Background

Since its debut on December 17, 1989, the show has broadcast 486 episodes and the twenty-third season will start airing on September 25, 2011. The Simpsons is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program, and in 2009 it surpassed Gunsmoke as the longest-running American primetime, scripted television series.

The Simpsons has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series, including 27 Primetime Emmy Awards, 27 Annie Awards and a Peabody Award. Time magazine's December 31, 1999 issue named it the 20th century's best television series, and on January 14, 2000 the Simpson family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Homer's exclamatory catchphrase "D'oh!" has been adopted into the English language, while The Simpsons has influenced many adult-oriented animated sitcoms.

Homer won't have to leave home after all, as "The Simpsons" and Fox agreed Friday to extend the animated series' run into a 24th and 25th season, the network said in a press release.

Fans of The Simpsons can grab a doughnut and break out the Duff Beer because the venerable cartoon series is set to run for at least two more seasons after settlement of a bitter pay dispute.
Its network, 20th Century Fox TV, announced that a last-minute deal had been struck with the show's voice cast who would now proceed with production of its 24th and 25th seasons, making it the longest-running comedy series in US television history.

The actors who provide the voices for the long-running cartoon hit are at odds over a new contract with 20th Century Fox Television, which seeks to dramatically cut their mid-six-figure salaries as the show's ratings have tumbled.
