Luminous 0 #3 May 13, 2003 UNBELIEVEABLE! I had never heard of this guy before his sitcom came on, and I took about 5 minutes for me to realize that everybody doesn't love raymond. Where's the humor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #5 May 13, 2003 Unfortunately, you don't get paid in the entertainment business for what you're worth to the audience, but rather what you're worth to the advertisers. For my money, right now, Jon Stuart of the Daily Show is the funniest guy on television and he's delivering the ha-ha 5 days a week. To me, Ray Ramano is an insult to men -- perhaps mankind.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #6 May 13, 2003 The show, which would be nothing without Ray Romano makes the network hundreds of millions of dollars. I think he has every right to earn that kind of money. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #7 May 13, 2003 Yeah, I know it is based more on ratings and ad dollars than talent. The six main characters on Friends collectively make $6 Million per episode. That is ridiculous also, but the network has found that those salaries are still within the profit model. The few shows I like to watch have nearly non-existant acting budgets. It isn't a big item on the History and Discovery Channels. There is some paid to the chefs on the Food Network, but nothing like the major networks. And Alton Brown is the man!

Muenkel 0 #10 May 13, 2003 Networks do not get attached to their stars. The second the money begins to dry up, the star becomes yesterday's news. I say Ray Romano, grab it while you can. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #11 May 13, 2003 I heard on tv that it comes out to $90,000 per minute for a sit com. Of course, that's just per show, not rehearsals and stuff, but still! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #12 May 13, 2003 Now if they paid the actor who portrayed Uncle Leo on Seinfeld 1.6 mil per episode, it would have been worth every cent. What was that actor's name again?....anyone....anyone.....Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
