Gunsmoke was the longest-running show on television for some time. Not sure if it still holds the record. James Arness played Sheriff Matt Dillon, who had the world's longest and chastest romance with a brothel madam ever.
He also played the gruff mountain-man uncle in How the West Was Won, in the late 70s/early 80s.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't really know from James Arness, I confess.

Didn't Law & Order beat out Gunsmoke's record?

Why would you say "I'm not racist but I hate black people"? I mean, at that point, aren't you okay with being taken for racist? Even a little bit?
But racism's so bad!!
Hate is just whatever.

No, because NBC canceled before that could happen.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.

I want to know who ita wants to punch! As long as it's not me.
I don't know how to feel about this, quite honestly.

You know, television wasn't born yesterday.
Yeah, and you used to be only able to get three channels, except in rare cases when the wind was right and the antenna could get the UHF frequencies.
ION, the magazine touting the annual Freedom Festival, ie, 4th of July extravaganza, arrived today, trumpeting the virtues of Family, Freedom, God, and Country. Full of pictures of happy, prosperous, white, conservative folks. Oh, wait, the drum major of the marching band on the cover is an Asian girl. Diversity achieved.

I don't know about chastest. There was always a hint that there was something going on.
L&O tied for number of seasons, but Gunsmoke had a record for number of episodes that is probably unbeatable and that's not counting a decade of radio episodes.

What about The Guiding Light, though? Or is that apples and oranges?
