Stargate SG1 - Season 9

[Colonel]

I have been watching this show for to long to stop now, I have to see the end of the story. This season or the next will be the last, but I am all for them going for a few more seasons. Once they hit ten it will be the longest running scifi show ever beating X-Files. At I think 11 seasons it will be the longest running show ever besides game shows and things of that sort, news, game show, etc.

Not so. M*A*S*H ran for 11 years. And Bonanza ran for 14 years. The all-time record holder, though, is Gunsmoke at 20 years.

At 20 years and 633 episodes, the longest-running American prime-time drama TV series to date. (2003)

(And James Arness holds the record for playing the longest single role as the star of that series, Marshall Dillon.)

I wouldn't be surprised to see The Simpsons hit 20 years, though. It's already the longest running animated series at 16 years.

Kelsey Grammer equalled that record (perhaps even overtook it). James Arness reportedly, from Grammer's own mouth, was bitter about losing his record and refused to even meet him.
