Law & Order" marks 19th season Wednesday; record for drama is 20. Creator D*ck Wolf wants to surpass that mark, set by "Gunsmoke".Show has lots of new blood, particularly Anthony Anderson as detective. What is the longest you have watched a tv show? From Pilot to series end? Or have you given up somewhere in the middle? http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/05/tv.law.order.ap/index.html

That's neat.. I think they should push for the record. I don't watch TV shows for very long, but I like the idea of such a long-running program. I hadn't realized it had been that long.

I watch Degrassi: The next generation and i started watching that at pilot and it is still on. I also watched south of no where and instant star from beginning to end, but they where both 4 seasons. I think those are the only TV shows that i watched since the beginning to the end except Degrassi because it is still on.

I am not to much into Law & Order I have watched it and it is okay, but I don't watch it all the time. Gunsmoke is a favorite of my husbands. I like House, Scrubs, Nip/Tuck and Charmed I watched Charmed till the end when I could.

Oh wow, that is hard to believe that show has been around for almost 20 years now. I love watching law and order. I knwo it was on again last night. I didn't watch it thou. As I decided to jump on the computer and watch episodes of The Shield and Sons of Anarchy.

Wow, I didn't realize Law and Order had been on that long! I really like it though. I don't watch it as much as I used to though. If I start a show from the beginning I will usually stick with it for as long as it runs. Though some shows just aren't on at a good time for us. I started out with Lost but then I would miss one here and there and soon I was lost lol. But for the most part I stick with a show. Good for Law and Order. I hope they keep going for years.

Blimey! 19 years. We have had it out here for about 10 years. Only series I know that I watched from beginning to end was the original Star Trek.

I don't think I have ever watched a show from the pilot to the last episode. I normally lose interest in the middle somewhere or I start watching it after it has already been on awhile. I never really got into the Original Law and Order. I watch CI and SUV more often.
