    The reruns of the show are reportedly bringing in roughly $20 million for each cast member each year, according to a report published Monday by The Sun. The news comes as “Friends” celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

    At least the 6 primary cast members.

    Goes to to show if they could produce decent TV people would watch it.

    INGO —- “Yay ... Capitalism”

    INGO —- “They get paid too much”

    If there wasn’t a demand they wouldn’t get paid for it. Good for them. They did something for many season, many people love the show, and they still play it, heck ya if it was me I would want a check

    I’m in the good for them camp. If that is what the markets pays, then so be it. I can’t even imagine that kind of money. I did a lot of things wrong, I won’t even see that much money the rest of my life.

    Sssssssshhhhhhhh...

    ...any popular TV series of that era and the actors involved MUST be full of racism and bigotry. :rolleyes:

    It's gonna be hard to keep the woke police off of this news.

    I never cared for the show. It's fine, but it wasn't something I ever sought out.

    That said, I don't feel anything about the actors being paid for the reruns, except perhaps a bit of envy re: their business acumen. I would love to still be paid regularly for work I did years ago.

    Oh, and I really enjoyed the seasons of Top Gear that Matt LeBlanc (Joey) hosted, but I also don't blame him for not wanting to put up with the schedule Top Gear demands.

    Just to be clear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them getting paid whatever their contracts agreed to pay them for reruns. But it is an unreal and insane amount of money in my world.

    It is also getting harder to pay a cast that much as entertainment is so fragmented today. Big Bang, the recent #1 comedy, generally had about half the viewers of Friends.

    OMG, this is so true. Even up until recently, the show Two Broke Girls was on the air and man, did that show check every “woke” box there is: gay jokes, cultural stereotypes, class discrimination, capitalism, etc.

    Not 1 post stating they are over paid.

    Just curious.

    Royalties are the way to do it, man. Sit back and watch the cash poor in.

    Assuming you can produce something folks want to see over and over....pretty big risk.

    I tried to watch that show a couple times, and felt dumber every time. What a pathetic piece of garbage. Can't believe they made it beyond the pilot episodes.
