Yes, Morse was on for a few years before they brought out Endeavour.

Endeavour ran for 9 seasons starting in 2012 and Morse ran for 8 seasons
starting in 1987 but they only made 3 or 4 episodes a year, not like most
series do these days..

Yes, some seem to not last long other than some odd shows like
Coronation Street, which has been running for 56 years and
Eastenders for 31 years..     (Dr Who for 53 years)  B)

Actually a few others I watch have been running longer than I realized.

Heartbeat - 18 years
Midsomer Murders - 19 years
Poirot (French detective, set in the late 1930's) - 24 years
