'''The Simpsons''' is an American-produced animated television series. First broadcast in 1989, only three weeks after the broadcast of the final episode of the original ''Doctor Who'', it is presently (2010) in its 21st season, making it the longest-running American prime-time scripted series of all time, and the longest-running English-language animated series in the world. It, along with ''Law & Order'' (a live-action drama that ended after its 20th season) and ''Gunsmoke'' (a live-action Western that also wrapped after 20 seasons), are the only American programmes broadcast on a weekly schedule (therefore discounting daytime soap operas) to boast longevity approaching that of the original 26-season run of ''Doctor Who''.
