The Simpsons are about to make history. They just picked up a two-year renewal which will make The Simpsons the longest running series in primetime. Ever.
What show holds the record as of today? Do you know? Hint: it was on-air for twenty years.
Answer after the jump.
Gunsmoke!
Does Tracy Allman get a piece of the pie?
Tracy Ullman def deserves it, her show gave birth to the little yellow people.
No, sadly no she doesn’t. She and her executives rightfully pitched a biotch! and lost, in court!
oh, i thought it was going to be “Seventh Heaven”, but I guess that only felt like twenty years.
HAHA. GOD I hated that show.
Hahahahahahaha
Haha, that’s funny
Gunsmoke? Seriously? I would have thought it was like The Young and the Restless or one of those other soap operas.
Prime Time record, Assie. TYATR is a daytime show.
they should have run out of ideas in the 13th season when they said ‘we’re not out of ideas!
The Simpsons isn’t funny. I don’t understand.
The Simpsons isn’t funny. I don’t understand this.
God, two more years? End it already. That show has sucked for the last ten years.
I never caught on either. I never liked it, But then again, I don’t know one male who doesn’t not like it.
Anyone? Any dudes who do NOT like it to set me straight?
It was likable! but it lost its edge. Time Magazine named Homer Simpson the second most lovable cartoon character of the 21 century. I could see that! Who was the first…? answer after the Jump!
Hasn’t been relevant or funny in a long time; get the record then go please.
How could they possibly come up with another 2 years worth of material? The writers have done every possible angle! Unless the kids finally grow up?!
scientology rules hollywood…so much for the zionist conspiracy.
It may be old and tired, but at its WORST The Simpsons is still better than Two and A Half Men.
AGREED!
Well damn… I can’t even argue anything now after reading that. Because you are absolutely fucking right. Bring on 2 more years of America’s favorite family!
When it came on, I was closer in age to the kids. Now I’m almost Marge’s age.
Yes, it’s gone downhill over the last few years and there’s been some episodes where I’ve just stopped watching it but I really don’t know what else to do with myself on Sunday nights. It’s like when I’m home during the day. Come 2:00, I still feel the urge to watch Another World.
LMAO! Another World…I remember that!
I HATE cartoons. If I want to see immature male entertainment I can just come here and read Donkey Punch’s demented musings.
I can’t tell if you two hate each other, or are madly in love
I love the Simpsons and Two and a Half Men.
same here =]
What the hell is Gunsmoke?
I have to agree that it’s been a long time since The Simpsons was relevant or new, but I still enjoy it. I’m curious why so many commentors here label it “male” entertainment. What would qualify as “female” entertainment? I’m a chick, and I dig animation and ridiculous, silly humor, as well as more cerebral fare.
maggie’s face, below the eyes and nose, looks a lot like a cock and balls
ok, 10-15 years ago the show was pretty funny. I haven;’t watched it lately, but I’m sure they are going to run out of ideas soon.
THE ANSWER IS (TA DA’) Bugs Bunny. I do this kinda stuff to him all through the picture!
