The Big Bang Theory Broke an Incredible Television Record

Big Bang Theory is still breaking impressive TV records.

Although the most adored sitcom from 2007, The Big Bang Theory is nearing its end, it isn't ceasing to break the incredible television records.

Twelve years after making its breakthrough appearance onto our screens, the series is now officially the longest-running multi-camera comedy of all time with a mightily impressive 276 episodes.

With the new milestone, the Big Bang Theory managed to topple Cheers from its top spot. The sitcom further managed to surpass the records set by other acclaimed TV series.

The episode “The Opening Night Excitation,” of the sitcom which finally featured the big night where Sheldon and Amy explored each other’s bodies in a most sexual manner was initially watched by 17.2 million, which proved to be one of the series’ best episodes in years.

However, with a delayed audience of 7.18 million checking the episode out in the following week, the latest series managed to break the Live+7 record previously set by the series premiere of ABC’s How to Get Away with Murder, which brought in 6.95 million after the episode’s initial airing.

Similarly, with the combined totals of 24.20 million viewers, it became the most-watched scripted episode of the entire TV season so far.

Likewise, Kaley Cuoco who had an emotional reaction to the sitcom's end also took to Instagram to thank her fans for their support with the caption: “Blessed, humbled, amazed, grateful,”
