23 seasons x 20 episodes each (aprox) x $400,000 each episode = $18,400,000 :fulloffuck:

Up until 1998, the six main actors were paid $30,000 per episode. In 1998 they were then involved in a pay dispute in which Fox threatened to replace them with new actors and went as far as preparing for casting of new voices. However, the issue was soon resolved and from 1998 to 2004, they were paid $125,000 per episode. In 2004, the voice actors intentionally skipped several table reads, demanding they be paid $360,000 per episode.[17] The strike was resolved a month later[18] and until 2008 they earned something between $250,000[19] and $360,000 per episode.[20] In 2008, production for the twentieth season was put on hold due to new contract negotiations with the voice actors, who wanted a "healthy bump" in salary to an amount close to $500,000 per episode.[20] The dispute was soon resolved, and the actors' salary was raised to $400,000 per episode.[21]

So everyone here seems to have the same recollection of memories, and each have their favorite episode (majority from the same first 9 years). So I take everyone must be around the same age. Do young kids these days even watch this show?

The Simpsons is in it's 23rd season!!! Come on, give it a rest! IMO it should have been cancelled after season 9. All the best stories, funniest most memorable moments, and best characters are from seasons 2-9.

This is coming from someone who grew up on the Simpsons, and my sense of humour was largely formed by that show. And I can watch those old episodes over and over and never get bored.

But this show needs to be GONE..like 13 YEARS AGO. It's unfunny and shitty and has been stretching out old shit exploiting any possible character and moment from the golden years. I even made a point NEVER to see the Simpsons Movie, because I KNOW it's SHIT without ever seeing it. I don't want to see rehashed bullshit and sit thru 90 minutes of it or however long it was.

Good riddance once this show is cancelled. It used to break my heart to say that, but GOOD LORD, The Simpsons has been comatose on life support for 13 years...be kind and fuckin pull the plug already and let them rest in peace.

To be honest, if they stopped producing new episodes of The Simpsons, I wouldn't miss it.
