* ''[[Soul Train]]'' – 35 years: 1971-2006.
* ''[[Sports Center]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1979|09}}: Celebrated its 30th anniversary September 7, 2009; runs for at least two hours every day {the latter of which is repeated throughout the following morning}, and quite a bit more as of August 2008. According to [[The Other Wiki]], it stands above 31,000+ episodes, usually 60 or 90 minutes each.
* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' (– {{Years or months ago|1975}}: Multiple series, spanning at least 1975-1977, 1979–Present<ref>''[[Himitsu Sentai Goranger]]'' and ''[[JAKQ Dengekitai]]'' were not originally considered part of the franchise and were only retroactively recognized in years later.</ref>) Whether it counts depends on the definition of a "show", since each year the program in the time slot is set in a different [[The Verse|world]] with a different team of superheroes (or "rangers") in color-coded uniforms who ride giant transforming and combining robots. It does have a series of crossover films between different teams set outside the television continuity (the ''Super Sentai Versus Series'') and the [[Milestone Celebration|35th series]], ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', was a ''year-long'' crossover involving all the previous teams. If you count it, it's the longest running sci-fi program in the world just by number of years, and the fact that it airs an episode a week with no Summer break (nearly 1,800 episodes and counting) means it vastly exceeds most rivals' lengths in total airtime, including ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
* ''This Old House'' – {{Years or months ago|1980}}: PBS home improvement show, airing since 1980. Its spinoff program ''The New Yankee Workshop'' had a 20-year run in its own right, 1989-09.
* ''This Week in Baseball'' – {{Years or months ago|1977}}: (in syndication 1977-1998, on FOX 2000-present)
