Production on the season was delayed because of contract negotiations with the six main voice actors, but was resolved and the actors' salary was raised to $400,000 per episode. The delay in production has caused the planned 22 episodes to be shortened to 21. Voice actor Dan Castellaneta is credited as a consulting producer for the first time. The Simpsons Season 20 was released on DVD on January 12, 2010 to celebate its twenty years.
