In fact, only one other U.S.-based live-action scripted show currently on the air has reached this same milestone: Law & Order: SVU.

To celebrate this impressive feat, the good people at CBS have culled together some impressive stats for a graphic you're seeing first on Mashable.

Some of these numbers may be news even to the most dedicated of NCIS fans. For example: Did you know it's taken 31,000+ hours to make 300 episodes? Or that over the course of those 300, we've only seen Ducky in 25 different bow ties?
