The standoff between The Simpsons voice cast and series producer 20th Century Fox TV is over.
After months of negotiations, the cast of Fox's long-running animated series reached a new four-year deal with the studio.
Under the pact, the top actors will be paid nearly $400,000 (U.S.) per episode, about a third higher than their current paycheques of about $300,000 an episode.
Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer Simpson and has penned several Simpsons episodes over the years, has also been named a consulting producer.
Castellaneta and most of the other key Simpsons voice players – Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa) and Hank Azaria (Moe) – started work on the upcoming 20th season this week.
The status of Harry Shearer, who voices Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders, among other characters, was not clear.
Because of a last-minute snag, his deal did not close with the others'.
The Simpsons broadcast its 400th episode in the past season, making it the longest-running U.S. television comedy.
Now that Fox has ordered a 20th season, the show will be tied with cowboy drama Gunsmoke, which ran from 1955 to 1975, as one of the longest running prime-time fictional series.

Pretty decent wages, considering they don't need to dress up or wear makeup, and still have the relative anonymity in public most of us in radio enjoy.

Woo hoo!
