How many episodes of House M.D. were broadcast across its eight seasons?

The story behind the answer

House M.D. broadcast 177 episodes across eight seasons.

The series aired on Fox from November 2004 through May 2012. Its episodes generally used a case-of-the-week structure: House and his team investigated a patient whose symptoms resisted ordinary diagnosis, while continuing character stories unfolded around the medical mystery.

The episode total includes the pilot, regular installments from all eight seasons, and the two-part episode “Everybody Dies,” which served as the series finale. The count is based on broadcast episodes, not on the number of fictional cases mentioned within the story.

Episode totals can be confused with the number of seasons or with the number of episodes in similarly long-running medical dramas. House M.D. had eight seasons but did not reach 200 episodes. Wikipedia’s series overview lists the complete run as 177 episodes.
