“The Big Bang Theory” aired on CBS for over 12 years, accumulating around 11,700 minutes of runtime or 195 hours. That’s the equivalent of over eight full days of straight footage. Even if you didn’t sleep for a week, you could not finish the entirety of “The Big Bang Theory.” 

The series ran on CBS starting in 2007. The sitcom revolved around a group of four geeky friends and their inability to assimilate into “normal” society. Though highly educated, the male cast of the Big Bang Theory is portrayed as stereotypical nerds and hopeless with women. Throughout the entire run of the show, Kaley Cuoco is a series regular.
