Ay Caramba! 'The Simpsons' to break record as longest-running U.S. show

The Simpsons have travelled the world, saved Springfield from annihilation and even stepped into virtual reality, but the beloved animated family is entering new ground as it heads towards a record-breaking 30th season. "The Simpsons" has been renewed for two more seasons running until 2019, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc's Fox Broadcasting said on Friday, meaning it will break the record for most episodes of any scripted television show in U.S. history. "The Simpsons" is currently in its 28th season, with just over 600 episodes aired.
