I removed the bit that said Married with Children is the most successful sitcom ever, because it needs to be qualified with in what way (financial? artistic?). The below doesn't quite seem right to me either. I thought Seinfeld or Cheers were the longest sitcoms, and I'd like a source on the syndication bit (though I didn't remove this sentence). Tuf-Kat


 * it is the longest running American sitcom of all time and has more syndication deals around the world than any show in history.
 * Seinfeld ran from 1990-1998; Cheers from 1983 to 1993, losing to MWC by slightly less than a month. As for the syndication reference, I'm afraid I can't quote a source for you other than to say that to obsessive TV trivia buffs it is somewhat well-known. :D
 * Well, then I guess I'll let it stand and sooner or later another obsessive TV trivia buff will come along and either confirm with a source or dispell the urban legend with a source and everything will be positively gravy. Tuf-Kat
 * Did Friends do better or worse than MWC? –Matt 10:20, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * Didn't "Happy Days" run 11 seasons (1974-1985)? -- 67.28.51.130 23:13 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)
 * "Happy Days" ran from 1974 to 1984, losing in length to "Married...with Children" by almost 4 whole months.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet is the longest-running sitcom of all time, soon to be passed by The Simpsons. -- Zoe

"Personal life" Section; Lesbian
The Personal life section currently mentions: "She has been publicly out as a lesbian since 1993." Here's some additional information. Bearse came out publicly - that is, acknowledged that she is a lesbian - in the 21 September 1993 issue of The Advocate. In the interview in question, part of what she said was: "The outing really was quite a freeing experience. I know that sounds sort of clichéd, but it really was very liberating. For a lot of people, it was just a confirmation of what they thought about me. I mean, I look like the girl next door, but I was always kind of off-center. You can't type what a lesbian is. We're anything and everything. The one thing in common is that we make love to other women. So give up trying to limit us. I don't have any shame around being homosexual, and it doesn't affect the way I do my job. There's been an enormous positive response from the gay community. I think the more commonplace we can make people being honest about their sexuality, the better off it will be for human rights and civil rights for everyone."
