I have to pay Elizabeth Montgomery's estate $0.5 every time I wiggle my nose in a cute way.

Thats what the writers guild were striking about - they don't royalties.

PMing the invoice for these comments.

Residuals.

Lucille Ball did well- but then she owned the production company that made the show and the studio where it was filmed.

I hope you discount it by at least 25% for the missing word, capital letters and apostrophe.

Do the writers of Bewitched get royalties every time I Dream of Genie is played? I mean it's pretty much the same fucken show.

And Sergeant Bilko/Top Cat.

Did they have a romantic interest co-star who was distinguished from the other characters by her magical powers and their hilarious consequences? No they did not.


Block  said about 2 years ago:

No, but they were all the pretty much the same fucken show.
THAT WAS THE POINT I WAS MAKING.


__v  said about 2 years ago:

i was always more of a samantha the witch kinda guy than a jeannie kinda guy.

but i do see the appeal of jeannie.


JRB  said about 2 years ago:

Okay, point taken.

On that topic, did they just pay the writers of Are You Being Served for one script and then shuffle the same jokes into a different order every week?


__v  said about 2 years ago:

you're saying that like it's a bad thing.


wipey  said about 2 years ago:

thanks rigid
