Sazae- San: Longest Running Animated Television Series

When we think of longest running television program, The Simpsons are the picture in our head. A very fewer people know that Sazae-San, a Japanese animated TV show has been running years before The Simpsons. And hence, it holds the world record for the 'Longest Running Television Animated Show Ever'.


Sazae San received the award in 2019 when it completed 50 years of its run. With over 7000 episodes under its name, it seems pretty unbeatable record and even if a show is capable enough of reaching and eventually reaching that Everest, it's going to take it many decades.
