In today’s day and age it’s extremely difficult for a show to run for more than a few seasons, let alone 5, or 10, or even more. There’s just so much on TV that’s it’s difficult to get people to commit to watching any one program for an extended period of time. So we decided to comb through the TV universe to locate the shows that have stood the test of time.
This is a list of the twenty shows that have been on the air longer than any other. Omitting sports broadcasts, news programs or religious shows, these are the dramas, game shows, kids shows or comedies that have gone beyond the rest. Not one of these aired for less than 25 years, and by the end of this list, you won’t even believe how long they’ve been on.
