 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

Re: Longest Running Characters? 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.
