Damn dude, that means if you binged 5 episodes a day every single day of the year it would take more than 8 years to watch the whole thing lol

[–] Gimly 16 points 11 months ago (3 children)

And the episodes are one hour long, that's nearly two whole year 24/7 to watch it. It will take you 5 years to watch the 15000 episodes if you do this 8 hours per day everyday. It looks like they release 250 episodes per year, so in those 5 years you'll have an additional 1250 episodes, 156 additional days.

It would serously skew my stats on trakt.tv

Shows — 440d 2h 7m (16,263 eps) Movies — 62d 9h 16m (806 movies)

That's still 300 episodes per year, which means a new episode Monday through Saturday every week since it started, only skipping 2 weeks per year.

Does that account for all the episodes that will come out while you try to watch it all?

[–] MrJameGumb 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't. By the time you watched them all there would be 8 more seasons worth of new episodes lol

Bonus points if you do the calculation with consideration that there's at least 20 minutes of commercials in each hour long episode.

And now you understand why people get sucked into telenovelas

~~I think the better question is HOW DID THEY MAKE 15K EPISODES IN 10 YEARS?~~

It says 50th anniversary in 2013 not 50th episode whoops

Aren't most tv shows 18-25% commercials. Should bring the count down a bit, even if it's still way too much bad television.

[–] MrJameGumb 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I was just basing it on the total number of episodes rather than the actual runtimes. Watching 5 episodes a day every day of each year it would take a little over 8 years to get through 15000 episodes

One Piece has got nothing on Sazae-san. They have been airing Sazae-san episodes since decades before One Piece was ever released.
