Yeah. It’s just that the salaries of the voice actors are well known, and probably represent a large fraction of the cost per episode.
I really wonder what the writers’ salaries are. That was what made the Simpsons so good, with so many quotable lines in the first 8 or 9 seasons. My guess is that the writers make a tiny fraction of what the voice actors make. If they paid writers $400k per episode, could they attract superstar writers who could re-capture the magic of those early seasons?
Good points. But I would argue that voice actors have far less control over how good an episode is going to be than the rest.
