Post Longest Running Characters?
Soap Operas not included, or maybe they should be. I believe Frasier is #1, anyone know any other long ones. I think the Simpsons Characters are close now though

Frasier- 466 Episodes (263 Frasier) (201 Cheers) (1 Wings) (1 John Laroquette show)
Homer and Co.- 425 Episodes
Worf- 277 episodes (175 ST:TNG) (102- ST:DSN)

Any others, obvious people from Mash and Cheers are over 250

I believe Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote has 264 episodes. Though some of those are just introducing a mystery to be solved by another character.

Ed Asner appears to have played Lou Grant for 283 episodes.

God knows how many episodes James Arness played Matt Dillon. A whole fucking lot.

When Frasier was nearing the end, it was James Arness' name that kept coming up...


(There were 635 episodes of the Gunsmoke TV series according to the Pedia...)
