Hold the "Doh!'s". Everyone’s favorite cartoon series "The Simpsons" will be on our screens for at least another two years.
Bart, Lisa, Homer, Marge and Maggie will be making us giggle until 2008 after US television network Fox commissioned another two series of the massively popular show.
The creator of the dysfunctional family, Matt Groening, revealed last year how he didn’t want to stop making the programme.
"I don't see any end in sight," he said. "I want to get to 366 [episodes] so we have one for every day of the year, including leap year.
He also said that the series would stay popular as long as it kept shocking its fans: "That's what you're looking for in television - surprise."
The new contract means "The Simpsons" will live to see its 400th episode in May 2007.
The show’s main cast members, including Nancy Cartwright (who mainly voices Bart) and Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer and other characters), are expected to stay on for the new shows.
Another series of animated show "King Of The Hill" has also been commissioned by Fox.
