Line 115:
* The ''Degrassi'' franchise... sort of. It hasn't been on ''continuously'' for 30 years, but it has been going off on and on since 1979, with the order like this: ''The Kids of Degrassi Street'' 1979-1986; ''[[Degrassi Junior High]]'' 1987-1989; ''[[Degrassi High]]'' 1989-1992 (counting [[The Movie|the Made-for-TV-Movie]]), and ''[[Degrassi|Degrassi: The Next Generation]]'' <ref>[[Officially Shortened Title|now titled simply Degrassi]]</ref> 2001-Present.
* ''Depeche Mode'', since 1980.
* ''[[
* ''Don McNeill's Breakfast Club'' aired on NBC Blue (later ABC Radio) from 1933-68.
* ''[[Doraemon]]'' (second longest-running anime ever, until recently with the same principal voice cast. Aired one season in 1973, then continuously on a different network since 1979. They tried canning it in 2005, an idea which lasted all of a month before it was [[Un Cancelled]].)
Line 166:
* ''[[Soul Train (TV)|Soul Train]]'' (1971-2006)
* ''[[Sports Center]]'' (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 currently stands at 31,000+ episodes, usually 60 or 90 minutes each.)
* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' (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 (TV)|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 ''[[
* ''This Old House'' (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'' (in syndication 1977-1998, on FOX 2000-present)
Line 186:
* ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' (the manga has been running since 1988)
* ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos (TV)|Americas Funniest Home Videos]]'' (original pilot aired in November 1989, launched January 1990. From 1999-2000, it ran only as occasional specials, but the Tom Bergeron-hosted revamp returned it to series status)
* ''[[Americas Most Wanted (TV)|Americas Most Wanted]]'' (began in 1987; longest-running show on FOX. It was actually canceled in Fall 1996 but fans, law enforcement, and the governments of 32 states rallied together to successfully persuade FOX to [[
* ''At the Movies'' (''Siskel & Ebert''): From 1986-99 with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, 1999-2000 with Ebert and guests, 2000-06 with Ebert and Richard Roeper, 2006-08 with Roeper and guests, 2008-09 with Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz, and 2009-10 with A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips, for a total of 24 years. Revived on PBS in 2011 as ''Roger Ebert Presents "At the Movies"''.
** If one counts their 1975-82 tenure on ''Opening Soon at a Theater Near You''/''Sneak Previews'' (which ran for another 14 years after they left for a total run of 21 years) and their 1982-86 stint on the original ''At the Movies'', Siskel and Ebert were co-presenting film review programs for 24 years.
