When you said limit, he took it as "up to 14 years" not a "minimum of 14 years".

[CakeCup]

I'm sure The Simpsons is going to last another 5 years or so.
Surprising to see Arthur at #2....

 

[BooBooKeys]

Not surprised at Arthur.

9.Space Ghost Coast to Coast - 14 years 1 months
(April 15, 1994 – May 31, 2008)

...Only if you count gaps. 2 years between the move from [as] to GameTap, and a very messy schedule after the sixth, according to this. Literally almost a year between the first and second episodes of the last ([as], anyway) season.
