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

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.
