How many episodes did CBS’s Bicentennial Minutes broadcast in total?

CBS broadcast 912 episodes of Bicentennial Minutes in total between 1974 and 1976.

The series began on July 4, 1974, and consisted of short educational segments about American history, the Revolution, and national development. Its one-minute format allowed CBS to place the feature into regular programming without creating a full-length documentary series.

The original plan called for the broadcasts to end on July 4, 1976, but the network continued them until December 31, 1976. That extension explains why the total is much higher than the number of days in a single anniversary year.

The segments also became part of popular culture. Television characters and commentators referred to the format, sometimes humorously, because its familiar presentation had become widely recognized. The program should not be confused with a single televised Bicentennial special: it was a long-running series of separate one-minute installments.
