How many episodes did House M.D. broadcast across its entire run?

The story behind the answer

House M.D. broadcast 177 episodes across its entire eight-season run. The series aired on Fox from 2004 to 2012 and followed Dr. Gregory House through changing diagnostic teams and hospital storylines.

Episode counts can differ in casual references because some lists treat two-part stories as separate installments, while official season listings may present them differently. The commonly cited total for the complete series is 177 episodes.

The first episode was “Pilot,” which introduced House and his department at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. The final broadcast was “Everybody Dies,” aired on May 21, 2012. Together, the episodes cover the medical cases, professional conflicts, and personal consequences that define the show.

The total is not the same as the number of seasons: House M.D. had eight seasons and 177 episodes. It is also separate from the number of episodes in any particular season, since season lengths varied.
