I used to watch Bewitched all the time when I was little. I haven’t watched it in years and just looked on Wiki to see how long it ran. 8 years. 254 episodes.

Night Court because of the South Park joke about being lame in it's fifth season. It ran for nine seasons.

I can think of more examples of the opposite. Salute Your Shorts only had 26 episodes. Considering how big it looms in my memory of watching Nickelodeon, I must have watched every episode dozens of times.

Not mine, but a friend of mine was surprised when I showed him how many episodes AFTER the Shark Jump Happy Days lasted for.

The Real Ghostbusters ran from 1986 to 1990, that's a pretty good run for a show that was meant to cash in on a movie.

The original Lassie lasted nearly twenty years, with 19 seasons. Timmy didn't show up until season four and tapped out after season ten. Awhile back I was shocked to discover that The Andy Griffith Show lasted long enough to have color episodes and actually went three more seasons after Don Knotts left. Not mine, but a friend of mine was surprised when I showed him how many episodes AFTER the Shark Jump Happy Days lasted for. The shark jump was always overrated in terms of Happy Days turning point. How can you argue that that was when the show starting crashing when Chachi hadn't even debuted yet? No, the real "shark jumping" point was season eight when Ron Howard and Donny Most left. And even then the show managed to limp along for four more seasons.

The original Dark Shadows. I always assumed it was just a cult show that only lasted a couple of seasons at best. It actually had 6 seasons. Also, Diffrent Strokes had 8 seasons and the last season actually was on a different network (ABC).

Sabrina the teenage witch. There are more seasons without Libby and Valerie than there are with them.

Caroline in the City is another one I just thought of. I honestly remember it being pretty short-lived (two seasons at the most) with a pretty significant hiatus thrown in there at one point. But no, it apparently ran for a stable four seasons with nearly a hundred episodes.

Given most cartoons run two years at best, the runs of Scooby-Doo, Super Friends and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are breathtaking.

The Jeffersons (11) and The Facts of Life (9) are spin-offs that lasted longer than the show from which it was first created. (All In The Family and Diff'rent Strokes both had 8 seasons each.)
In that time, it was quite the feat.

To be fair, Superfriends would label each season as a brand new show: 1973: Superfriends 1977: All New Superfriends Hour 1978: Challenge of the Superfriends 1979: Worlds Greatest Superfriends 1984: Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show 1985: Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians As well as the 1980-82 stuff, but I dont know where to put them (some of those didnt even air in the US).

Sabrina the teenage witch. There are more seasons without Libby and Valerie than there are with them. I found it amazing that such a popular show had a huge turnover of cast members. Off the top of my head Jenny, Mr Pool, Quizmaster, Valerie, Libby, Dreama, Mrs Quick, Harvey, Josh, Myles and the Aunts all left the show during its run.

As did that material that covered her midriff when they moved to the CW.
