How many seasons did the television series House M.D. produce between 2004 and 2012?

The story behind the answer

House M.D. produced eight seasons between 2004 and 2012.

The medical drama premiered on Fox on November 16, 2004, and its eighth and final season ended on May 21, 2012. The series follows Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant but difficult diagnostician who leads a team at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The eight-season run made House one of the most recognizable American medical dramas of the 2000s. Its episodes usually centered on unusual illnesses, differential diagnosis, and the personal conflicts affecting House and his colleagues. The show’s structure often used a team-based investigation rather than a conventional emergency-room format.

A common mix-up is counting the pilot season separately or treating the 2012 finale as a ninth season. Fox officially broadcast eight seasons. The final season introduced several changes to House’s team and hospital relationships before concluding the story of its central doctor.
