I'm glad they banded together to get their hefty pay raises. But it also makes me feel bad in the fact that when Maggie Roswell (ie Mrs. Lovejoy, Maude Flanders, and other voices) tried to get a raise a few years ago, Fox offered $150.
If you weren't aware, the cast of Simpsons went on strike awhile back. According to several sources (one of which is listed below), the stars of the show "will return to work this week with twice as much "D'oh" in their pockets, having won a new contract collectively valued at $33 million a year." Good to know Fox isn't THAT stupid to rid of our show, eh?
