    Damn dude, that means if you binged 5 episodes a day every single day of the year it would take more than 8 years to watch the whole thing lol

      And the episodes are one hour long, that’s nearly two whole year 24/7 to watch it. It will take you 5 years to watch the 15000 episodes if you do this 8 hours per day everyday. It looks like they release 250 episodes per year, so in those 5 years you’ll have an additional 1250 episodes, 156 additional days.

        It doesn’t. By the time you watched them all there would be 8 more seasons worth of new episodes lol

          Bonus points if you do the calculation with consideration that there’s at least 20 minutes of commercials in each hour long episode.

      I think the better question is HOW DID THEY MAKE 15K EPISODES IN 10 YEARS?

      It says 50th anniversary in 2013 not 50th episode whoops

      Aren’t most tv shows 18-25% commercials. Should bring the count down a bit, even if it’s still way too much bad television.

        I was just basing it on the total number of episodes rather than the actual runtimes. Watching 5 episodes a day every day of each year it would take a little over 8 years to get through 15000 episodes
