The Simpsons Turns 400 Tonight!
For a show that stars TV’s most prominent underachiever, “The Simpsons” has certainly reached some benchmarks. It passed “The Flintstones” as longest-running animated prime-time show 10 years ago. When its 18th season ends tonight with its 400th episode, it will be the longest-lasting comedy of any kind in prime-time TV history, surpassing “My Three Sons,” “M*A*S*H,” “Happy Days” and “Cheers.”

A repeat at 8.30 scored 6.7 million viewers, while Family Guy at 9 had 7.21 million.
