The family debuted as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After a three-season run, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show called The Simpsons, which debuted on December 17, 1989. The show was an early hit for Fox, becoming the first Fox series to land in the top 30 ratings in a season (1990).
The Simpsons has been renewed for two more seasons running until 2019, Fox Broadcasting said on Friday, meaning it will break the record for most episodes of any scripted television show in U.S. history. The Simpsons is currently in its 28th season, with just over 600 episodes aired. By 2019, it will have outpaced western TV drama Gunsmoke, which concluded after 635 episodes in 1975. Take that 'Gunsmoke!' You lost a race you didn't even know you were running!, Homer Simpson said in a statement from Fox. Since its 1989 premiere, The Simpsons - bumbling patriarch Homer, long-suffering wife Marge, prankster Bart, prodigy Lisa and baby Maggie - have become globally recognized figures.
