The Simpsons Season 29: 10 Excellent Things You Need To Know

The Simpsons will become the television show with the most produced episodes ever well before the spring finale airs. After breaking other notable primetime records, the series is a dozen installments away from its next landmark accomplishment.

As the show nears the middle of season twenty-nine, its episode count will reach a grand total of six hundred and thirty-six. This eclipses the numerical count for previous record holder Gunsmoke. Its renewal chances were up in the air two years ago, but the animated titan emerged victorious. The Simpsons' status as the scripted series with the greatest amount of completed episodes is about to go down in history.

The Simpsons previously took Gunsmoke's crown as the longest-running primetime program in its twenty-first season. Season twenty-nine further polishes the headpiece by pulling the Simpsons well past Gunsmoke's six hundred and thirty-five episodes. By the close of the preordered thirtieth season, The Simpsons will have aired an unparalleled six hundred and sixty-nine episodes.

With stellar ratings and strong content, The Simpsons displays no signs of ending in the near future. Even the DVDs of past seasons are experiencing a revival, with Season eighteen set to debut on DVD at the end of the year. The cast and crew have already recorded commentary for successive seasons in anticipation of subsequent releases. Producers seek to give audiences the full Simpsons experience as the show attains achievement after achievement.

Season twenty-nine is a noteworthy benchmark for the couch-loving family who continue to reach milestones.
