Short-lived?

also, no love for Frasier?

Roseanne ran for 9 seasons & had 222 episodes. That's scarcely short-lived.

Geraldo was on the air for 12 years. Again, not a short-lived show.

Which makes me wonder if the submitter even bothered to look at all the shows listed in the article.

GreenAdder		2010-09-09 01:20:15 AM

I wanted "Chuck" to be short-lived. Farking Subway.

lajimi		2010-09-09 01:45:57 AM

'Bette' was wonderful, funny and fresh but only to a limited audience. 'Bob' was hilarious, IMHO, but putting Newhart and Judd Hirsch together is maybe a little too much dry humor for John Q to grasp.

Elzar		2010-09-09 02:06:16 AM

Conan is not really that funny, neither is Letterman

I hate you. Chuck is awesome.

Also, it's named after a character, not an actor, so it isn't relevant here.

Hawaii Five-O was on for 12 years. And starts again this September!

True, but it wasn't a single-named show. However, it had one of the best ever theme songs.

Oh. Single-named shows with a fantastic personality. Hard to say. That's actually fairly difficult to pull off--you have to have a kind of franchise behind it.

I think the show would have had to have been called "Kelsey" in this case. Seems to be a list of shows entitled with the first name of the star of said show, as opposed to first name of character of first show.

brigid_fitch		2010-09-09 08:17:34 AM

No love for "Cosby", the show Bill Cosby & Phylicia Rashad had after "The Cosby Show"? It was nice to see Madeline Kahn on a weekly basis.

ZAZ		2010-09-09 08:18:45 AM

I liked "Bob". Too bad few other people did.

ChrisDe		2010-09-09 08:20:35 AM

And then there's Maude.

PonceAlyosha		2010-09-09 08:21:02 AM

Didn't everyone already call his other show Conan anyway?

revrendjim		2010-09-09 08:25:42 AM

I seem to recall that Oprah did OK.

save russian jews		2010-09-09 08:26:17 AM

Ball of Confusion		2010-09-09 08:28:17 AM

You know who else had a talk show titled with just his name?

David Feeney, is that you?

Very nicely done.

I don't think you guys get the point of the article.

thesharkman		2010-09-09 08:33:16 AM

Kirk had a show? Wow. I wasn't watching my TV at that time so I guess I wasn't missing anything.

Subby is wrong though, some of these shows had a reasonable amount of success.

PonceAlyosha: Didn't everyone already call his other show Conan anyway?

This.

I don't think I ever called it "The Late Show with Conan O'Brien".

It's always been "Conan", just like the other shows are "Leno" and "Letterman".

Balchinian		2010-09-09 08:44:44 AM

Don't forget Rhoda and Alice.

Hey...maybe Conan should spontaneously shout out, "Kiss my grits!"
Maybe that would be funny...well at least funnier than anything else he does.

/No, Leno is not funny either.
//Dave was funny once. A long time ago.

radioman_		2010-09-09 08:47:10 AM

Hey, subs. On your planet how long do TV series last? 75 reverse ecklumps around your binary? Here on earth we consider Roseanne and Geraldo to have been very successful long-lived shows. Martin wasn't too shabby either. Pretty much any show on that list that made it to syndication could be said to have done all right.

I_Am_Weasel		2010-09-09 09:02:34 AM

Too many are missing the point!

LandOfChocolate		2010-09-09 09:11:50 AM

There is no Conan, only Conaw

Vash The Stampede		2010-09-09 09:22:39 AM

Yeah... look at those pathetic short lived shows like

Roseanne = 9 Years
Geraldo = 12 Years
Sally = 19 Years
Oprah = 24 years

Wettner		2010-09-09 09:25:25 AM

They forgot Norm.

Sally = 19 Years (Name was changed.)
~~Oprah Winfrey Show = 24 years~~

Oprah is debatable. It goes by both names. Even the opening credits simply call the show "Oprah" and commercials always say "On the next 'Oprah'"

HowAboutNo		2010-09-09 09:55:27 AM

Apples and Oranges. None of those shows were:

A. Late Night Talk Shows
B. Aired this century
G. As hilarious as Conaw

Yeah you need a long name for a long running show.

I gotta go.

Cheers!

Wher?

Abstruse		2010-09-09 10:11:03 AM

Yeah, they're always short-lived. Like Roseanne, Seinfeld, and Newhart...

Courtney Cox-Zucker		2010-09-09 10:12:24 AM

Some of y'all aren't actually reading the rules of the article: Single name, first name only; name has to be the name of the actual star.

With those rules in mind, the article still forgot Reba, which should fall between Ellen and Martin for longevity.

I wouldn't think more than 24 hours on that.

Martin was good until he started going crazy on Gina.

/Tommy still ain't got no job!

The television version ran for 20 seasons from 1955 to 1975, and still remains the United States' longest-running prime time, live-action drama with 635 episodes
