Luckily, all is now right in the town of Springfield! According to Entertainment Weekly, execs and Shearer smoothed things over and worked out a deal. Now loyal fans will be rewarded with the entire original cast, including Dan Castellaneta, Yeardley Smith, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Hank Azaria and now Harry Shearer.

Said it at the beginning, even truer at the end: thanks to Simpsons fans for your support; wouldn't have happened w/out you!
