When did the television series House M.D. premiere in the United States?

House M.D. premiered in the United States on November 16, 2004. The medical drama debuted on Fox during the 2004–05 television season and introduced Hugh Laurie as the diagnostician Gregory House.

The series was created by David Shore and developed with executive producer Bryan Singer. Its premise centered on House and his team investigating unusual illnesses at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

The premiere is sometimes confused with the start of the show's international broadcasts, which occurred on different dates. The U.S. premiere date is the standard reference used for the series timeline.

House M.D. ultimately ran for eight seasons, making its 2004 debut the beginning of a substantial television run rather than a short-lived pilot project.
