So that would be about, what, 36 years? That's quite a long time.
I haven't even been alive half that long.

Tell me about it. That's some dedication on the parts of those voice actors. How do you play a character for 1800 episodes without getting tired of the role?

Salary.
Sazae-san is the highest ranking show on Japanese TV. (Sometimes that role is usurped by a short running drama, but in general it's Sazae-san that holds top spot) with a 25% audience rating.
We recently reported that the actress for Gokusen makes $20,000 an episode, and her salary was based on expectations that were exceeded by the show. The Sazae-san actors must be making a minimum of $10k an episode....
It's a very good salary, but not enough to make you "set for life" like the cast of friends. Why quit a good thing ?

It's about, if I'm getting my facts straight, the daily life of a young woman. Nothing more, nothing less. Rather sitcom like, from what I've heard.

So, I'm guessing it's kinda like The Simpsons that the characters stay the same age no matter how many years have passed, right?
