Template:Future television episode list Template:Infobox tvseason The Simpsons' twentieth season began airing on Fox September 28, 2008. The season had officially been confirmed to air by the network in May, 2008. It currently airs in its usual time, Sundays at 8:00 PM.[1] The Simpsons is now tied with Gunsmoke as the longest running American primetime television series.[2]

Production on the season was delayed because of contract negotiations with the six main voice actors.[3] The dispute was resolved, and the actors' salary was raised to $400,000 (US) per episode. The delay in production has caused the planned 22 episodes to be shortened to 20.[4] Voice actor Dan Castellaneta is to be credited as a consulting producer for the first time.[4]
