The Big Bang Theory is the longest-running multi-camera sitcom
Thanks to CBS' confidence in "The Big Bang Theory," the story of Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), and friends ran for a whopping 279 episodes, making this multi-camera series the longest-running in TV history. "Cheers" previously held the record with 275 episodes.
To commemorate this impressive feat, Stage 25 at Warner Bros. Studios — where everyone's favorite brainiacs were brought to life for over a decade — was dedicated as "The Big Bang Theory Stage." A plaque proudly sits on the front wall.
At the time of the dedication, executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, Bill Prady, and Steve Holland said in a statement (https://www.warnerbros.com/news/press-releases/big-bang-theory-becomes-part-warner-bros-history), "For 12 years and almost 300 episodes, 'The Big Bang Theory' has considered Stage 25 its home. We're honored that the series can now become a part of the history of this legendary studio which has been home to so many amazing films and television shows."
The only other shows to boast soundstages in their honor are "Friends," "ER," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and Lorre's "Two and a Half Men."
