Almost 20 Scripted TV Shows of 20+ Years
Have no fears, they've got stories for years! Most long series bow out between 10 and 20 years, so it's amazing when a show's whole cast makes a seemingly endless time commitment to reach the same 2-decade milestone as The Simpsons did back in 2009. Sure, working the same acting job for 2 decades is exhausting, but it's worth it if you can find other work around the main show's schedule, like Tom Kenny and Clancy Brown during Spongebob Squarepants, and it isn't so bad if you do the right new things to keep your characters and series interesting for more than half of 20 years. It's good to have variety in your life, and the more you work in acting, the richer you are to afford more Mario Party video games. You can rest easy once your show is finished and have more time for other things because you will be immortalized in syndication and the royalty checks that come with it, as long as you don't go to jail for a very serious offense. Can any series newer than 1990 perform the same feat? Let's find out! I do not cover soap operas, Doctor Who or Sesame Street. I also can't include Thomas the Tank Engine and Barney if primary cast members are turned over in less than 10 years. So, what TV shows other than Fox's The Simpsons got this far?
