FOX has given another two-season pickup to The Simpsons, ensuring the veteran cartoon series will stay on screens until at least 2008.
The deal covers the eighteenth and nineteenth seasons of the show in 2006-07 and 2007-08 respectively and takes it well past the landmark 400th episode.
King of the Hill, meanwhile, is being resurrected for an eleventh season, although the long lead times involved in animations mean that it is unlikely to premiere before January 2007.
