"The Price Is Right" (44 seasons)

"The Price Is Right" hasn't changed much since 1972. The song and the title cards are basically the same. (However, the prices have been adjusted for inflation.) But even diehard fans forget that the show first aired in 1956, live and in ... moreblack-and-white. How long ago was that? Bob Barker was only 33, and he would host "Truth or Consequences" for 16 years before even starting to host "The Price Is Right."
