So it's been two years since the final Seinfeld, almost to the day.

With all the yap about how the 6 Friends got $750K an episode, plus better residuals, I wonder if the Seinfeld 4 got robbed, getting "only" $1 million an episode, since Seinfeld regularly beats everybody in syndication.

Of course, some of those early Seinfeld episodes aren't aging well. Could Seinfeld become like the Mary Tyler Moore show, hugely popular during its day, but nobody cares about it now?

Only Jerry got a million per episode and a share in syndication profits.The supporting 3 asked for a million per episode and settled for $600K per ep and they don't get syndication money that I am aware of. Reiser and Hunt got a million per ep the last season. THAT was unjustified. Paul Casserly wrote in message news:[email]...

I should say Hunt and Reiser got a million each per ep for the last season of Mad About You. I have been told Matthew Perry is the only cast member of Friends that offers imput into the scripts.It was also pointed out to me that Jerry gets paid so high because he was also a producer.As far as May is concerned, I think Hunt and Reiser were both producers so they deserved more than they would make as solely actors, but not a million per episode.
