LOS ANGELES: FOX has renewed The Simpsons for 27th and 28th seasons, reaffirming its place in TV history as the longest-running scripted series.

The new two-season order will take The Simpsons to 625 episodes. The show, which has been airing since 1990, has won 31 Emmy Awards, 31 Annie Awards, a 2015 People's Choice Award, was the first animated series to win a Peabody Award and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for the theatrical short "The Longest Daycare."

"I've outlasted Letterman, Jon Stewart and 'McDreamy,' because I have something they don't: a costly 200-donut-a-day addiction," said Homer Simpson.
