Soap-Operas are great examples, although I'm not familiar with any, which has been the longest running one, how long?
Trek was a great example, although they've fallen back to reboots, and now instead of new legacy, going back to Picard.
Young Anakin(prequel) and Rey, are great starts, although not nearly as long not yet, we'll know it's staying power, when the next gens. moved away from Luke & Leia (who wil no longer be a presence), and just solos the
new Legacy and/or prequel characters.
Bond uses sliding time scale.
Dr. Who has the lead character regenerate through a sliding time-scale.
Right now our more successful and longest running popular franchises, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, use sliding time scale, moving the lead character forward,
not real time.
And most successful comic characters have followed this model. .
