13 TV Shows That Have Been Around Since the ’90s or Longer (Photos)
Sometimes TV shows feel like they have been on forever, and sometimes that’s true. Here are 13 of your favorite shows that have literally been on air forever.
“Law & Order”
The original Law & Order series premiered in Sept. 1990 and although the OG ran its final episode in 2010, the SVU spinoff is coming up on its 18th season since it first started in 1999.
“The Simpsons”
America’s favorite cartoon family has been on air since December1989, and it doesn’t look like the sitcom is going anywhere any time soon. “The Simpsons” will be premiering its 28th season later this mont.
“South Park”
The raunchy adult animated (key word being adult) sitcom first debuted in August 1997. Though its aim seems to be to offend every one possible, “South Park” will be around until at least 2019.
“Monday Night Raw”
Monday night’s pro wrestling program first debuted in January 1993. The show aired it’s 1,000th episode in 2012 and is still going strong starting its 25th season this September.

Adult animated sitcoms seem to be the thing that’s never going away. Despite taking a three year hiatus (it was cancelled then revived after its third season) “Family Guy” has been on air since 1999.
“Cops”
Bad boys have been on the run from cops since 1989 (probably earlier, too). The series is currently in its 29th season.
