20 and counting

The Simpsons, TV's longest-running American sitcom, is on tap for at least three more seasons, The New York Post reports.

"The cast is signed for three more years, so I would now say it's about a 90 percent chance we'll come back for at least one of those three," Al Jean, the show's executive producer, said. "I actually think it's better than a 50 percent chance we'll do three more years of this at least."

At the moment, The Simpsons is tied with 20-season-long Gunsmoke, which also ran 20 years, as the longest-running scripted series, drama or comedy, ever.
