House, M.D. produced 177 episodes across its complete television run.
The series aired eight seasons on Fox, beginning in 2004 and ending in 2012. The episode total includes the regular broadcast episodes from all eight seasons and reflects the full run of the drama rather than only the episodes centered on House’s original diagnostic team.
Episode counts can be confused with the number of weeks in a season, because American network seasons often contain more episodes than a typical modern streaming season. The show also had specials and promotional material that are not counted as regular episodes in the standard series total.
The 177 episodes cover recurring medical mysteries, staff changes, and long-running character arcs. Among the best-known episodes are the pilot, the two-part “Broken,” and the series finale, “Everybody Dies.” Counting all seasons together gives the canonical total of 177.
