No, although it is up there, it's not close to being the longest running TV show.
Meet the Press has been producing episode since 1947 and still continues today (06|2014)
The longest running continuous cartoon or animated series is Japan's Sazae-san. It began in 1969 and still produces episodes today.
The longest "lasting" cartoon as in the longest one that has simply existed on the air while not producing new episodes appears to be The Woody Woodpecker Show. It began in 1957 and continued in syndication until 2015.
No, not even close.

The Jetsons is older having debuted in 1962 but it only lasted 3 seasons, the first from 1962 to 1963 & the second & third seasons lasting from 1985 to 1987.
It is shown on Boomerang from time to time but currently (as of March 2015) it is not airing.
The Simpsons debuted in 1989 and continues into its 27th season... so if you mean which show has been on longer with new episodes, obviously The Simpsons.
If you mean which has simply existed on TV the longest, it would probably be The Jetsons.
The Jetsons isn't even remotely close to being the longest running TV series.
It ran for three seasons, 1962-1963, 1985 & 1987. That's a drop of water in the ocean of TV runs.
Meet the Press has been airing since 1947 and remains on the air today.
There are dozens & dozens of shows, over a hundred, even two hundred, that lasted longer than The Jetsons.
No. Sesame Street debuted in 1969. The U.K.'s Blue Peter has been producing new episodes since 1958 & continues today (03|2015)
No, while Sesame Street's 48 years on the air [as of 2017] certainly puts it near the top of television runs, there are still 23 American shows that have lasted longer than Sesame Street.
It didn't and won't break that record because it isn't the longest running animated TV program.Japan's Sazae-San has been on the air since 1969 and still produces episodes today.However, the longest running prime time [e.g. American] animated program before The Simpsons was The Flintstones which ran for six seasons [1960-1966], so when The Simpsons' 140th episode aired Team Homer, that was when the broke The Flintstones record.
The rapper "Astro" (Brian Vaughn Bradley, Jr.) is 21 years old (born September 27, 1996).The cartoon dog Astro on The Jetsons is somewhat younger, but then he hasn't been born yet.
Not sure if you mean for an individual episode or for a season but since individual episode numbers have apparently been lost to the ether, Season One averaged 13.4 million households & when in Season Twelve they switched to recording viewership numbers, Season Twelve had the highest with an average of 14.7 million viewers.
There have been dozens if not hundreds of products advertised on The Simpsons over the 26 years.
Rita is the third longest after emily been the second longest and ken been the first longest
The Simpsons, it's not really a cartoon, but I consider animated to be cartoon. It's just been on TV for so long.

The longest running cartoon in history is Japan's Sazae-San, it began in October 1969 & has been airing ever since.
The Simpsons Movie Tom and Jerry Tarzan
Most likely the Simpsons because they have been around longer.

It's never become the longest running prime time series, nor will it ever earn that accolade.The Simpsons is the longest running American animated program & the longest running prime time scripted comedy & the longest running prime time American sitcom but the title of simply 'the longest running prime time series' belongs to The Hallmark Hall of Fame which has been airing for 64 seasons [& still does] followed by Walt Disney Presents which has been airing for 54 seasons [& still does].If you want to narrow it down to weekly series, 60 minutes is the longest running prime time series debuting in 1968.
