Fox has renewed animated shows The Simpsons for two more years --
bringing it through its 16th season -- and King of the Hill
for one more year, a Fox spokesman confirmed Friday.

At the end of The Simpsons' 16th season, it can claim the
historic title of "longest-running sitcom on television."

King of theHill's renewal will take it through eight
seasons.

The Simpsons airs Sundays at 8 p.m., while Fox will move King of the
Hill to 7:30 p.m. from 8:30 p.m.

New comedy Oliver Beene will premiere in the 8:30 p.m. Sunday slot in
March.

Both shows are produced by Twentieth Century Fox
Television.
