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?

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.

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. |

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. |

 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. |
