With the anime spanning 35 years, it currently has over 1700 airings and 5400 episodes (less specials, this anime is a 30 minute program with three episodes each). And of course, this would not be possible without its millions of viewers as it attained the immovable spot of being a national icon.

I'm actually quite curious what Sazae-san anime like, but that is a dreadful number of episodes for someone that never seen it at all. >_<
There got to be a reason why a show can last that long and I'm very interested in seeing it. ^^
