The promotional picture for King of the Hill looks like Bobby has just farted as this "picture" was taken.

The promotional picture for Petticoat Junction is disturbing. It looks like they are serving up the dog on a platter.

Are you just listing TV shows that ran for multiple seasons? "WWE Raw" is the longest-running episodic television show of all time. As of this past Monday they broadcast their 1,000th episode.

Great list. May I suggest Smallville (2002-2011), 216 episodes.

Posted: 6 months, 1 week ago at Nov 17 23:24

This list is inaccurate. Ever hear of Doctor Who? It's an extremely popular science fiction show in England, and it's still running today. It's been running for 49 years.

Doctor who (1963-present).

Actually, South Park had at least 208 episodes.

How about these for example:
Guiding Light (1937-2009) Episodes: 18,262
The Day of our Lives (1965-present) Episodes: 11 899
General Hospital (1963-present) Episodes: over 12 500

Baywatch (or should I say ''Babewatch''), Murder, She Wrote and South park are just awful and boring.
But they've cancelled some amazing shows, yet they keep that trash. Well that is just beyond me.

Some really good shows here. I absolutely loved the X-Files, MASH and Frazier! I have to add my voice to some others here. Doctor Who is incredible, but it has not run from 1963-present. It ran from 1963-1989. It was relaunched in 2005 and is still going (once again!)
@Rebekka: I completely agree with you!

it's a really great list alice it make remembered some great souvenirs of some moments that i've had watching those shows... i've had a crush on mary ellen (judy norton-taylor) from the waltons as a teenager (what a sexy body she had meow (lol)) and i was a big fan of Hawai 5-0 and Alfred Hitchcock present and the X-files and that show was canceled too early. great work alice : )
