While 20 years on the air (1955-1975) is a respectful amount of years for an American prime time show, it isn't remotely close to being the longest running TV show & then including TV shows from around the world, it's a small fish in a big pond of TV runs.
To name one show, Meet the Press has aired weekly since it debuted in 1947 and is still in production.
