What's your favorite long-running (over 5-years) TV show?
 

I think I'm up in the air between "All in the Family" "M.A.S.H.", and "Law and Order", both fairly consistenatly well-written and well-cast. Then again, I'm probably forgetting quite a few others that have had a good run. I'm thinking 5 seasons or more to qualify, though I can't say for certain what shows even qualify (without googling, that is). Frasier, Happy Days, Married with Children, Twilight Zone, Three's Company...a mixed bag, but there seem to be quite a few...


So, what's your favorite?

The simpsons. Without a shadow of a doubt.

yup simpsons, best ever.

On the drama side i'd go with ER.

I say Simpsons.
As well, I liked Star Trek TNG.

Simpsons as well. I think South Park is over 5 years so I will give them a vote as well.

Simpsons
SNL
Southpark
Conan O Brien

Simpsons, Road Rules, and Saved by the bell (that ran for 5 years didn't it ? been so long since i've seen that...but man...good times)

Simpsons, Southpark, how long was Sanford and Son on?

Married...with Children. Oh man was that show hilarious. Also the X-Files, and Saved by the Bell

I like Boy meets world but I am just a stupid nerd that way. (really I have never met a second person who likes that show but EVERYONE knows it and it lasted 7 seasons... wtf?) Simpsons is the old stand by of course. I also liked the X-men cartoon show and X-men evolution while not hitting 5 seasons YET ... we all should hope.

<P>I kinda liked boy meets world in a it's-still-disney-but-I'm-still-watching way.....

Favorites: The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Cheers, and NYPD Blue.

Someone mentioned Buffy. Not to criticize, but what is the appeal of that show, besides the babe factor? To me, it seems like a rather mediocre show but I know alot of people that watch Buffy and Angel religiously.

ER & Friends

Friends and the Simpsons

Southpark
The Simpsons
MST3K (especially the old ones, with Joel)
and the oil painting thing on PBS (don't know if it meets the 5 year limit though)

Bob Ross?

seinfeld and er...thursdays were my heaven

southpark, simpsons, mash

Ok, so it was only on for 4 years, but if you haven't seen it, go check out Farscape...Best show on tv ever. The whole run is being re-aired on SCIFI right now mon-thurs nights...and there is active movement to get it back in production...so go check it out, and once you get hooked you can join the movement.

And I'm really getting into Buffy finally, after much prodding from friends.

MASH, Law & Order, Seinfeld are other greats.

Oh, and BBtB, I really like Boy Meets World, you aren't alone there.

Fearofmear, I had the same complaints you did for years with Buffy. But I started watching it, and it really is good. There's a reason it's on TV Guides 50 Greatest Shows ever list. I couldn't get past the whole monsters in bad costumes thing, but once you do, you'll find it's well written and very funny.

Um... 60 Minutes.

I lose.

South Park
Mystery Science Theater 3000
MacGyver

Took the words right out of my mouth...of cuorse, onodrim has no interest in girls so why she likes buffy still baffles me :confused:

Boy Meets World? I'd watch it. Wouldn't say I liked it, but Topanga was hot :)

Anyways, my favorite would definitely be Law and Order (ONLY the original one). Always been great, even with different casts.

Hmmmm, i think ill go with simpsons too...

The Simpsongs, Dragonball Z, and The Screen Savers :)

<i>Seinfeld</i>
Absolutely no question, IMO.

The Simpsons, and Red Dwarf even though its on hiatus.... it did have 8 season, and they are still thinking of doing a 9th and 10th once the movie is done.

MASH, X-Files, Seifeld

My all time favorite would have to also be the Simpsons and then M.A.S.H.

Monday night Raw, I'm assuming cable counts.

Friends.

Survey says...

Duh, the fucking Simpson.

Nothing greater then the simpsons. With South Park a close second.
