House M.D. was broadcast in the United States by Fox.
Fox launched the series in 2004, and the network carried the program through its entire eight-season run. The show became one of Fox’s signature scripted dramas, attracting a large audience with its weekly diagnostic mysteries and distinctive lead performance.
The series was produced for American television but distributed internationally under titles that often emphasized “House M.D.” The U.S. network title is generally shortened to House, while some international listings retain the longer form.
Fox is sometimes confused with the networks that carried other major medical dramas, such as NBC’s ER or ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. Those programs share a hospital setting but are separate productions with different characters, creators, and broadcast histories.
