"On Wednesday afternoon, Fox confirmed what many in the industry long suspected would come to pass: “House” will air its last episode at the end of the 2011-2012 television season.
'House' made its premiere in November 2004, and the medical procedural’s late-fall arrival was met with lower ratings initially. But audiences soon gravitated towards the series about the brilliant, antisocial and ruthlessly witty Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), and the drama soon became one of Fox’s strongest scripted performers. But over the past couple of seasons, “House” has become more expensive to produce — with higher license fees nearly resulting in its cancellation last year — as its ratings have fallen.
The official announcement from “House” executive producers David Shore, Katie Jacobs and Hugh Laurie, as well as a statement from Fox’s Entertainment President Kevin Reilly, distributed via press release, is attached here:
“After much deliberation, the producers of House M.D. have decided that this season of the show, the 8th, should be the last. By April this year they will have completed 177 episodes, which is about 175 more than anyone expected back in 2004. ”
I've watched this since the beginning and i'm sad to see it go, but maybe it's time was up. It's had it's day.
RIP
