7 year contract. It's the third year now, right? I hope the show survives that long because it's a lot of fun.

 

I guess that is a good sign in that they wouldn't be willing to caugh up more dough if they thought they couldn't get it back in ad revenue.

 

i did notice a couple of weeks ago that in the cable nielsen ratings the week of Obama's inauguration - that Burn Notice was one of only 2 shows in the Top 10 (i think the other was Monk - or maybe it was Psyche - i can't remember now) - everything else that week had to do with the inauguration coverage...

so - ratings wise - it's doing pretty good.

 

Well deserved. Burn Notice and Psych are two of the favorite shows my wife and I regularly watch... (oops ..'TiVo').

We're also anxiously awaiting summer for the return of Eureka on SciFi.

In our opinion, three of the best shows on cable.

 

Good news, though I'm surprised he doesn't get paid more given how short the seasons are. What's a normal TV show star salary?

I would imagine much different on a so-called "cable" station production than on a network broadcast program.

As nice as that sounds, could it may be because lots of the main channels weren't showing a lot else other than Obama coveration and new seasons hadn't started up.

Though, as I type that I wonder and have researched it, so I don't really know. And I am an avid Burn Notice fan. I love the interplay between Donovan and Campbell.

 

Very good point, but OK, I have researched it.

Cable Nielsen Ratings for the week ending Feb 1:

#1 - The Closer
#2 - Monk
#3 - Burn Notice

And I'll never understand why the closer is #1. Of course, I also don't get why Amazing Grace gets good ratings too.

Glad to hear that Burn Notice is doing well and that they decided to give Jeff a well deserved raise.

It's actually still in the second season still.

Charlie Sheen gets like 800k an episode for Two and Half Men and they probably shoot around 22 episodes a year.

150k for a cable show is a pretty nice salary. I would say he is doing fairly well for himself. That gives him close to 2 million dollars for 4 months work. Not bad. Allows him to do movies and such too.

And that isn't even the top. BY the end, the cast of Friends was getting a cool million per show. That buys a lot of kibble.

 

55k seems like peanuts..glad he got more..esp after this weeks ep!

 

Glad to see an actor I like is getting what he deserves.

 

I think they need to give Gabrielle Anwar a raise, too. Not because she's so great on the show, but I feel bad that she can't even afford food.

She may be skinny, but she's ripped. She looks good skinny to me, and doesn't seem to be unhealthy.

Actually, I would have to agree. Someone in another thread mentioned how awful she looked. She was in a bikini in a recent episode and looked fine to me.

 

I have never been one to worry about her weight, but with the last two weeks in swimsuits, she could use a sammich or two.

 

Tangent: Yow, "Touching Evil" was almost 5 years ago???? (I've never seen Burn Notice, but that's the other thing I recognize him from.)

 

I loved Touching Evil but it was such a sad show most of the time. But, it had one of my favorite scenes ever, I think it was the last scene of the last episode with the two leads at the park and their interaction and the music and the cinematography.

eta: How about that, everything really is on YouTube. Final scene from Touching Evil:

I don't think she is unhealthy, just a bit thinner than is my taste. In general I'd rather she was on the Leah Remini side of that scale. ( having said that, Leah doesn't work for me for other reasons but that's a different thread)

Anwar's not built for comfort, that's for sure. She's on the extreme end of the spectrum for me. I have more issues with her face. It's not ugly or anything, but it looks like it's gone through a couple of rounds of plastic surgery.

Depends on position, top or bottom.....

I like her. I also like her skinny look because she's very good at wearing the right clothes to make it look good. She just turned 39 though so I guess she can show a little age, I suppose. Naomi Watts was on the Letterman show last night and she looked great, and she recently turned 40. Her skin (obviously with makeup) still looks great. I mention this because I don't so much think GA has had notable plastic surgery as much as I notice what appears to be sun damage to her face. She just looks like she's suffering from the south Florida leather face problem.

But in any case, I still think she's hot.
