I think "I Love Lucy" definitely counts, although you couldn't say it's been on since its October 1951 premiere. That's because it was pre-empted a couple of times and at least after its first (and possibly second) seasons, it went off the air for the summer and gave way to a summer replacement. (In 1952 it was "My Little Margie.") But I'm sure it hasn't stopped running for any length of time since the reruns became a regular staple, first on CBS daytime then in syndication. "The Andy Griffith Show" went into CBS daytime reruns sometime around 1964 and I think its "continuous run dates back to then. Maybe some of our New York friends can speak to this but my understanding is that "The Honeymooners" reruns haven't been off New York City TV since that "classic 39" went into reruns in the 1950s.
