Here are the ratings for the House TV show. Doctor Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) continues to brilliantly solve tough cases and offend everyone along the way. The eighth season of House typically airs Monday nights at 9pm on the FOX network.

These are the TV show’s ratings for the 2011-12 season, the best way to tell if House is going to be cancelled or renewed for season nine (providing Hugh Laurie wants to do it). Check out our FOX ratings report card to see how this show’s numbers compare with the others on the network.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
