Which TV series have produced over 1000 episodes, for which all the episodes still exist?
Note the second part of that sentence, since it rules out shows like "Guiding Light" and "Search for Tomorrow", as many episodes of them are lost.
Some series I know of which produced over 1000 episodes, for which all the episodes still exist (number of episodes taken from Wikipedia):
"Days of Our Lives" - 13,159 episodes
"Match Game 7x" - 1,455 episodes
"Coronation Street" - 9,238 episodes
"Tattletales" - 1,075 episodes
The 1968-1975 syndicated version of "What's My Line?" - 1,320
"EastEnders" - 5,552 episodes
"Emmerdale" - 7,919 episodes
"Hollyoaks" - 4,720 episodes
"River City" - 1024 episodes
"Casualty" - 1,051 episodes
"Doctors" (2000 TV series) - 3,383 episodes
"Neighbours" - 7,675 episodes
"The Bold and the Beautiful" - Over 7000
"Capitol" - 1,293
"Loving" - 3,169
"Santa Barbara" - 2,137
"Passions" - 2,331
"Port Charles" - 1,537
"Late Show with David Letterman" - 4,263 episodes
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" - 4,610 episodes
Can you people name some others?
One thing I'd like to note: most soap operas and game shows from the 1980s onwards survive intact, which may help. (there are some exceptions: for example, "Wheel of Fortune" had its mastertapes wiped into 1985).
