    I did and your numbers are wildly inflated. The average rate for network TV is $22.50 an hour, or $49,500 per year assuming full time employment, which would put them at $3,300 per episode with a 15 episode (roughly halfway between the old 22 episode format and current 10 episode format) season per year.

      I guess this proves that the internet will tell us what we want to hear, doesn’t it? Because the numbers I found support my point. Either way, it doesn’t matter

      They don’t own the product, they don’t take on the risk, they don’t get residuals. That’s how things work.
