Roots: Hallmark Hall of Fame is very long-running but doubtful as being a "series" for most of that time. Only from 1951 to 1955 did it air on a regular weekly schedule; after that only two to six films were produced per year. As the show did not air on a regular schedule nor have continuing characters or cast, IMDb lists most of the Hallmark Hall of Fame movies as separate TV movies. (See https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0078555 for many of them.)
