LOS ANGELES — One of the longest running shows on television is about to run even longer after Fox reported that it has renewed The Simpsons for two more seasons. <br /> <br />That means Homer and the rest of the fam will be back for an unprecedented 29th and 30th season. <br /> <br />The series will get to 669 episodes, becoming the most for any scripted television show, outgunning the record held by Gunsmoke, which shot 635. In a statement released by Fox Homer said, ‘Take that Gunsmoke! You lost a race you didn’t even know you were running!’ <br /> <br />The Simpsons has managed to rack up 32 Emmys. The show has a ride at Universal Studios and even a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s influence on pop culture has been so great it’s been studied at universities. <br /> <br />With the show averaging 7.2 million viewers across all platforms this season, the decision was a no-brainer for Fox. <br /> <br />“I think our new motto is ‘on to sixty,’” executive producer Al Jean said.
