Longest Running Shows And Videos - Books too, if you want.

Last of the Summer Wine, ran for 31 seasons, between 1971 and 2010. Show was just a sitcom of old people just fucking around, and kept replacing them every few years. Peter Sallis was the longest severing one.

Then there's this review of every episode of Big Bang Theory. It's just a guy standing in front of a bland background so it makes for good background noise.
That's Brad Jones, The Cinema Snob of Channel Awesome.

I once made a post about how I got a recommendation on Youtube for a recent video of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. If it's still active, that shit has been going on since my college days, over 10 years ago.

Meet the Press has been on since 1947. It's the longest running program on American TV.

Wheel of Fortune claims to have about 8000 episodes.

Fun fact about M.A.S.H. It can only be viewed on portable, black and white CRT TVs like this

If anyone tells you they've seen it in color they're lying.

We had one of those in the kitchen. You had to bang the side of it to get it to work.

i'm willing to bet some telenovela has the record, hasn't days of our lives been on for like 50 years with episodes everyday?

googled it and it's been going since the 60's with 15k episodes

They likely have much more than that because Wheel of Fortune started out as a Daytime Game Show but then moved into nighttime syndication. the 8000 is the amount of nighttime episodes they have since it started in 1983.
There is one game show out there that has aired more episodes though and has been on longer, and that is of course.

which has been on the air since 1972 in the daytime since it's debut and apparently is supposed to have its 10,000 episode soon. Its crazy to think that there was once a time where Game Shows completely had control over daytime but all that's left is The Price is Right.
 
As for longest running show in terms of time, got to be AVGN. That show has had new episodes since the early days of YouTube. It might even pre-date it
Yeah If i remember right he did the first three in 03-04 as a joke with some college buddies before they talked him into digging them up and putting them on youtube a few years later.

Might also be able to make a case for The Classic Game Room but that guy seems to try and reinvent himself every few years before giving up and going back to making game reviews.

my mother has been watching coronation street for as long as i can remember
since it aired in the 60's it has amassed 11,482 episodes. it would take you upwards of 2 months of nonstop viewing to finish the entire thing, However its still only the 12th longest running tv show by number of total episodes.

as for something thats actually good, I really like hardcore history,

Dan carlin is a historian that goes into articulate detail about various historical events for upwards of 9 hours, its really good and way better than something retarted like binonicle lore dictated by a homosexual faggot

I thought that ended? I know at some point it was more about his comic books than actual game reviews.

I decided to check for this post, and while there is a podcast, the rest appears to be trying to promote his music and some old comic book reviews.

SFDebris is a Star Trek reviewer that had videos all the way back to 2010 and is still going. There are videos and a blog before that, but I've never seen them, and I assume are lost media. There were some great bits, like this explanation of World War 2 according to genre films and TV.

I really like hardcore history,
I've never listened to Hardcore History. I've heard nothing but good things. I had no idea it went that far back.

Podcasts are an interesting one. I mentioned Vinesauce in the OP, but it's kind of the same thing with podcasts. I've tried a few times to re-listen to the old Giant Bomb podcast which goes back to 2008, and while technically still around, it went down hill at some point. There's lots of times and places we could point to but as the exact cause. The CBS buyout, Ryan's death, Patrick being hired. We could also go back to the GameSpot podcast before Giant Bomb.

Anyway, it used to be 1-3 hours of gaming talk and news every week. Though how much holds up today is arguable.


Skeptics Guide to the Universe goes back to 2005. I remember liking it back in the day, but it got repetitive. Scientific skeptism, but only towards the same few topics repeatedly. Low hanging fruit like homeopathy and ghosts.
 
COMMON FILTH RADIO (CFR) has been running with a few breaks since 2014. making it one of the longer running podcasts in the right wing political-sphere.
the early editions mostly talk about homosexuals and trannies, this was back when it was mostly a tumblr thing. his vine marathon and tumblrista series document the early inception of online transgender cultures and are now in hind sight, prophetic. His mental state rapidly deteriorates into unfiltered nihilism and is sometimes uncomfortable to listen to bordering on cringe at times. some time around 2016 he decided to DFE and take a 4 year break but is back now with a much better mindset after taking 5 grams of mushrooms and 2 tabs of acid

It's mad funky, but he's ended it a good three times now I think. first time was in the mid 2010s, then in 2018 he moved them all to Amazon Prime, then he did them as youtube shorts around the same time. Then I think he dropped them until last year where he's just been throwing them on his website on a monthly-ish basis. It's real curious but again it's a very spotty track record.

In terms of YouTube Gaming? Lets Plays by Chuggaaconroy have got to be up there. Been making informative gaming videos since 2008 and still doing quite good in terms of retaining viewership.

Whoisthisgit is also a good contender, been uploading on the site since 2007 and now makes little autistic gaming analysis videos about bosses and bad endings. Fair warning he is a Br*t, but thankfully he prefers to use text on screen for commentary.
Both of these were a flashbang of memory. Chugga's always a good content creator, and he's done well after the incident with that tranny weirdo.

Whoisthisgit is a name I haven't heard in years though, and it's amazing that he's still posting basically the same way he's always done.
