Season 1 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians contained eight episodes.
The first season introduced the central Kardashian-Jenner family and established the unscripted series’ focus on family relationships, disagreements, business projects, and everyday life. It aired on E! during the show’s first run in 2007.
Episode counts varied across the program’s long history, so the first season’s total should not be confused with the length of later seasons. The series ultimately reached 20 seasons and more than 250 episodes before ending in 2021.
The success of those eight opening episodes led E! to renew the program and develop spin-offs centered on individual family members. The early episodes also included appearances by family friends and partners who became recurring figures in the franchise.
