There are longer series. Terrance Dicks novelized an extraordinary
number of _Doctor Who_ television episodes. This does include stories >>about the third Doctor stranded on twentieth century Earth, so those may >>not count. Some of that seems to be made in the 1970s and set in the
1980s

This seemed to be a thing with some UK SF shows of the 70s, as Gerry Anderson's UFO was also set 10 years after the actual broadcast date.

And of course, the Andersons' follow-up: Space:1999.

Hokey premise, hokey episodes, but great special effects. It was a
family event to watch it every week. Ran 1975-1977, two seasons.

My favorite episode is the one that scared the bejasus out of me as
a kid: "Dragon's Domain".
