Going on for more than three decades, The Simpsons now seems like more of a cultural institution than a mere television show, influencing the sense of humor of multiple generations. Running since December of 1989, the Springfield residents show no sign of disappearing from the small screen.

The voices of the show are done by voice actors Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, and more. All members of the main cast are rumored to be making $300,000 per episode.
