How many episodes of House M.D. were broadcast during its eight-season run?

House M.D. broadcast 177 episodes during its eight-season run.

The series premiered on Fox in September 2004 and ended in May 2012. Its episodes generally combined a patient’s medical mystery with ongoing character stories involving Dr. Gregory House, his colleagues, and the administrators of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The episode total includes the two-part season-six premiere, “Broken,” which is counted as two episodes in the series list. It also includes the special documentary-style installment “Swan Song,” which was broadcast near the end of the show’s run.

The number is sometimes confused with the show’s season count or with the episode total of another long-running medical drama. House M.D. had eight seasons, but not every season contained the same number of installments. The finale, “Everybody Dies,” was the 177th broadcast episode.
