Which award did House M.D. win as a 2006 Peabody Award recipient?

The story behind the answer

House M.D. won a Peabody Award in 2006.

The George Foster Peabody Awards recognize distinguished achievement in television, radio, and other forms of electronic media. House M.D. received the honor for its compelling medical storytelling and its portrayal of a gifted but deeply flawed physician.

The award was presented for the program’s 2005–2006 season, when the series had established its distinctive combination of diagnostic puzzles, moral questions, and character drama. Peabody recognition is separate from the Primetime Emmy Awards, which honor television achievement in specific categories.

House M.D. also received numerous Emmy nominations and other industry honors during its run. Hugh Laurie, who played Gregory House, won Golden Globe Awards for the role, while the episode “Three Stories” won the 2005 Emmy for drama writing. These awards are often mixed together, but the 2006 broadcast-program honor was the Peabody Award.
