How many episodes were produced for the eight-season series House M.D.?

The eight-season series House M.D. produced 177 episodes.

That total covers the complete run from the pilot in 2004 through the series finale in 2012. The episodes generally combine a “case of the week” with continuing stories about House, his colleagues, and the pressures of hospital medicine.

The number can be confused with the number of episodes in an individual season. Most seasons had more than 20 episodes, but the total is not simply eight identical 22-episode blocks. Scheduling, season length, and the final season’s production choices affected the overall count.

The 177-episode total also excludes unaired material and promotional clips. It refers to the broadcast series itself. The finale, “Everybody Dies,” is included in that count and serves as the concluding episode of House’s story.
