Sitcom becomes nation's longest-running show

In-Laws, Out-Laws, a sitcom about the lives of residents in South China, has become the Chinese mainland's longest-running television series.

Guangdong TV has aired more than 3,000 episodes of the hit show over the past 16 years, and producers say they have no plans to end its run any time soon.

Ding Lei, who writes the show, said on Wednesday that she hopes they will air another 3,000 episodes and that it regularly beats every other program the TV station broadcasts in terms of audience ratings.
