Next week The Simpsons hit another milestone.

Longest running scripted tv show is the milestone.

I have my VCR programmed to record it. B)

what was the longest before? Bonanza?

EDIT: I looked it up, I guess I meant gun smoke.
Saturday night live will still be the longest running scripted show at 847 episodes.
It's been on for 43 years. I remember watching the first season. :o

Is the longest running event also a milestone?

SNL is not considered primetime, as it airs after 11:30 eastern time. That’s why Simpsons will be number one. It’s a technicality, but that’s why they are being awarded the honor.

I'd rather watch Bevis and Butthead.

not arguing, just saying this is where I got my info
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-running_scripted_U.S._primetime_television_series

I notice that there is a rather odd caveat that prefaces this list, to wit:

Shows that aired during late night (after 11:30 pm EST) are not usually considered as being in prime time, but are treated as such for the purposes of this list.

So in a narrow sense, I would assume that this disqualifies SNL.

I haven't watched the simpsons in at least 10 years

At some point you must of watch a clip or cut scenes in this game so it all counts.

Maybe he plays with his eyes closed...
