  1. The longest from now, or the longest from the series' start?
    Because The Simpsons have some serious head start.
    By the way, what were the criteria to include a show in this list? Castle is already in its 7th season for example...

    ReplyDelete
  2. Well, The Walking Dead has been described as a 'never-ending zombie story', so I think that show could go on for a very, very long time. Especially considering it's (one of) the most popular shows right now.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yeah and PLL is going to end its run after season 7.

    ReplyDelete
  4. And Game Of Thrones is going to be 7 season as well....

    ReplyDelete
  5. Didn't they say 8 or 9 seasons?

    ReplyDelete
  6. No oney can deny that supernatural is the only show that can last for ever, right?

    ReplyDelete
  7. The Simpsons can last forever if it wants to, so that first and foremost.
    I expect Law and Order SVU and SPN to have the longest number of seasons behind The Simpsons. Now, the one that will be in air after those ended is The Walking Dead, 12 seasons planned? Yeah, in the next seven years everything else may end, but The Simpsons

    ReplyDelete
  8. agree about simpsons, this is a user submitted poll. So it was by the users choice to include what he probably watches or knows. But in case there is something you are not aware of you there is Other.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I voted for SPN, because I think the show will end only when CW is able to release its spin-off, otherwise, there will be SPN forever. I also voted for TBBT and TWD. The last one will last until there are zombies watching this show. It used to be a good show but nowadays they just keep walking and walking and walking and getting in empty houses for 3 or 4 episodes!!! With its monster audience TWD will last about 15 ou 20 seaons and of course a spin-off!!! IMO

  10. Looks like we had the same thought, son :-)

    ReplyDelete
  11. If you search the web for a bit, most websites say that the show will end after 7 seasons. The problem is that the writer of the books is a really slow writer, so books 6 and 7 still have to be finished. So my guess is that eventually it will be 8 seasons, because they will have to fill the time for the writer to finish the books.

    ReplyDelete
  12. The Simpsons invalidates every other option. No show will ever catch it or surpass it in longevity.

    ReplyDelete
  13. TBBT,The Simpsons,NCIS & SPN.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I totally agree. "The Simpsons" will be on TV as long as TV exists.

    ReplyDelete
  15. The better question would be who will be watching them. Liking tv show is one thing, but spending one quarter of life with it is sth else.

    ReplyDelete
  16. NCIS. Gibbs forever!

    ReplyDelete
  17. The Simpsons will outlive time itself.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sure, I was just wondering.

    ReplyDelete
  19. IMO only NCIS style shows that have the rating legs will go far but I think POI has the potential for a spin off.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Long live the head slap.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Its like the family guy crossover when Stewie asks Bart how long Nelson has been bulling him, 23 years LOL

    ReplyDelete
  22. They can all have more than 20 seasons, but I think the problem is the actors and their payment, especially if the show is mega popular.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Any of the animated shows, those seem to be immune to cancellation.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Simpsons is already well over twice as long as some of these longest running shows. I very much doubt it will get beaten.

    ReplyDelete
  25. They've stated multiple times that they will not be waiting on the books.


    Which is good because I don't believe the books will ever be finished.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Why is Supernatural winning? Both brothers will be grandfathers by the time they would be able to beat Simpsons :D

    ReplyDelete
  27. Game Of Thrones, The Walking Dead and The Simpsons.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Cartoons excluded, my guess is that none of these shows actually beats SVU.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I disagree with your SPN reasoning, I think it will end within the next 2 seasons. I would guess at season 12 as being the last. I would not be shocked if season 11 was announced as the last at the May upfronts. I dont think CW will end up with a SPN spin off and I dont think Jared or Jensen will agree to keep going till CW find one they like.

    ReplyDelete
  30. sometimes that fandom just vote for the show just because its an option

    ReplyDelete
  31. Slightly unclear question as some have pointed out already.
    I interpretted it as the overall longest running as in which have the most seasons and voted NCIS, SVU and Simpsons.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Walking dead it will be over after 7 seasons ... i love walking dead but my opinion is if a show takes so long and so many years i think that it ends up to be boring and have nothing to show anymore example greys or supernatural etc etc...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I had to say Criminal Minds and Supernatural. After at least ten seasons, people still obsess about Supernatural, and everyone loves a good crime drama that dives into a violent criminal's psyche.

    ReplyDelete
  34. No it won't next season is looking like it could be it's last, which will be it's 8th season. There are many shows just in these options that have gone passed that already.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Of the shows I watch, I voted for Supernatural and Bones. They have both been on the air for ten years and seem to have no end in sight.

