In the medical drama House M.D., on what date did the series premiere?

The medical drama House M.D. premiered on November 16, 2004.

The series debuted on Fox in the United States with the episode “Pilot,” introducing the unconventional diagnostician Gregory House and his team at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. The premiere established the show’s central format: a puzzling medical case investigated through differential diagnosis, testing, and often dangerous treatment decisions.

House M.D. was created by David Shore and produced with notable involvement from Katie Jacobs and television director Bryan Singer. Although it is set in New Jersey, the hospital and many of its cases are fictional. The show became known for combining hospital drama with mystery-story structure and a sharp, often abrasive lead character.

A common mix-up is the date: some sources list the show’s original 2004–2012 run, but the premiere itself was in November 2004. The series ultimately ran for eight seasons and concluded in 2012.
