House M.D. premiered on Fox in which year?

House M.D. premiered on Fox in 2004.

The first episode aired on November 16, 2004. The series introduced Gregory House, a brilliant but abrasive diagnostician whose team investigated difficult cases at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The program emerged during a period when medical dramas were already an established television genre, but its diagnostic mystery format gave it a distinctive identity. Instead of focusing mainly on emergency-room action or surgical procedures, House M.D. centered on finding the explanation for puzzling symptoms.

The premiere year is sometimes confused with the year of the show’s development or later international broadcasts. Fox began the American broadcast in 2004, and the series continued for eight seasons before ending in 2012. Hugh Laurie’s performance helped make the show one of television’s prominent medical dramas.
