”Fox will stay in business with its animated first family, “The Simpsons,” well after Homer and Marge move over to Disney.
The network has renewed the long-running sitcom for two more seasons — numbers 31 and 32, respectively — which will push the show past the 700-episode mark.”
”The show is already the longest-running scripted series in TV history, surpassing “Gunsmoke” last season. It first debuted in 1989, during George H.W. Bush’s presidency. On Sunday, “The Simpsons” will air its 652nd episode — “I’m Dancing as Fat as I Can” — which features a voice cameo from Netflix’s Ted Sarandos. By the end of the 32nd season, “The Simpsons” will have produced 713 episodes.”
