Eastenders
That's a baby compared to Guiding Light in the US which ran to over 15,000 episodes. |

You're comparing apples with pears though jonny. There's over 200m people to support the channels, along with equivalent advertising revenues from massive companies, higher viewing figures and a lack of brains.
Americans, i suspect, are far more tolerant of lengthy shows and absolute tripe like the price is right. I'm glad our television companies don't milk a show for all it's worth. It allows for more original programming, however shit it may in fact possibly be, along with something fresh.
Besides, don't forget that the money behind these big shows isn't big American tv channels, but big film production companies, who then sell on to all and sundry, including us.
