On what date did House M.D. broadcast its final episode?

House M.D. broadcast its final episode on May 21, 2012.

The episode, “Everybody Dies,” marked the end of the medical drama after eight seasons on Fox. The finale brought Gregory House’s story to a conclusion while focusing heavily on his friendship with James Wilson and Wilson’s terminal illness.

The broadcast date is distinct from the date of the show’s premiere, November 16, 2004, and from the dates of earlier season finales. It is also separate from the production or announcement dates associated with the series ending. The final broadcast was followed by “Swan Song,” a retrospective special that looked back at the program.

House M.D. therefore occupied television schedules for more than seven years between its first U.S. episode and its conclusion. Its finale date provides a precise endpoint for the original run and the eight-season story.