    ReplyDelete
  36. GOT is ending in S8

    ReplyDelete
  37. We already know PLL will end at S7 and that GOT will end at S8, so I voted for NCIS, TBBT and The Simpsons

    ReplyDelete
  38. My children will see 70 yr old sam and dean still hunting monsters and dean still picking up women..now that would be awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  39. The Walking Dead. Characters die off and new ones are always added, keeping it fresh. It will last because it is not so dependent on particular characters. If Rick should grow old, he could mentor another character to lead. Then he could die and we'd have a new leader. It's what kept E.R. on for so long--rotating cast of characters and in the end, none of the original cast remained.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Even if it ended next year, nothing here is going to beat The Simpsons. I mean the show is already on its 20-some odd year. Of the others NCIS is looking good to continue forever and I'm not sure if Supernatural will die until one of the actors falls down and breaks a hip.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I don't think even that would stop it, it wouldn't be the first time they put a character into the wheelchair.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I don't watch any of the producerals but aI voted for them. And Grey's Anatomy is probably gonna air for a while longer.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Do you think SVU will equal or surpass its mothership?

    ReplyDelete
  44. All these cartoons can go on as long as they want to, but excluding them, let's see.
    Pretty Little Lairs is ending. CSI has one last season at best. Bones, Grey's Anatomy, SVU, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries can go on as long as the leads are on board and the ratings don't wane. However, I do think in 3-4 years they will all have ended. The Big Bang Theory, Criminal Minds, NCIS and Modern Family have all peaked but again, as long as the cast wants to continue, I think these shows can continue for at least 4-5 seasons. Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead can run for many more seasons, but since they're cable shows they are likeley to end at their creative peaks. Royal Pains and It's Always Sunny have been renewed for a few seasons but it's difficult to say since ratings don't matter that much for cable shows.

    I think SVU will be on for the longest, and NCIS is a possibility.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Two different shıows, and it's not "running" for 51 years.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't think so. I think SVU will end this year or the next. But this is a very uneducated guess, I have no way to estimate how much the costs are becoming a factor.

    ReplyDelete
  47. How does Game of thrones qualify as long-running? Unless you're comparing it to quickly-canceled new shows. Anyways, objectively speaking, TWD seems like it'll last for an another decade, thoughi i don't watch it. Different story if the question was "which show/s you'd like to see running longest?"

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is one of my favorite SPN motivator:

    ReplyDelete
  49. This is one of my favorite SPN motivators. I think it says it all.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ha! I think geriatic Supernatural could be a lot of fun.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Imagine the DVD Box Set of the last few seasons. "Supernatural's Senile Seasons"

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yeah, I think it has two seasons left at most.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I voted for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia cause it'll never get canceled because it is the network president's favorite show so as long as the actors wanna do it'll stay on the air. The Big Bang Theory because as long as the viewership stays high CBS will want it to stay on the air. And I voted for The Simpsons because at this point I think it'll stay on the air until one of the main voice actors is still with us.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Simpsons. Almost thirty seasons. It'll be the last to die.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Lol yeah sure it'll totally best Simpsons for that.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Adventure Time? It's been on for six seasons. That's not really old.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Isn't its actually run age like 30-something tops?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Modern Famiky, The Walking Dead and The Simpsons.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Well technically yes, for run was 26 seasons year and now this run is heading into its 9th year but its still a huge achievement and I have no doubt the current run will out live most of the shows here.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I class it as 1 show (its in the same continuity) and its most likely going to live on longer than most shows listed for this poll.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think it will end when Jensen Ackles decides to move on, the writers have shown they are willing to go on without Jared but not without Jensen.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Supernatural, The Simpsons, and Law and Order...my godddd. Those shows will outlive the human race. why? B/c they killed us. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  63. Regardless of the book releases, they could end up doing 7 seasons, 7 seasons and a movie, 8 seasons, 8 seasons and a movie, etc. GRMM would prefer they do a movie but I'd rather just have an 8th season.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Supernatural will never work without either brother. They are both just as important to the story and show. I have zero interest in starting a brother war here. It's exhausting.

    ReplyDelete
  65. NCIS, Supernatural and Law & Order SVU. Since USA is in full purge mode, I expect that Royal Pains days are numbered.

