Disputes over salaries for the actors (with Fox wanting to cut their per episode salary from $400,000 to $250,000 per episode) nearly resulted in the series being axed by Fox.
Candidly, I wasn’t concerned about the fates of the actors. All I could think was that the writers who have kept the series alive for 23 years and put the words into the actors’ mouths get a hëll of a lot less than that, and it would have sucked to see the writers out of work because the actors couldn’t make ends meet on a quarter mill per show. My guess is that even with a pay cut, they make more per single episode than the writers make for entire seasons.
