On what date did the medical drama House premiere on Fox?

The story behind the answer

House premiered on Fox on November 16, 2004.

The series was created by David Shore and centered on Dr. Gregory House, an exceptionally talented but unconventional diagnostician. Its medical mysteries, sarcastic humor, and ensemble cast helped it become one of Fox’s most successful dramas.

The premiere date is sometimes confused with January 2005 because the first season continued into the new year and the show became especially prominent during the 2005 television season. However, the pilot episode was broadcast in the United States in November 2004.

House eventually ran for eight seasons and concluded in 2012. Its format combined a weekly diagnostic puzzle with continuing storylines involving House, his colleagues, and the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
