Look at the episode guide for new doctor who. There is 12 or 13 episodes in each season.

EDIT: think you misunderstand janz. I mean each season is 12 or 13. There is tons of episodes altogether.
Ok, well you said "shows that span 23 episodes or more" so you can see where that might not make sense.

The OP question has generated a lot of genuine, and genuinely surprising answers - and they are all pre-Netflix too! Netflix of course is the perfect vehicle for immersing yourself in a drama to the exclusion of real life, so I wonder if we have any fresh answers to Aichuk's "important question"....

.... to which I would like to add a frivolous question; an episode of Dr. Who lasts about 50 mins doesn't it ? How long would it take to watch every Dr. Who episode ever made?

Felt like this after both Babylon 5 and the final episode of 24, both of which ran their natural courses and ended the only way they could end.

As for your question, Wiki has the answer:
840 episodes, approx 1 hour each (since BBC has no ads/breaks) = 840 hours.
If you decided to somehow watch them for 24 hours a day, if you could, then you would get through them all in 35 days or just over five weeks. Of course, if you were a normal joe, and let's say you did it in ten-hour shifts, then you're looking more at the likes of 84 days, which is 12 weeks, or three months.

You used to be quite a sensitive little snowflake, didn’t you?

When you're numb and dead inside from years of depression and you don't remember what happiness or purity even feel like it can be pretty draining to see yourself mirrored in such a way, even if Humbert Humbert and what's-his-face are far more twisted characters than you.

Shame on you for not finishing Lolita, though. Man up and get on with this ****.

I know it's amazing but it really did make me feel ****ing awful. Like, that first day of a really low, low depression when you feel the weight of nothingness bearing down on you almost physically and it makes you feel too exhausted to feel terrified of the claustrophobia.
