Gundam SEED (SEED + Destiny + Freedom) just barely made the cut.
I'm not counting Saiki K because each episode was really short IIRC.
I usually don't watch long-running anime because the plot tend to drag on unnecessarily - probably because their creators are trying to milk them for their worth.
I would just drop them out of boredom and frustration with the lack of progress in plot. In fact, I feel that the Gundam SEED series could have been shorter.
I'd say Gintama has a shot at taking over as my longest-running watched series though.
That's where I'm at right now. My spouse and I started watching on a whim and it wasn't long before we were hooked. Blazed through the first two(?) seasons and then somewhere after episode 100 things just started dragging. I forget exactly where we're at right now because we only watch an episode every so often lately. Could be just us getting burned out, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
