Our favourite family kicked off their 23rd season on TV in 2011, and it might've been their last. For a couple of weeks in October, it really, truly looked like The Simpsons would be undone by a pay dispute between the voice cast and 20th Century Fox. Fortunately everything was ironed out in the end, and little Bart, little Lisa, little Marge and the rest will keep pumping out new episodes until at least 2014.
