FOX has renewed “The Simpsons” for two more years, ensuring that it will become the longest-running prime-time series in TV history. This season, the show’s 20th, tied the record held by “Gunsmoke” since that POS Western went off the air in 1975.
As a TV blogger, I’m required to talk about how “The Simpsons” isn’t as good as it used to be, I miss the glory days of Seasons 3 through 9, blah blah blah. Whatever, I think it’s cool that FOX is keeping it alive, if only to break the record. “The Simpsons” shaped an entire generation’s sense of humor, the least we can do is not bitch about it failing to live up to its own standard while it goes down in TV history.
Of course, all of this will be moot as soon as “The Simpsons” finally ends. “Law & Order” is in its 19th season and that thing’s never gonna go off the air. That show doesn’t even have producers or directors any more; it’s a living, self-aware organism. The cast just automatically mutates and regenerates every couple of years.

If only Law & Order were aware that it sucks.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
Eh, it is kinda shitty. I don’t need a liberal civics lesson with my entertainment, thanks very much.
Law & Order is the smoke monster?
is is better than “Christmas Ape” and “Christmas Ape” goes to summer camp.
Also two independent thought alarms in one day, the students are over stimulated. Hot thtuff comin thru. Freshen your drink govnah? Could you send me a jar of love?
And seriously, to all those who say The Simpsons “sucks” now…eat a bag of unsalted scrota. The worst Simpsons episode ever (maybe, I dunno, something Lisa-centric?) is still better than anything else on TV. I mean, if anything, WE OWE THEM!
if only there were a “Law & Order: beating a dead horse unit.”
this horse has been beaten to death…..go on.
For those that complain about how much Simpsons suck? Wow; how long has YOUR show been on the air? Oh, wait; you DON’T have a show?
Nothing to see here, move along….
Law and Order: Iran
Law Guy: Did you or didnt you look at that ankle?
Bad guy: No I swear I thought I saw a dirty Jew by her foot and was just making sure it wasnt.
Law Guy: Okay I believe you. I will only have your mother raped by your sister who will be wearing a donkey dildo strap on.
Well, of course this blog can’t be too critical of the television show which “Warming Glow” is quoted from.
The Simpons is as part of me as my own bone marrow. Anyone here who says differently is a dirty fucking liar.
The Simpsons and Law & Order are some of the best shows on TV today not because they are any better than they used to be, but because the rest of TV sucks more and more ass.
