Which of these TV series had the most episodes?
The famous soap opera lasted for 5 years. The total of the episodes is 514 – that was a record for a soap opera as well as the fact that the series was the first one of the kind to be broadcasted during the prime time. Moreover, the TV series was a kind of springboard for many famous American actors to start their film career.

The "Andy Griffith Show" was on for 8 years, once a week. So "Peyton Place" must've been on TWICE a week to have had that many more episodes 🤔

How about addressing the name of the "famous soap opera" in the explanation of the correct answer. Nowhere in the explanation is "Peyton Place" mentioned; only that it is a soap opera. The explanation is incomplete.

Marianne Frederick Halterman, You are watching reruns of the Andy Griffin show, but Peyton place had 514 episodes; the longest of any shows!

Lawanta , soaps are on five days a week
Marianne Frederick Halterman
Well, Andy Griffith is still running and Peyton Place died a long time ago... someone needs to FACT CHECK these questions!

I just picked the Andy Griffith show because I liked it so much. Don Knox was a comic genius. I laugh out loud just thinking about him digging out his one bullet he was allowed to carry. Such a great and funny show.

Char, I forgot that it was on a couple times a week and chose Andy Griffith. I used to watch PP with my mother when I was about 13-14 till I lost interest. Barbara Parkins, Mia Farrow and Ryan O'Neal were the stars.

23,000 + views and the majority steered me wrong.

poorly worded question nowhere did it say soap opera it just asked for tv series
Char
Linda Wanta, I looked it up it was Tues and Thursday nights. I knew I remembered Allison Mackenzie aka Mia Farrow on it.. The adults watched it I was 12 but not really into it...I came back after I was all done tonight to tell you.
Char
Linda Wanta, it's so long ago and I was so young but I thought it was once a week..I must be wrong
Char
Guess I was thinking about Andy reruns too ..I was young when Peyton place was on I remember it but not much more than that

Authors explanation was rather short on facts, like the name, period shown, number of days per week, notable cast.

Not sure about the record. Santa Barbara lasted 9 seasons, 2137 episodes.
