Personally I would go with the longest running in the World right now because it is the same series. I personally believe Star Trek is a series of spin-offs so they shouldn't really count anyway.

Just like no one should include the two or soon to be three seasons of Atlantis in the SG-1 season counts. Just my opinion.

Same show + same title + same concept = Longest running scifi show in the world.

[The Signal]

Yup, sorry but Doctor Who is the longest running sci-series by a long shot (about 18 seasons) Star Trek is the longest running franchise, and it is soon to loose that if what you say is right (just checked wikipedia, it is) still green for the research though

[creed462]

I think Dr. who will soon overtake StarTrek as a Franchise as well

actually doctor who is on it's 28th season this year and it has already got a 29th commitioned

[Jonzey]

Ah, but weren't earlier Who eps only 25 mins, whereas Star Trek was 45?

You should add the time for each episode up and check that.

What? Too pedantic?

[Missster.Freeman]

Well yeah, they were 25 mins, but the story was serialised into weekly episodes, usually with a cliffhanger at the end of each part. The stories could comprise of three to six parts, and in later years, up to fourteen parts.

I know, but it has 18 seasons more than most series.

It has varied yes, but in terms of time it still has TNG (the Trek with most eps) beaten by 500 episodes.

I was joking and hoping the last line would give it away, but whatever.

*shrugs* just making a point.

[Metarock Sam]

I dont see the fuss since Doctor Who was created before Star Trek in fact some of Star Treks most basic principles are derived from Doctor Who.
For examle the Transporter that was originally in Doctor Who named the Transmat Beam (or T-Mat in The Seeds of Death).

How much has star trek got from DW.
Borg= cybermen ripoff
In enterprise they found a ship that was bigger on the inside then the out

[BC - 303]

TARDIS "dimensionally transcendental" rip off!
Must resist distroying trek.
a well, SG1 has long over taken all the seperate Treks.
No one will even remember trek in a few millenium's

[creed462]

DW also had a few spinoffs
