a behind-the-scenes/making-of the final episode and has footage of the series wrap party, and one that is basically a series retrospective. Between the three of them, you get over an hour of bonus content. The A/V quality of the blu-ray is very good even though it did not get the kind of transfer that big-budget movies get.
Ultimately, season 8 is good, with some great moments, but feels incomplete because there is no real resolution to the House-Cuddy storyline. Cuddy does not appear at all, even in the final episode in which many of the former cast members (including Kal Penn, Sela Ward, Anne Dudek, Olivia Wilde, Amber Tamblyn, Andre Braugher, and Jennifer Morrison) returned for cameos. That said, I do think that the ending to the series was perfect for House. It gave the viewers closure but still left some things open to imagination. Even with the reduced budget that the show had in the final season, it still managed to get some good guest and recurring stars (some of whom were not huge stars at that point) including Jaleel White, Michael Masse, Wentworth Miller, Yaya DaCosta, Jeffrey Wright, David Anders, Rena Sofer, and Michael B. Jordan. So, while I do not think it is as good as the prior seasons, it is still very good, and definitely worth watching to see how the series ended.
