The Big Bang Theory: 5 Reasons It Needs To End With Season 12

It should all end with a Big Bang.

Season 11 of The Big Bang Theory wrapped a couple of months back, featuring the long-awaited wedding of Sheldon and Amy. A twelfth season has already been confirmed, but where does The Big Bang Theory go following that? By the looks of things, away from our television screens.

When we were first introduced to the characters we have come to love, no one could've imagined the progression they would all go through. Whether it's the story of the aspiring actress marrying her scientist next door neighbour or the tale of a man from India overcoming his selective mutism, The Big Bang Theory has been the scene of many developments throughout its 11 years on screen with little left to expand on.

Following all these landmark moments for each of the main characters, all signs now point in the direction of a series finale. We know that a twelfth season is definitely happening, so the producers have the time to wrap everything up within the 24 episodes each season gets.

The next season would be the perfect culmination for the show, which has really run its course by now. It'll be a few months until the season premieres on TV, but it should wholeheartedly be the last.

5. It's Been On Air For Over A Decade

Having premiered in September 2007, The Big Bang Theory has been on our screens for over a decade. It's very rare for a sitcom of this type to go beyond ten years of new episodes, no matter the general reception to the show or the quality of its content.

2018 marks The Big Bang Theory's eleventh year running. Although it's a topic for debate among fans and critics, the show's storylines and character developments have remained at a reasonably high consistency over the years. Despite this however, a decade is a long time for a sitcom to continue producing brand new episodes.

Similar sitcoms, like the ever popular Friends, concluded their run after ten seasons. Now that we've seen the answer to one of The Big Bang Theory's longest-running questions in terms of Sheldon and Amy's wedding, it would only make sense to see our favourite group of scientists going their separate ways following the conclusion of the next season.

There's no doubt that the show will remain on-screen after it comes to an end, just like Friends has done. They don't need to put out new episodes to remain a treasure to the world of television.