    ReplyDelete
  66. The Simspsons, NCIS and L&O: SVU

    ReplyDelete
  67. Thanks for choosing me at random :)


    To all those who have confusion, sorry if it weren't clear. By long-running I meant series that have been 5 seasons or longer. By 'last the longest', I meant which one will be the last one left on air u_u


    Though I know Pretty Little Liars has confirmed season seven is the end, i'm not convinced. I included cartoons because they too are series, and every series on here is on or over five seasons long.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Like every series on here, long-running I defined as five seasons or more for the purpose of this poll. That's pretty long nowadays, to me.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Grey's anatomy all the way ! Shonda is a genius ! I mean even if we lost character that we loved (Burke,Izzie;George,Lexie,Christina ect..), she always manage to introduce new great character who fit very well with the other character and the story.(April,Jackson,Owen,Teddy, Jo ect..)
    Plus , the medical cases are always intriguing , the frienships are touching , the love stories are always real , like we can identify ourselves with them , and there is sometimes great action.
    But more important, the level of acting is PERFECTION ! Love that show , i will never get tired to watch all of them !

    ReplyDelete
  70. I know. I'm not discounting that. But that doesn't really give in a fifty plus year history.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I complete disagree with you (so I agree with Nickolas). No one already said that next season will be the last. Second point: the poll was about "if a show will run the longest" and not if a show will be renewed. So, from my point of view, it will finish on season 15. :)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I can always hope , right!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Is The Simpsons the longest running show on this list? 26 years so far. Supernatual will have 11 seasons at least. Law & Order: SVU is in Season 16 so that also got my vote. CSI I think will end this year at 15 seasons. I've seen 1 episode of NCIS but they're up to 12 seasons. I know it's easy to keep the crime procedurals going but they really need to end Bones.


    I could see The Walking Dead going for a while longer. I know they're doing a spin-off most likely and may wrap up the original show and end Rick's story but I think TWD could go on without Rick as the main character.


    Game of Thrones won't run that long because it'll match the number of books.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Definitely Supernatural and the Simpsons. Even though Supernatural has run its course I could definitely see it going on for 10 more years. With regards to Pretty Little Liars, I hope to god that it doesnt run that long. Show desperately needs to end.

    Supernatural of course and the Simpsons :P

    ReplyDelete
  76. Was confused by the definition of 'lasting the longest', so I went with which will have the longest run, and just voted The Simpsons. With how expensive scripted television gets to be as time goes on, I can't see any modern show running for over 26 seasons, which it would have to to beat the Simpsons.


    Now, as far as which is farthest away from cancellation, I have no clue.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Total number of seasons? The Simpsons, of course, plus SVU and probably NCIS, which has the formula to go on and on, as long as Mark Harmon is willing. I think it may pass CSI.

    Farthest from cancellation? Eh, still The Simpsons.

    ReplyDelete
  78. The Simpsons could last for decays because it'a an animated series.

    ReplyDelete
  79. The Walking Dead is too good. And Family Guy and Modern Family are hilarious

    ReplyDelete
  80. Ha! They all take place in a nursing home and the biggest twist of the episode is whether the evil is real or it is their dementia.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Spongebob Squarepants started May 1, 1999. So, in a few months, he'll be 16. The Simpsons has everyone beat. I would like Gibbs and Co. to stick around forever. "Gunsmoke was on for 20 years.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Agree the poll question is kinda confusing. "Which long-running series will last the longest" meaning the last to end(from now)? the one(s) with most seasons? because SUV has 16 seasons I think but NCIS(12) will end after it. Even though...either way it's pretty much guaranteed to be The Simpsons lol Homer outlives them all! D'OH!

    More thoughts:
    -I don't think SUV will last much longer (won't beat original's 20 seasons)
    -Bones IMHO has 1 or 2 seasons left (leaning towards next season being last)
    -CSI likely ends next year
    -PLL and TVD also gonna end in like a year or two I assume

    - Criminal Minds I love you, but honestly think it's near the end of it's run (CBS might think similarly seeing how they tried Stalker and now try a spin-off). Anyway, seems incredibly hard to keep the cast on for much longer (most of them from season 1 and don't think it could last without them), I'm gonna guess season 12 it ends - which isn't a bad thing. I don't think TV shows should last forever.

    - NCIS: we'll talk again after season 15 ;)
    - SPN: I can see seasons 13-14 seasons at least lol wow :o
    - Grey's Anatomy - which season it's at? 11? I can see Shonda trying to beat ER

    ReplyDelete
  83. all of them should be cancelled immediately

    ReplyDelete
  84. Probably the ones I don't watch. haha I always get attached to the ones on the chopping block.
