Back on April 19, 1987 when The Simpsons made there debut as a skit on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox, I am sure that not one single person there thought that it would not only turn into a show, but it would still be on the air today? I am sure Fox never thought it, even though they announced today they just picked up the longest running comedy for a 23rd season bringing their total episodes to an amazing 515 episodes. Here is what EP Al Jean had to say about the great news, “Like many 22-year-olds, THE SIMPSONS is extremely happy remaining at home, on FOX, and hopes it doesn’t have to go out into the real world for many years to come.†For some reason and the rate it is going, I think the show will be on the air until it reaches the year that Futurama is set in!!!
