Yes.
Swap Shop (BTW, what ever happened to the host of that show - you know - the guy with a beard that spent his time on the show talking on a phone?)
Saturday Superstore, and Going Live all ran for 6 series. Live And Kicking was streched to 8, and rather spookly the last two series were awful.

Saturday Show was on for 3 series, as has Dick 'n' Dom on BBC One. For Summer Saturday shows as far as I remember all the various incarnations have only survived 1 or 2 sips from that poisioned chalice. Fully Booked or Paralell 9 may have hit the mythical 4th run, but I'm not sure on that.

Doubt P9 made it to 4 series, the "proper" weird version with the guy with the big eyebrows only lasted a series, the revamped version that actually looked like saturday morning TV (but was rubbish) couldn't have lasted more than two years. Surely?

Personally I think it was about halfway through the run of Motormouth that ITV Saturday mornings went bad, but maybe it is just an age thing.

Parallel 9 ran 1992-4. Fully Booked ran 1995-1999 (or 2000 if you count "FBi" that was different in every way apart from one of the presenters and the "FB" in the title!)

The Saturday Show actally ran for four "series" (continuously 2001-3 with a revamp in 2002, and then in the summers of 2004 and 2005). Not bothered with seeing the back of it to be honest - IMHO it was pretty poor stuff the last two summer compared to Dick and Dom.

Didn't see the Mighty Truck Of Stuff on it's CBBC run but doesn't seem to be too bad. The big question is what will replace Dick and Dom in the autumn as I don't think the beeb have any idea at the moment.

Besides, Fully Booked spent a lot of its life on Sundays, as I recall.

Yep and sometimes IIRC we had L&K on the Saturday and FB on the Sunday

From now through the Summer, yes. There are rumours that Sam & Mark will team up with Fearne Cotton again for a new Saturday morning show building on their success with TOTP Reloaded, however how true this is I don't know.

Didn't TISWAS last for about 8 or 9 years.

Also If I remember didn't No73/7T3 last for about 7 or 8 years

Tiswas did indeed last eight years from 1974 - 1982.

No73 ran for six years from 1982 to 1988.
