Line 146:
* ''Marketplace'' (consumer advocacy program on CBC-TV since October 1972)
* ''[[Mastermind (TV)|Mastermind]]'' (British quiz show airing since September 1972; from 1972-97 on BBC1 with Magnús Magnússon, 1998-2000 on BBC Radio 4 with Peter Snow, 2001-02 on Discovery with Clive Anderson, and 2003-present on BBC2 with John Humphrys)
* ''[[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (TV)|Mister Rogers Neighborhood]]'' (1968-2001, although reruns still air)
* ''Morning Edition'' (airing on NPR since 1979)
* ''Mr. Squiggle'' (Australian children's show, 1959-95)
Line 184:
== At least 20 years ==
* ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' (the manga has been running since 1988)
* ''[[
* ''[[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 [[Un Canceled|uncancel]] the show a month and a half later. Upon returning, it resumed its regular Saturday-night timeslot and paired with ''[[Cops]]''. This combination ''itself'' is a long runner as one of the longest unchanged primetime schedules in American television history, currently in its 15th year.)
* ''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"''.
Line 191:
* ''Australia's Funniest Home Videos'' (the Australian version of ''[[Americas Funniest Home Videos]]'' has been running since 1990)
* ''[[Barney and Friends (TV)|Barney and Friends]]'': The first videos came out in 1987. The show premiered in 1992 and has been running for 20 years.
* ''[[Bastard!! (Manga)|Bastard]]'': First volume published in 1988 (with a one-shot pilot in 1987 titled ''Wizard!!''). It was serialized irregularly by ''Weekly Jump'' before switching to ''Ultra Jump'' in 2000 (with a seven-year hiatus between 2001 and 2008) and as a result, only a relatively small set of 26 volumes have been published.
* ''[[Battle Tech (Tabletop Game)|Battle Tech]]'' (this futuristic wargame just celebrated its 25th Anniversary)
* ''[[Berserk]]'': First volume published in 1990 (with a one-shot pilot in 1989), and has been serialized in ''Young Animal'' since 1992. However, it's only published bimonthly, so it has the comparatively-small 33 volumes. However, the anime was only 25 episodes and only lasted half a year; the fact that it went through 13 volumes of story in that time is telling as to why.
Line 223:
* ''Issues and Answers'' (1960-81) that, along with ''Meet the Press'' and ''Face the Nation'', represented the height of Sunday- morning political television in the US.
* ''[[Jerry Springer|The Jerry Springer Show]]'' (running in syndication since 1991, started as a public-affairs talk show based at WLWT in Cincinnati; its parent company syndicated it nationally as it slowly evolved into its current "freakshow" format. It switched distributors from Multimedia to Universal when Multimedia was bought out by a newspaper company in 1995, along with Sally Jessy Raphael's show)
* ''[[Jo
* ''[[Kamen Rider]]'': The TV series has undergone four different eras ([[Kamen Rider (TV)|1971]]-[[Kamen Rider Stronger|1975]], [[Kamen Rider Skyrider|1979]]-[[Kamen Rider Super One|1981]], [[Kamen Rider Black|1987]]-[[Kamen Rider Black RX|1989]], [[Kamen Rider Kuuga|2000]]-present, for a total of over twenty years' worth of episodes) and there have also been several films and a few specials. The [[Milestone Celebration|1,000th episode]] aired on [[Kamen Rider OOO|April 3, 2011]].
* ''[[Kochikame (Manga)|Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kôen Mae Hashutsujo]]'' (called ''Kochikame'' for short, and for good reason -- it's the longest continuously-running manga series in terms of number of volumes, though ''Golgo 13'' beats it in years. Started in 1976, with 1,400+ chapters in 162+ tankoban volumes, '''it's still running.''' It ''also'' has a 367-episode anime adaptation and two movies.)
Line 274:
== At least 10 years ==
* ''[[
* ''The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet'' (1952-66; notable as the longest-running American sitcom until being surpassed by ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'')

* ''[[King of the Hill (Animation)|King of the Hill]]'' (13 seasons and survivor of FOX's [[Friday Night Death Slot|Sunday Sports Pre-emption Slot]], 1997-2009)
* ''[[Knots Landing]]'' (14 seasons, [[Spin
* ''Landline'' (Australian rural issues program, 1992-)
* ''[[Lassie (TV)|Lassie]]'' (1954-73)
Line 346:
* ''[[The Life of Nob T Mouse (Webcomic)|The Life of Nob T Mouse]]'' began in December 1996 and is still going.
* ''[[Loving]]'' (1983-95)
* ''[[
* ''[[Mad TV (TV)|Mad TV]]'' (1995-2009; is considered ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'''s longest-running rival sketch show, and like ''SNL'' had its share of cast changes, writer changes, and executive producer changes)
* ''[[Major]]'' (15 years; started in 1994 and recently reached 700 chapters).
Line 417:
* ''[[Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (Radio)|Wait Wait Don't Tell Me]]'' has been running since 1998.
* ''[[The Weakest Link]]'' (first broadcast in 2000, around 1,500 episodes in a decade, not including international versions)
* ''[[Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?]]'' (27 series over 12 years in its home country; has versions in lots of countries, some of which are [[Long Runners]] themselves).
* ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' started out on Radio 4 in 1988, then moved onto [[Channel Four]] the same year, where it lasted for 10 seasons; the show moved to Hollywood in 1998, when it got picked up by [[ABC]]. The show was cancelled in 2003 — and by cancelled, it stopped ''filming'' new episodes; new episodes continued to ''air'' on [[ABC Family]] until November 2006.
* ''[[WWE (Wrestling)|WWE]]'' ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'' (airing since 1993, has aired over 900 episodes, the most of any weekly primetime entertainment show in US history)
** And if one is inclined to say Raw is a [[Retool]] of ''Prime Time Wrestling'', this one's a two-and-a-half decade show.
