The longest-running prime time comedy in TV history, The Simpsons, just got renewed for at least two more years, making the 2013-2014 season its 25th year in production.
WOO HOO!
Fox made the announcement after a lengthy negotiations stalemate ended with its six principle voice actors who agreed to have their salaries cut by about a third, rather than the 45 percent that 20th Century Fox TV had requested they accept to keep the show going. So, now, instead of their current $440,000 per episode, they will each receive $300,000 per episode for the next two seasons.
Sounds like a win-win-win for the network, the actors and all die-hard Simpsons fans.
