In House M.D., how many seasons were broadcast?

House M.D. broadcast eight seasons.

The medical drama premiered on Fox on November 16, 2004, and concluded with its eighth season in 2012. Across that run, the series followed Gregory House and changing teams of physicians as they investigated difficult or unusual medical cases.

The program’s episode count is 177, although listings can vary slightly in how special broadcasts are categorized. The eight-season total refers to the numbered seasons of the main television series, not to separate web features or promotional material.

A common mix-up is confusing the show’s eight seasons with the number of years it remained on television. Because the first season began late in 2004 and the final season ended in 2012, the calendar span covers parts of nine years. The season count itself remains eight.
