The Simpsons went live in the US on Sunday (Monday New Zealand time).
The long-running animated sit-com - which was first broadcast in December 1989 - saw its episode on both the East and West Coasts of America end with a three-minute segment where Homer Simpson, who is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, answered fan questions.
In the introduction to the segment, Lisa Simpson (Yeardley Smith) quipped: "It only took us 27 years to do what they could do in 1954."
And Homer vowed the show will "never" end.
Seated behind a desk in "Fox's secret bunker", he said: "This is the last episode of The Simpsons. Just kidding, The Simpsons will never end."
As public questions were coming in, various characters from the show walked in and out, including Bender from creator Matt Groening's other show, Futurama.
