The record for the longest-running prime-time show of any kind seems safe. It's "60 Minutes," which went on the air in 1968 and is still ticking.

I think Meet the Press has been on the longest. As far as an entertaining show, I think Gunsmoke was on for 20 years.

I'd have to say Simpsons. They came on the air when I was 8 and they're still making new episodes even as I turn 30.

It's The Simpsons... I believe M*A*S*H was second longest.
