Fox has ordered another 44 episodes (two seasons) of the venerable and award-winning The Simpsons. This is another milestone for The Simpsons, which already holds the record for longest-running animated sit-com and will now hold the record for longest-running primetime show.
Gunsmoke previously held the latter record. However, Gunsmoke ran for 635 episodes; with this additional 44, The Simpsons will still only have 493 under its belt.
January 14th, 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the debut.
