| Actually, it looks like this measures the longest-running version. Price is Right focuses on the current incarntion running for 38 years, since it outlasted the original '56-'65 run. Jeopardy! is 26 years, because the Art Fleming show didn't last as long as the Alex Trebek version. Hollywood Squares counts the original 16 year run, since the Tom Bergeron's revival only lasted 6.
I think that it should count Wheel of Fortune twice, since the original daytime show lasted 16 years, while the current, syndie version is going strong after 27. Considering You Bet Your Life made it on the list and it went off the air after 11 years, I think the daytime Wheel of Fortune would qualify twice. |
