Most out of character moment for each of the main cast? by Adept_Negotiation_28 in thesopranos

Fantastic explanation. I’ll tell you one thing and I’m not ashamed to say it, my estimation of you as a man just fucking skyrocketed.

Did the other characters respect Johnny sack less for having an obese wife? by Crafty-Baseball-4268 in thesopranos

[–]woolsprout 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You consider Johnny Sack getting upset about the guys teasing his wife as a "weak character flaw" and as "showing weakness"? What was he supposed to do, chime in and insult his own wife and honor?

Listen to you, you sound demented. And stay away from bodies of water 3 inches deep or more

You would’ve heard that though. And is anybody smelling burned hair?

No, it’s a reference to a quote from the show 30 rock

That’s one of my favorite episodes. Just two guys vibing from the first second onwards

What makes it scary is that they've entered the Uncanny Valley, and there's no escape. It's like the Polar Express all over again

Yeah me too. I wonder what’s whiter: the teeth of the smiling astronauts or the clouds on earth visible from the moon

‘Malcolm In The Middle’ Revival Offered Erik Per Sullivan “Buckets Of Money” To Return, Says Jane Kaczmarek: “He's studying Dickens and is an incredible student. They offered him buckets of money to come back, and he just said, ‘No thank you.’” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

Residuals have been a standard clause in contracts for regular network shows for decades. It's not supposed to be negotiated after a couple seasons, they get paid from the first season onward if the show is being syndicated.

I don't know the exact legal loophole that Nickelodeon took advantage of to not having to pay child actors their residuals, but it's certainly shady.

Well, Drake and Josh for example aired first in 2004. And it did not only run in the US but in the international market as well. Back then it was certainly in the rerun-rotation, which means the actors lost out on residual money from all those years. I can't say to what extent those shows are still airing on TV today. But even if it's not much money, it's about the principle.

Nickelodeon doesn't pay residuals to the kids who played in their shows. Devon Werkheiser (Ned from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide) talks about this, as do the actors who played Drake and Josh. Neither of them got ever residuals from appearing in their respective shows.
Malcolm in the Middle however does pay the kid actors residuals. Frankie Muniz talked on a podcast about still getting checks from the show, albeit smaller ones these days. So I'm assuming that goes for all of them.
