Currently the longest-running sitcom on television, "The Simpsons" will celebrate another milestone tonight when the show marks its 399th and 400th episodes.

Airing back-to-back at 7 and 7:30 p.m. on Fox-TV (Channel 32), the episodes will close out the 18th season in much the same manner as the first: by skewering convention, raising a few eyebrows and making us laugh.

How's this for longevity? "The Simpsons" are celebrating their 400th anniversary tonight on Fox. It's the longest-running animated cartoon in television history.

In the first half-hour, the show lampoons "24," the network's hit action series. It features Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brian (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub) as they help CTU (Counter Truancy Unit) agents Bart and Lisa diffuse a stink bomb threat at the school's bake sale.

The landmark 400th show is a timely episode that keys on nightly newscaster Kent Brockman, whose on-air use of a vulgarity causes him to become the target of an anti-indecency campaign that gets him fired.

I missed 399, but I am watching 400. I dont usually watche the simpsons.

Now I know why I dont watch simpsons.

Yeah the newer episodes in recent years haven't really been funny anymore.

Tell me I'm stupid but it seems to me like it's been a lot more then 400 shows of the Simpsons. It seems to me more like 1000 of them have been shown on T-V. I can remember watching them for years now!

I felt the exact same way 4 years ago and before that. I always thought there were at least 900 episodes of the Simpsons (sounds silly now) but was surprised there were only around 350 when I first checked it out. The show seems to not getting boring after years and years of replays in which is a mystery however I think the way the show is produced is a key. The bright yellow colors draw in a viewer to watch it.
