HOLLYWOOD - The cast of TV show The Simpsons has settled an ongoing pay dispute with TV bosses--landing a major pay raise that will see their earnings rise to $500,000 an episode.

The cartoon's actors, including Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner and Nancy Cartwright, had been embroiled in lengthy negotiations with executives at Fox TV to have their wages increased from $320,000 for the next 22-episode season.

But the pay boost has now brought their earnings more in line with live-action sitcom stars and guaranteed the show will return for its 20th season.
