"My brother's gonna be devastated when he hears that The Big Bang Theory is gonna end," another person wrote."That's all he ever watches aside from football and basketball."

For all the shit The Big Bang Theory gets, for me it was always the solid and relatable portrayal of two autistic characters who navigate a romantic relationship with each other that made the show a comfort watch. It’s going to hurt to see Sheldon and Amy go.

"Gutted of the news [The Big Bang Theory] will end after season 12," someone else lamented. "It would have to end eventually but I didn't wanna let it sink in...the best show on tv after [Game Of Thrones.]"

Interestingly, the show will end its run by retaining the record for "longest-running multi-camera series" in the history of television, and it will have produced 279 episodes. Entertainment Tonight reports that this is a record-breaking number.

"We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past 12 seasons," CBS, WB TV and Chuck Lorre Productions said in a joint statement that was released on Wednesday.

"We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show's success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close," the statement added.

So sad to hear this season will be the last for #bigbangtheory. I hope it gets reruns forever @missmayim @kunalnayyar
