The longest series

And no, it's not all Santa Barbara.Yes this Santa Barbara only some 2137 series.

Another thing - "Guiding Light» («Guiding light»), caught in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest soap opera in the history of television.Guiding Light went into the television broadcast from 1952 to 2009 and before that 20 years on the radio.Total 15762 series was filmed with a total duration of 164 days 4 hours 30 minutes.

In his example, we can already study the history of the cinema, when there was a color picture, when the stereo, when they began to be recorded on video tape ...

original series creator, Irna Phillips, died in 1973.By the way, many consider her mom soap operas America.Apart from "Guiding Light" among its creations, which continue to show on American TV - "As long as the world turns" (13367 series) and "Days of Our Lives" (10939 series).

If you spill "Guiding Light" on your life exactly once a day, it would take over 40 years to assess the full force of museum exhibits.However, exactly how much time is needed to view the entire series, it will not turn.

Firstly, since 1937, "Guiding Light" comes on the radio, and only since 1952 - on the television.Therefore it is possible to cheat and not to listen to radio versions (and it is unlikely someone will be able to find it now).

Secondly, in the first thirty seasons series lasts only 15 minutes - so much lasted an average soap opera series to the 60s.Next time gradually increased, and by 1977 a series of "Guiding Light" consisted of 60 minutes.

Finally, many of the episodes just ... can not find.The company «Procter & amp; Gamble», letting out the show (yes, the Giants attracted giants), until the seventies just copied episodes on the same film, thinking that in the future will not need recording.

So in comparison with globally protracted "ER" with the 311 series, and even the notorious "Santa Barbara", which is 7 times shorter than the "guiding light", seem to be just shorts.Compete with him can perhaps that is the old British TV series "Coronation Street", although he has just 6927 series.The Russian audience did more than 400 episodes of domestic producers have not seen.And this is good.
