Fox has ordered two more seasons of "The Simpsons" that will make the animated hit the longest-running series in primetime TV history.
The 44-episode pickup will bring the show to a whopping 493 episodes.
"Gunsmoke" has held the record as the longest-running series and was on the air for 20 years (airing on CBS from 1955 to 1975 with 635 episodes). "The Simpsons" and NBC's "Law & Order" have been closing in on the Western classic, with Fox's comedy tying "Gunsmoke" this year and "Order" currently airing its 19th season.
