Yeah - Spider-Man comes to mind. He's had half a dozen different cartoons (and two live action shows almost simultaneously in the US and Japan in 1978), starting from the 1960s. But he hasn't been on air continuously for 50 years.
but Dr Who has /will have 7/8 more seasons in 2017 than Simpsons as Dr Who will be on season 36 but will has been renewed up to season 30.

Based on a comic strip. Multiple versions made by different companies. Multiple continuities. Live action versions on film and TV running alongside the animated versions. It seems bizarre that dave_windows thinks TMNT has any claim to be the longest running animated series when his own criteria would give a much greater claim to Spider-Man, Batman, Superman and many other titles. Hell, if we include puppetry as a form of animation, Bell & Ben and Andy Pandy both had series spread over 53 years. |

The Simpsons have beat Dr Who foe been on continuously by 2 years this season
but Dr Who has /will have 7/8 more seasons in 2017 than Simpsons as Dr Who will be on season 36 but will has been renewed up to season 30.For Doctor Who, it is 26 seasons + 1 T.V. Movie + 9 (thus far) series = 36. For The Simpsons, it is a simple 28 seasons = 28. That is one of the reasons that The Simpsons is behind on the episode count. (The other one is the 40+ episodes a season during the 1960's). However, at the current rate of only a single Doctor Who series every other year, should The Simpsons continue at the current pace, it could catch up with them on seasons around the same time that it catches up with them on episodes.
