What was House M.D.’s final broadcast episode number?

House M.D.’s final broadcast episode was episode 177 overall.

The series finale, “Everybody Dies,” is listed as the 177th episode of the program. It aired on May 21, 2012, after the show completed eight seasons on Fox.

Episode counts can vary in television references because some lists distinguish regular episodes from specials, while others count two-part stories differently. For House, the standard overall episode list numbers the finale as 177 and separately identifies retrospective material such as “Swan Song.”

The total reflects the complete scripted series rather than the number of episodes in one season. The first season had 22 episodes, and later seasons had different totals, so multiplying an assumed fixed number per season produces the wrong result.
