You'd think the writers wouldn't be so quick to screw other writers,
but, no honor among thieves I guess. Also, don't forget they're double
dipping; now THEY get the residuals for the 'new' character just by
changing one tiny item.
I'd love to see some hard numbers on this stuff. I recall, decades ago,
James Garner complaining about the amount they paid to one of the
credited co-creators of the series, who wasn't involved after the pilot,
'cause Garner thought that money could be better spent on producing the
show. And the article said it was some huge figure, like $25k a week.
