Okay, you should watch that video before you read this post! Here are the results:
The Jetsons got in 6th place. Scooby-Doo Where Are You got in 5th place. Charlie Brown got in 4th place. Looney Tunes got in 3rd place. The Simpsons got in 2nd place. The Flinstons got in 1st place. And there were 4 other popular shows that got in 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place, but it didn't say what those were.

She really should have specified when she said "The Simpsons is the longest running cartoon in television history, 22 years and still going strong." It might be the longest running animated SHOW, but HELLO, Scooby-Doo, franchise, 43 years, it's still going strong!

They have been running the show for 22 consecutive years as all one series. Scooby may have been a franchise for 43 years, but the series are separate. So technically, they are right. I do agree that Scooby should get some credit as they have been continually making new series over the past 43 years and the franchise itself hasn't died out.

Simpsons has actually been running for 24 years next Sunday, not 22.

I know, but what I'm saying is I think she should have said that the Simpsons is the longest running animated show or "consecutive series", something of that nature. She said "cartoon", not "show". Even though Scooby is a franchise, and not just one show, it has been a "cartoon" for 43 years. It's been running for 43 years as a franchise.
