Fox Renews 'Simpsons' Through 2005 "Fox has greenlit two more seasons of animated powerhouse The Simpsons. The Simpsons renewal through May 2005 means the show will make it through a jaw-dropping 16th full season and roughly 360 episodes, allowing Homer and Co. to edge past The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet to claim the mantle of longest-running laffer in TV history."
