Prepare for more Homer as Fox renews ‘The Simpsons’ for its 23rd season
Fox has renewed “The Simpsons” for next season, the show’s 23rd.
That means the longest-running comedy in television history will have a whopping 515 episodes in the can when the 2011-2012 season is over.
“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,” Al Jean, executive producer, said in a statement.
Since launching on Jan. 14, 1990, “The Simpsons” has become a staple for Fox and a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon.
Reruns now air around the country. The series spawned a big-screen movie, a Universal Studios ride and a seemingly endless supply of licensed products.
