Hey Jim, possessor of all tv knowledge - where can we find the unaired pilot? Big Bang is one of my all time favorites with lots of episodes to watch. What’s the longest running sitcom series? And then - what series has the most episodes??? It seems like seasons are so much shorter nowadays - - you know, back in the dark ages when I was a kid….. :). Love Coffee, TV & Me!
The unaired pilot has never been released! I’d love to see it someday. And if you count animation as sitcoms, THE SIMPSONS is longest running (Season 36 is currently airing) but live would be ITS ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, which starts Season 17 this summer. Crazy!

Also The Simpsons at 780 episodes (and counting since it’s not going off the air anytime soon!)
I did do some online research since I wasn’t 100% sure. Most episodes…hmmm…

Thanks for sharing! The Big Bang Theory is very interesting to me as an academic scientist. I wrote about my takes here: https://feministscientist.substack.com/p/the-big-bang-theory-and-academic
