Probably missing some.

Out of those I like KOTH, MLP, Ducktales, and that's it

>There is more Doug than Phineas and Ferb
huh

there's tons of show in the 100 episodes, that's 4 seasons, many noname shit in the 80's and 90's got that.

>the smurfs
>256
>in the 80's there was only like 12 albums
how Jesus fucking christ, this must be a wild ride of trope trope trope and lazy reused plots.

Gumball also reached 100 recently.

I thought Animaniacs would be on that list, but they made only 99 episodes.

>half hours

>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: 169
Man, I remember the days when every brony thought that it would end at 65 episodes after season 3.

Yeah.
Gumball had its 200th episode.

There's 200 episodes, which is 100 half hours, I know what I meant.

That is correct. Each season has 20 halfhours (except 1, which has 18), and its on its 6th season now.

Transformers: Rescue Bots

what is the show about these days? did they all get unicorn and wings and slepnir powers now? twillight was already falling into goku syndrome by season 3

No one else has become an alicorn. But there is another pony who is recurring now.

There were alot more plots where Smurfette got to do stuff (Peyo apparently hated her, mostly using her as a character to stand around and not get the joke/understand Smurf culture) Johann and Pewitt had a bunch of adventures with them, the Smurflings, and they created these warty frog like monsters and fairies who had a number of plots as well.

That's just off the top of my head and I'm not even getting into the bullshit time travel season where even Paul Winhcell went "This is stupid, I quit."

>Family Guy: 300 (1999 - Present)

How?

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has 130.

Purple Smart has her own student now, who is the new main character of the show.

There were actually more episodes of Doug made for Disney than there were for Nickelodeon.

111 isn't right for Phineas and Ferb though since there weren't 222 quarter hour episodes but a mix of quarter, half, and hour long specials. I can't remember the exact number, but it's more like 140-150.

short answer is Family Guy generates longer seasons than South Park.

Fox hasn't been able to develop another lasting show for Sundays since 2002 or so. Comedy Central is in worse shape.

At didn't deserve to run longer than RS

And that time travel season was never resolved.
>tfw the original Smurfs cartoon never got a proper ending

Wait, I thought that one had a final episode...

>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 193 (1987 - 1996)
2003 had over 150 too.

They introduced Grandpa Smurf and Granny Smurf or whatever their names were.

Wow, if it did I'm just being told now because I don't remember ever seeing it.

>They introduced Grandpa Smurf
it was in a movie, right?

I don't recall exactly, I think it was some multiple parts episode where they revealed the secret to the Smurfs long lifespan.

South Park has shorter seasons. If family guy had seasons between 2003-2004, would be even higher.

Was it a serialized series? I never watched it.

Nope. But the last season did almost vindicate my grandpa and grandma smurf are future versions of papa smurf and smurfette

More or less, the format had some changes as seasons went by.

The two parter "Smurfquest" at the beginning of the 6th season the smurflings and Sassette had been around for a while by then.

An hour is an hour. You cant say its only half.

Well, user "Y" Mous, hear me out. An hour actually has three parts to it: the top of the hour, the middle of the hour, and the bottom of the hour. And together this makes up one complete hour.

Now, it's usually the top of the hour that's useful because that's the only part that gets viewers to watch. However, sometimes it's sufficient to use the middle of the hour which is full of most of the action. As for the bottom of the hour, there are no cases where that's useful or important. Don't worry about that part.

Wonderful

Not cartoon needs to last longer than 100 half-hour episodes. Cancel that shit immediately if it reaches that. It's just wasting airtime.

>There were actually more episodes of Doug made for Disney than there were for Nickelodeon
I’ve only ever seen the Nick version, was it significantly different in anyway? I don’t remember really liking it very much, but I was like 10 the last time I saw an episode.
