Which TV characters have appeared in the most episodes?

All the over-400s I can think of, listed by # of episodes...who am I forgetting?

[I only looked at live action characters for time's sake, but feel free to list animated ones as well]

635 - Marshall Matt Dillon (in Gunsmoke, played by James Arness)
604 - Doc (in Gunsmoke, played by Milburn Stone)
568 - Kitty (in Gunsmoke, played by Amanda Blake)
489 - Lassie (in Lassie (original and remake) and The New Lassie...played by countless doggies I am sure)
468 - Sherlock Holmes (by my count) in too many shows (and played by too many actors/actresses) to name
457 - Detective John Munch (in Homicide: Life on the Street, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Law and Order, The X Files, Arrested Development, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Always played by Richard Belzer)
449 - Ben Cartwright (in Bonanza and Ponderosa, played by Lorne Greene and Daniel Hugh Kelly)
446 - Little Joe Cartwright (in Bonanza and Ponderosa, played by Michael Landon and Jared Daperis)
437 - Steve McGarett (in Hawaii 5-0, original and remake. Played by Jack Lord and Alex O'Loughlin)
434 - Hoss Cartwright (in Bonanza and Ponderosa, played by Dan Blocker and Drew Powell)
416 - Danny Williams (in Hawaii 5-0, original and remake. Played by James McArthur and Scott Caan)
408 - Olivia Benson (in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Law and Order, Law and Order: Trial by Jury, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D.. Always played by Mariska Hargitay)
(Chin Ho Kelly just misses the mark at 399, but the new 5-0 series only continues to be renewed for more seasons)

Re: Which TV characters have appeared in the most episodes?

This is interesting, though a bigger challenge would be TV Character who appeared in the most series? Some characters appeared in several series.

The surprise winner - in 10 different series - Richard Belzer is the King of the Crossovers. The former stand-up comic originated the Detective John Munch role in 1993 on NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street, which was set in Baltimore. In 1999, Homicide had a crossover with Law & Order, paying the way for Belzer to join the cast of Law & Order: Special Victims when it premiered in the fall of that year. Eventually, Belzer portrayed Munch on 10 different shows across five networks: Homicide (NBC), Law & Order (NBC), Law & Order: SVU (NBC), Law & Order: Trial by Jury (NBC), Arrested Development (Fox), The X-Files (Fox), The Beat (UPN), The Wire (HBO), 30 Rock (NBC) and Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC).

Re: Which TV characters have appeared in the most episodes?

The TV character who appeared in the most series is likely either Sherlock Holmes (lost count, but at least 50) or maybe Dracula. But Detective Munch would still hold the record if you only counted it when the role was played by the same actor (or excluded literary characters).

Homicide: Life on the Street was one of my favorite '90s shows (and if you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend you check it out), so I'm always pleased and amused to see Detective Munch appear in other series. His appearance in a tongue-in-cheek episode of The X Files was particularly memorable.
