The Simpsons will live on for another two seasons—you heard right two seasons a 29th and 30ths. The show, which debuted in 1990 on the Tracey Ullman Show, is making history! It will be the long-running animated series to 669 episodes, the largest number of episodes for any scripted television show ever, breaking the record previously set by “Gunsmoke” (635).
“Take that ‘Gunsmoke!’ You lost a race you didn’t even know you were running!,” said Homer Simpson.
I still tune into the reruns a few times a week—I grew upon the show and still love it! And I do watch new episodes when I can.
THE SIMPSONS has won 32 Emmy Awards, 34 Annie Awards, a 2016 People’s Choice Award and a 2016 Environmental Media Award. It was the first animated series to win a Peabody Award and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for the theatrical short “The Longest Daycare.” The Simpsons Movie was a hit feature film, the mega-attraction The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios has received historic expansion updates with the addition of “Springfield” and the show was honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2000. It has been named the “Best Show of the 20th Century” by Time magazine, and called the “Best TV Show Ever” by Vulture in 2016.
