The Simpsons will cross the 500 episode mark with a 23rd season at Fox, which will bring the number of episodes of the animated series to 515. “Like many 22-year-olds, The Simpsons is extremely happy remaining at home, on Fox, and hopes it doesn't have to go out into the real world for many years to come,” said The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean. In addition to running for 22 years, The Simpsons also spawned an animated feature, which will have its broadcast premiere on Fox on Thanksgiving night.

They're right...they'll NEVER Stop The Simpsons!

...that once the 25th season is over, that will be it for the weekly series. Perhaps a few specials (along the lines of "Peanuts") will follow, but all good things eventually come to an end. Perhaps I'm wrong...

Let this be a lesson for all would TV show creators if you want your show to last 23 years it must be on the Sunday pre 9:00 prime time slot.

Ah yes, as Troy McClure put it:

"until it becomes unprofitable"

So FBC renews the Simpsons for a 23rd season. Renew it for two more seasons and that will be it. No season 26.
