Associated Press: “The Simpsons” will keep the satire coming for at least two more seasons. Fox said it has renewed the animated series for its 27th and 28th seasons, which will carry it to a total of 625 episodes. The tale of Springfield and the Simpson family is TV’s longest-running scripted nighttime series. The award-winning comedy has proved a money machine, spawning merchandise, a big-screen movie, video games and a Universal Studios Ride.
