I thought I’ve watched a lot of Trek … I’ve seen all of TNG, VOY, half of TOS, a few episodes of DS9, DISCO, and currently watching SNW Season 2 … and I’ve seen most of the movies
According to this Comic Book Resources …
Every single television series, both currently airing and retired, totals up to around 48,700 minutes, which is approximately 812 hours or 33.8 days. Every series and movie combined totals 837.5 hours, meaning it will take 34.9 days to watch them all uninterrupted.
and that’s not counting the films, nor the 20-50x you’d have to rewatch it all to have the near-encyclopedic knowledge of all of it we all here do, nor the decades that would take…
let alone doing all of that while not going completely insane…. mwahahahaha!
I’ve seen all of TOS, TNG (including the movies for both), DS9, about half of VOY (working through it right now), the first…3? seasons of DIS, one episode of PIC, all of LDs, SNW, and Pro, and the three Kelvinverse movies. So I feel like I’m closing in pretty well.
That said, I’m surprised that there are 900 episodes and nearly 840 hours. Considering most of those episodes would be about 40–45 minutes, and a decent chunk are half that length. How can it be more than 675 hours. Unless I’m missing something, either the OP is a severe understatement, or the CBR article is a severe overestimate.

One thing you might be missing is that commercial breaks used to be shorter back in the day, so TOS episodes are 50 minutes long.
But it still only brings us up to 750 hours even if all 900 episodes of Trek were 50 minutes, from TOS through the TNG era and the three animated shows.
There aren’t that many two-parters anyway, are there? I can’t imagine it would make up the difference.
My thought was that the extra few minutes of TOS episodes, the added time of two-parters counting as one, and maybe another factor or two we haven’t thought of yet would add up to account for it.

That’s very interesting, I didn’t know that.

Is the “900 episodes” figure counting two-parters as one episode or two?
Great question. One would hope it counts them as 2, but who knows.
