Aye Caramba! The Simpson's has been picked up for another two years.  This announcement came out yesterday bringing the total number of seasons for the crew to 28 making it the longest running American sitcom.

From humble beginnings as shorts on the Tracy Ulman show back in the late 80's the show ran three seasons there and then was produced into a half hour prime time show and was one of FOX networks first true success stories. Over the years the Simpsons has received many awards, been named Time Magazines best TV series on the 20th century and they even have their own star on the Hollywood walk of Fame.

In a statement released yesterday by the network on the new contract, allegedly the star Homer Simpson was bragging he had outlasted Letterman, Jon Stewart and McDreamy because he has something they don't...a costly 200 donut a day addiction. So to celebrate I found us a best of episodes reel.
