Yet next to zero continued 35 years
Lol, what? If you look at a list of scripted TV shows that have ran for 35+ years it's going to be dominated by shitty soap operas. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Those shitty soap operas generally get views, and it also goes to show that a cartoon is even more rare. The Simpsons is alright, and people clearly do watch it if its still running. Hell, most good shows only get 3 to 5 seasons now if they're lucky!
I don't count trash TV that changes often, sometimes even a different cast within the same couple of years.
Typical "technically something else is true " kind of stupid response that makes no difference to me.
Well yes, bad soap operas... And Doctor Who.
