House M.D. produced 177 episodes across its eight-season run. The total includes the regular broadcast episodes that followed Gregory House and his colleagues from the 2004 premiere through the 2012 finale.
Episode counts are a useful way to distinguish the series’ scale from its season count. Eight seasons can sound relatively short, but House M.D. was a substantial network drama, with many seasons containing more than 20 episodes. The show’s production schedule supported a large number of medical cases and long-running character arcs.
The total is sometimes confused with the number of episodes in a particular season or with the number of installments available on a streaming service. Distribution packages can organize episodes differently, and international broadcasters sometimes split or schedule programs in alternate ways. The series total, however, is conventionally listed as 177 episodes.
The episode list includes landmark installments such as “Three Stories,” “Broken,” “Help Me,” and “Everybody Dies.” These episodes vary in structure: some use flashbacks or multiple patient stories, while others focus closely on House’s personal and professional life.
