The producer in charge of "The Simpsons" predicts at least three more seasons for the storied animated series on Fox.

"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," said Al Jean, "Simpsons" executive producer.

"I actually think it's better than a 50 percent chance we'll do three more years of this at least," Jean told The Post.

Now in its 20th season, "The Simpsons" is the longest-running comedy series in US prime-time history. It is now tied with "Gunsmoke," which also ran 20 years, as the longest-running scripted series, drama or comedy, ever. - Adam Buckman

No. Both The Simpsons and Law & Order will still be on the air five years after we've all destroyed each other in a nuclear explosion.
