What is the longest running Broadway play that is still running?
The longest running Broadway show in the U.S. is The Phantom of the Opera (which is still playing on Broadway today!)The 2nd longest show is Cats (Which left the Broadway stage on Sept 10, 2000 I believeI think that The Fantasticks is the longest running show in American history. It closed in 2002 after a 42-year run (more than twice as long as Cats). It is also credited with being the longest running musical in the world.Actually the longest running play in the USA is "The Lost Colony" which has been running I believe since the late 1930's in Manteo NC...about the Sir Walter Raleigh colony that disappeared with only the engraved word "Croatan" on a tree remaining.
Gunsmoke was TV's longest running drama comedy What was the second longest?
Gunsmoke is certainly not the longest running comedy & depending on how exactly you're defining 'Drama', American/U.K./Australasian Soap Operas have lasted years or decades longer than Gunsmoke.You have to specify 'Longest Running American Drama', since it's not THE longest running drama.The U.K.'s medical drama, Causality has aired since 1986 and continues today (01|01|15) as well as Germany's police drama, Tatort has aired since 1970 & Japan's historical drama, Zenigata Heiji has aired since 1952 both of which are apparently still on the air today.There was also a teen drama from the U.K., Grange Hillthat aired for 30 years.Having said all that, the answer to the question of 'what was the second longest running drama' & presuming you're strictly speaking of American shows, the answer appears to be Lassie if soap operas are excluded & if we're not counting the fact Gunsmoke and Law & Order are tied for the longest running American drama.
Where does NCIS rank in the list of longest running series?
NCIS has aired for 14 seasons [as of August 2017] & while that's not bad for prime time series, it's verylow on the general list of 'longest running shows', especially when you include international shows.If you narrow it down to strictly American prime time shows [as per the list on Wikipedia] there are currently [again as of August 2017] 76 programs above it.

Is the Simpsons one of the oldest TV series out there?
Of course not. TV existed LONG before 1989. If by chance you're asking if it's one of the longest running TV shows, that depends. If you're speaking of Scripted American Prime Time TV shows, Yes 27 years is impressive, however when you look at just TV in general, No. it's not one of the longest running. There are shows that have been on years & decades longer than The Simpsons with several that are still producing episodes today.
What was the longest running TV show when it was canceled in 2001?
Your question can't really be answered due to the fact there are dozens of TV shows that were the longest running before & during 2001 that are still on the air today (as of May 2014) so anything that started before & canceled in 2001 clearly wasn't the longest running in the first place.
