No, I'm dead serious.

There has been 1900 episodes of Sazae-san cartoon, as of March 2007. That's right... 1900 Episodes. Insane, isn't it?
No cartoon in any country in the world comes even close... not even in the same DIGITS of episodes made.
(The Simpsons is 400 episodes total)

It's a sit-com family cartoon series based on a manga series of the same name, and has been running since 1969.
The character never freakin age. Even if each episode was a day, the youngest little boy would be through college... but time doesn't pass.
Every single episode is about absolutely nothing. Every day stuff, that's barely humorous at all.
If you watch any episode of Sazae-san, you've watched it all.

Nightengale is right when he says all Japanese knows the show.
Even if there's concievably a Japanese somewhere that somehow doesn't know the name of their prime minister, or what year the current year is, he/she will know what Sazae-san is.
