According to Guinness Records, the world's longest running TV commercial is the Discount Tire Company's "Thank You" commercial, produced by Swartwout Productions (Arizona, USA) and first aired in 1975. The same commercial has been aired continuously every year in parts of the USA. The commercial involves an old lady throwing an unwanted tire into the glass window of Discount Tires, while the voice-over suggests that if a customer is not happy with their tires, then please return them...Thank you. It gained such popularity that it is still shown, and won the Hollywood Radio and Television Society's World's Best Broadcast Advertisements of 1976 certificate. .

∙ 7y agoNot exactly sure what you mean by "single episode TV show" since every show airs a single episode at a time but, Meet the Press has been airing since 1947 but if you mean a non-news scripted show, then the American Soap Opera Guiding Light would be the answer. It began its TV run in 1952 after debuting as a radio show in 1937 so while the show had a 57 year TV run it actually lasted 72 years.

The Simpsons wasn't the longest running cartoon family in 1997 nor is it today.Japan's Sazae-san was, is & will remain for a while the longest running animated TV show in history, obviously this answers the question of the longest running cartoon family as well.It debuted in 1969 and produces new episodes today-However if you mean strictly American television, the closest answer is The Flintstones although it only ran for 6 seasons. The Simpsons passed The Flintstones' run in 1995 not 1997.
