    Wow. Multimillionaires discussion how to carve up billions. I think sympathy is in the dictionary between 'shit' and 'syphilius'.

    I'd miss it, still a great show. Still, people who make 8 million for 22weeks work barking about wanting more money has no sympathy from me.

    The actors are willing to take a pay cut of roughly a third, but that’s not good enough for Fox.”

    Tom Hanks put it best when he said he felt guilty about the amount of money he made for doing essentially nothing, but said what am I supposed to do, take less pay so the likes of Rupert Murdoch could make even more?

    Good riddance. The show hasn't even been funny since about 1997 anyway.

    Its think its time to let it die, it was a pioneer and trend setter of its time, but its death has been long overdue.

    Reminds me of Family Guy. FOX screwed that one up, too.

    Derp.

    "The actors, who currently earn a comfy $8 million for their 22 or so annual weeks of work, proposed a slightly smaller cut in exchange for a small percentage of the show’s back-end profits — “amounting to untold billions” between syndication and merchandising, Grove reports. "

    Double derp? There only comfortable with that paycheck because they were asking for the back-end profits from all the merchandising.
