I think the first gundam series ever was called "Mobile Suit Gundam".

It's not a continuous series. They're different stories and gundams.
They all have the basic conception on Gundams, thats why they're called Gundams.

Gundams has had a very successful variety of shows. Each series had its ups and downs and its overall was very good.
As you can see from the variety of different gundams, the show didn't get boring after this many seasons. They usually have something new so viewers don't get bored of the same old characters and Mobile Suits.
