On April 29, 2018, The Simpsons became the longest-running scripted program on primetime television beating out Gunsmoke. You would think that Fox would say this is a good time to end the show. Then you thought wrong. That is because they picked up the animated family sitcom for two more seasons. That brings their total to 32 seasons with 713 episodes…and counting.
I say…and counting because you know Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are not going anywhere anytime soon. They will outlive us all! They are like cockroaches during a nuclear war and that is a good thing. Not roaches (we need to make them extinct already), but The Simpsons will continue to bring joy for many generations to come. Unless there is a nuclear war, then the only ones who will enjoy them will be roaches.
