Dammit, I was going to congratulate you on your 37 cents in residuals, but you beat me to the punch.

Hehe, I'm curious.  Hypothetically-speaking, $1.37 per set sold or a one-time fee?  

If Drew Carey is THAT rich, I wonder how much he bargained for for the DVD sales and rerun rights to The Drew Carey Show and Whose Line?

/But that info is none of my business.  ;-)

The 37 cents x 5 = $1.85 is just a joke to poke fun at the poor deal that the directors, writers and performers have for DVD sales that is based on negotiations conducted way back when DVDs were a new technology.

The fight over increased DVD compensation was part of the rift between AFTRA and SAG that you might have heard about in recent weeks. SAG was urging AFTRA members to reject their recently negotiated contract under the mistaken impression that a "no" vote might open the opportunity to renegotiate better terms. But the reality is that the entity that represents the major studios/producers stands firm on the DVD issue as it's a huge moneymaker, and won't give any one of the four unions (DGA, WGA, AFTRA, SAG) any more than it gives the others. AFTRA members thumbed their noses at the misguided faction at SAG, and approved the new contract just last night. While it's a fair deal it doesn't do much for compensation from DVDs.

Short answer: I'm not sure what the true compensation will ultimately be for this release.

But will it be more than a buck eighty-five?

Works out great, since I can't seem to find my OB copies I recorded off VH1 back in 05.

My copies were on my DVR so long they were deleted automatically. I didn't know there was a limit on Dish Network's crap DVR...

Game Show Moments Gone Bananas on DVD!!!  Great!!!  As soon as I buy it, I can finally use the videotape (which has all five episodes + the Chuck Woolery game show moments show that aired on GSN) for taping other shows, like the Thom McKee eps. on Tic Tac Dough (when they finally get around to those shows).  

Doc Fass (the current champion) ended up winning over $100,000, and was invited back to the 1983 Super Champs Tournament, along with Wilbur Hicks, Thom McKee, Mark Leinwand, and four others.

With all the DVD's we're planning to buy, we'll soon get enough cash generated so that Randy can visit the Burbank Bob's Big Boy and enjoy a fabulous milkshake with the K-Boy burger platter, lol
