== ''Literally'' Older Than Television ==
* The original ''Folies Bergère'' in Paris - {{Years or months ago|1869|05}}. The cabaret/music hall opened in 1869 and has run shows continuously since.▼
* ''Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus'' – 146 years: As a live show, it (or its predecessors) ran 1871-2017; there were also a pair of feature films (''The Greatest Show on Earth'' in 1952 and ''The Greatest Showman'' in 2017) and a short-lived US TV series (30 episodes, ABC, 1963). The original shows pre-date the motorcar fad (which Karl Friedrich Benz started with the Benz Patent Motorcar in 1885), arriving in each community on their own special train.
* ''[[Felix the Cat]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1919}}: The longest lasting cartoon character in history, making his début in ''[[The Silent Age of Animation|1919]]'' (and if we count an even earlier prototype short, it may even be ''1917'') having appeared in over 150 theatrical cartoons, decades worth of comics, hundreds of TV cartoons, two movies (1998 and 2004), and the two TV revivals ''[[The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat]]'' and ''Baby Felix''. He appeared in the [[Newspaper Comics|funny pages]] with Betty Boop (another [[Print Long Runners|long runner]]) in 1984-88, he is still appearing in merchandise today. And he had a cartoon series planned for 2013. In fact, one of the [http://www.felixthecat.com/history.htm very first TV broadcasts] featured Felix way back in 1928. Meow!

* ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1931|11}}: Began airing on radio in November 1931 and moved to television in November 1952 (the first year of regular television broadcasts in Canada), and is the world's longest-running sports show.
* The ''Metropolitan Opera'' – {{Years or months ago|1931|12}}: Airs a radio broadcast season each year. Although going since Christmas of 1931 (and broadcast in January 1910 over experimental radio broadcasts), unlike ''The Guiding Light'' it only airs episodes during a season and is not continuous.
