Are you a Simpsons lover?

If you are a Simpsons lover then you will be pleased to know that Fox has ordered two more seasons of the show. This comes after a week of terse words between Fox and the actors regarding pay. The station was wanting the actors to take a 45% pay decrease per actor. That is a load of money per person. Currently actors are not allowed to profit from the shows merchandising and such. Actors said that they would be willing to take a pay cut if they would receive a part of the "back-end" profits.

I think that if you are going to be part of a show that sells merchandise, the actors and artist, not just the producers and the company need to benefit. I mean, there would be no show with out the actors and artist so this is the least that you could do for them.

I think that the producers and "command staff" get paid way more than they need to, and the "talent" as in actors, tech crews, and artist get paid the least and need to be paid more. (especially the tech crews and artist) If you have some type of promotional item that your are merchandising then you need to allow the other members of your TEAM to benefit out of that. Even in this field I believe that the saying "There is no I in team " is correct.
