Countdown on ABC ran for 13 years (8 November 1974 until 19 July 1987 and is not on the list. Baxterp ( talk) 21:57, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps we could divide the article into two sections:
I just thought that it would be handy for people to have two lists organised into these orders.

Just completed a full update of this list. I updated all the years for 2010 and re-ordered them. I added some big ones from the past which were missing including Bandstand, Pick a Box, Burke's Backyard and Quantum. I am sure there are others as well especially games shows. Would like to see more 'total of episodes' included in this list too. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 02:41, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Just noted a problem: "The Great South East" is listed as both entries 59 and 69 on this list. Clarification may be needed if these are different shows (even though they are on the same network) or the incorrect entry needs to be removed. -- Mike Bourke — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.69.177 ( talk) 04:17, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Just noting an omission: "The Mike Walsh Show" [1] ran for 12 years. "Midday" was also a long running replacement for it. Geoff Steele ( talk) 22:21, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I note the obvious note in the lead, "All data is correct as of 9 December 2014 except years running which needs updating." This sounds like a very tedious thing for contributors interested in this page to continuously update, and I recommend converting the dates to {{ age}} instead, so that as long as a series is still running, the age of the series will be accurate.
Ex: In the table, Four Corners is listed as running from 1961–present. Changing the hard 55 value (incorrect anyway) to the a formatted age template {{age|1961|08|19}} (the series start date according to the Four Corners article) yields 62. If a series has ended, like Here's Humphrey, we simply add the end date as best we can, i.e. {{age|1965|05|24|2008}} which yields 42–43. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 05:21, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
@ J Bar: There is a severe lack of references on this page, and considering it is a list of durations, I would think citations should be needed (perhaps best in a seperate ciations column) for every row entry. Is there any reason why it hasn't been done? Also, why is the column headed years instead of seasons, given many shows take years off?
Finally, how do you explain the rank number? It seems to be ranked by year, but for titles that have the same amount of years, there seems to be no secondary sort as far as I can tell. For example, #35 has 23 years and 575 eps, but #36 has 23 years and a higher 629 eps. Shouldn't NRL Footy Show be higher given it has more episodes? Similar story for #59 and #61, #79 and #80, #105, #106, #109, #111 and #114. I'm not even sure you can have ranks, given the majority of titles have no episode numbers recorded. Perhaps the rank column should be deleted all together, or all titles with the same number of years given equal rank. -- Whats new? (talk) 08:22, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
@ J Bar: Am wondering whether we ditch the years columns and just rank by seasons. For unscripted shows without defined seasons, we can count a year on air as one season. I look at a case such as Rake which has been on air for six years, but there's only been four seasons (it wasn't on air in 2011, 2013 or 2015 - just 2010, 2012, 2014 & 2016). I don't think years off should count in a list of "longest-running series". -- Whats new? (talk) 23:55, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
@ J Bar: With regards to your merging the years and seasons columns, and previous discussions on the topic, could you explain why you have done it this way? This list needs to clearly define what "longest-running" is - years, or seasons, or both in separate columns. It creates inconsistencies, for example Rake aired 4 seasons over 7 years, but it is hardly fair to suggest it ran as long as My Kitchen Rules which ran 7 seasons over 7 years. I would suggest solely basing this list on seasons like List of longest-running U.S. primetime television series and List of longest-running U.S. cable television series or return to split columns sorted first by year then season. -- Whats new?

@ Whats new?: What was wrong with the shade of blue that was used in the article? All the other similar "longest-running television series" articles use that shade of blue rather than green.

Is there such an article? Or should they be included in this article, in a different colour? Off the top of my head, the longest running ones are probably Sesame Street (since 1971, so 47 years and counting) and Days of our Lives (1968-2013, 45 years). Adpete ( talk) 03:22, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
