People have had to guesstimate on the crown cost so it’s between $6.5 million and $13 million an episode and Sense8 fell right in the middle of that at $9 million an episode but without the viewership, accolades and talk as The Crown. 1 Link to comment

I wonder if I Spy and The Bill Cosby Show is on one of the oldies stations. I doubt if the Kevin Spacey arc has been pulled from Wiseguy Though with Wiseguy, it seems less urgent to pull a story arc where a sleazy actor was pulling a sleazy character than it is to pull the sleaze who is supposed to be America's beloved tv family member.

It is a go. 10 episodes (ordered for now, anyway); The Conners (not Connors) will air in the time slot where Roseanne would've aired this fall. Roseanne has no creative or financial interest in the show & will not appear in it. However, since the original show, Roseanne, was picked up for the fall schedule then canceled, Union rules (apparently SAG-AFTRA's) state the cast must be paid for the 1st 7 episodes they would've done of the 13 ordered for the fall season (I don't know, now, if she gets that money or if she gave that up along with her other financial & creative stakes in the show). Roseanne has, however, released a statement saying she's happy the around 200 jobs that are connected to the Roseanne show have been saved. Link to comment
merylinkid June 22, 2018 Share June 22, 2018 I siad this at the time it was cancelled, they should just do what they did to Valerie Harper, kill off the character and rename the show. The sticking point here was getting Roseanne to not have a damn cent from the show even if she didn't appear. Link to comment
CoderLady June 22, 2018 Share June 22, 2018 (edited) I'd bet good money that it was impossible to go forward without Barr benefiting in some way, and that financial agreements have been made outside of public scrutiny. That's what high-priced entertainment industry lawyers are for. If we're lucky, she'll be contractually obligated to keep her big trap shut about it but I wouldn't be at all surprised if she gets back on Twitter to blab about it eventually if the show manages to be successful without her. I don't care one way or the other, though. Neither the original nor the reboot ever resonated with me but if this works for other people I hope they get a new show they like, hopefully with less politics and more family stuff.

But I suppose it should be, like the #MeToo/Harvey Weinstein (et al) thing is for the men named as being involved in that. What got me about it wasn't that, though. It was that she signed on to do another series so quickly (she only took a year/TV season-long break off) when, based on how, among other things, during her contract dispute before H50 S8, Grace supposedly wanted to do less than half of the episodes of Hawaii Five-0 Season 8, or less than 12-13 (there were 25 eps in S8), then she wanted Kono written out entirely. To me, that sounded like someone who wanted to spend more time with her family (especially her young son, who was born somewhere between H50 S3 & S4) after having worked so long & hard for at least the last 7 years (plus however many seasons she was on the Battlestar Galactica reboot). It didn't sound like someone who quit a series after 7-ish years, plus however many years for BSG right before that, only to go back to work after, basically, a year off. Link to comment

Yep, a non-stop flight from Vancouver (which I believe is where she lives) to Honolulu is a hair over six hours; add in getting to the airport early, waiting for luggage, and of course going through customs, the travel is a long day. The contract she pitched would have reduced her time as well as gotten her written out, but it was also a very big ask. She found the sweet spot between what she would re-sign for and what they might or might not accept. Link to comment

No. But it also might not be filmed in Vancouver either. MacGyver, for example, films in Atlanta; Walker Texas Ranger filmed in Dallas; other shows have filmed in North Carolina (if they aren't filming there now). Commuting to LA (or wherever) for filming would be/is pretty much the same thing (except maybe a shorter plane flight, depending on where they film), in my humble opinion, as commuting to Honolulu. Also, the last time I looked at her Wikipedia page, it said she was both a US & Canadian citizen (having been born in the US, then moved to Canada as a child). There may not be any/many Customs issues, except perhaps needing a Passport/US Passport Card to cross the border, & using whichever 1 helps out best on each side of the border. I still think there's stuff we don't know about why Grace, & Daniel, left H50. As I said before this all went down, Daniel was on his social media, reassuring the fans that he could (& would) be able to play Chin Ho in S8, filming in Hawaii, & to act as 1 of the credited Executive Producers on The Good Doctor (which, I found out earlier this week films in Vancouver (ironically) when Daniel posted to social media about the first day of the first table read for S2) at the same time. Then, suddenly, both were gone (though there were signs at least Grace would be leaving, based on what they said when she wrapped filming on S7). Then recently, unfortunately I don't remember where now, I read something that seemed to say neither Grace nor Daniel was happy being on H50 before they left the show; if true, I think Daniel should've at least not reassured the fans he would be back last season if, behind the scenes, he wasn't happy on H50 anymore.

They left because they were being low-balled on salary. That was very public knowledge and the fact that the two Asian leads were paid significantly less than the white leads and neither was offered any backend money. They didn't negotiate together and still came to the same decision which says to me that they felt undervalued and underpaid and the last second increase offered by CBS was either not high enough or insulting on a personal level. Seven seasons in, they should have been at parity. They weren't so they left. 10 Link to comment

Its not getting that much media attention now but none of the people involved are really working in entertainment right now. Seems like a trial and an actress, who was a member of the cult on a network show, is a recipe for another ABC PR nightmare. 5 Link to comment
