Yea Charlie Sheen just got a salary raise from $1 Million to $1.78 Million i think, not $1.25 Million.

I really don't care about the fact how much he earns, I just care about how awesome Two and a Half Men is

 

[Ranger Taffles]

Oprah owns the TV business. :lol:

 

[Omyakha]

Quite a surprising list. The desperate housewives still get so much money, does any one even watch that show anymore? Charlie Sheen's salary is substantially larger than the rest though

charlie sheen u LUCKY dawg damn man /episode shessh thats ridiculous amount of money to GET !

 

[theDarkDisciple]

Surprising. I was expecting to see Hugh Laurie at the top spot and by a big margin (ala Sheen). He needs to ask for a raise.

And yes more than a mil for one 20 minute TV episode really is a ridiculous amount of monehs.

 

[ASKnASK]

Woah. Big earners!

A million dollars for 20 minutes of work

 

[Lars]

Woah. Big earners!

A million dollars for 20 minutes of work

Not really , there are some 40 mins/episode tv shows too

Quite big numbers on the list which is quite surprising especially didn't expect Sheen to topp the charts, seems okay for Dan Castellana but David Caruso :hah:

 

[theDarkDisciple]

Woah. Big earners!

A million dollars for 20 minutes of work

They shoot more than an hour of footage which of course is edited down to a 20 min episode. Then some scenes require several retakes and all so quite a lot of work goes into it. Having said that, I was expecting someone from House or Lost to top teh list. Charlie Sheen meh.

 

[ASKnASK]

^ But still man... A million dollars. That's something.

 

[dododo123]

The FRIENDS stars got $1million per episode for the final season.

Kelsey Grammer got paid $1.6 million per episode for the final two seasons of Frasier.

Ray Romano got paid $1.8 million per episode towards the end of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Seinfeld got paid $1 million per episode for the final season of his eponymous sitcom. He was offered $5 million per episode to make another season, but declined.

 

[theDarkDisciple]

^ Holy shat 5mil per episode!

 

[Jigger]

i rewalli envy Charlie Sheen... his work isn't that difficult considering other TV shows but its the popularity that counts...

[theDarkDisciple]

250 grand is actually quarter of a million dollas.

so what about the "Half" in the show... how much is he getting?

From the same list posted in the OP:
Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) $550,000

 

[Deadly Shadow]

Ray Romano earned 1.8 million, but that is not really that surprising, considering the fact that he had shares as a producer, writer and of course acting.

I also expected some LOST dude to top the list...damn, they get paid too much.
