'The Big Bang Theory'
Although "Big Bang" has been on for the better part of a decade now, the stars see no end in sight, with Parsons recently telling Emmy magazine, "Part of me thinks this show could go 11 or 12 years ... We seem to be a bit of an anomaly in that we’re holding on to a sizable audience, and it doesn't fluctuate."
Co-star Galecki agreed, "Not to make any predictions whatsoever, but as far as the lifeline of most shows, the seventh year, you're past the halfway mark. I personally don't feel like we've told half the stories that these characters have to tell. It doesn't feel to me like we're halfway through. I'm certainly not done working with all of these people."
"The Big Bang Theory" Season 7 premieres Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
