I have noticed that hundreds of long-running scripted series have both premiered and ended their original runs during the 26-year-long original run of The Simpsons (1989-mid to late 2010s). Around twenty of these series (including Beverly Hills 90210 (1990-2000), That '70s Show (1998-2006), House M.D. (2004-2012), and even King of the Hill (1997-2009)) have aired on the FOX Network alone.

Any other shows (they can be from any network) that premiered and ended during the original run of The Simpsons?

^^Actually, Family Matters debuted before The Simpsons, in the fall of 1989.

These shows...

Big Bang Theory
Two and a Half Men
Rules of Engagement
How I Met Your Mother

I dislike these shows...but with The Simpsons STILL going like the damn Energizer Bunny...there'll probably be Simpsons episodes released even after the apocolypse!

There is no way that Big Bang Theory is ending before Simpsons ends, though. 12+ Seasons for TBBT. Make that show look strong, and that'll be like the Energizer Bunny, also. 'Cause it is the most powerful force going in network television today. :lol:

All joking aside, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, and How I Met Your Mother did come and go under The Simpsons tenure.
