 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.
