"THE SIMPSONS"

FOX says it’s renewing “The Simpsons” for another two seasons, which will secure its place as TVs longest-running prime-time series.

It is now in its 20th season. “The Simpsons” already had tied record-holder “Gunsmoke.” The Western drama series aired for two decades on CBS before it ended in 1975.

The two-year, 44-episode pickup announced Thursday by Fox will bring the total number of “Simpsons” episodes to 493.

The animated comedy has received a Peabody and 24 Emmys among other awards.
