The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Health-ma to your brother, amyth

I do wonder if the Vampire Diaries kids make more than the Supernatural kids. Hmmph.

I think the fact that Ian S. is on the list probably means he does, at least.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I found it funny on Criminal Minds when Reid walked in on Morgan and Rossi watching a soap opera in his hotel room. When he said they were watching "Days of Our Lives," they immediately corrected him--it was Y&R. Nice shoutout to Shemar's previous workplace!

That list only had two NCIS actors on it. Mark Harmon obviously makes the most, being the Name Actor and now producer, and Michael Weatherly just got his raise this summer, which makes me wonder what the rest of the cast is making. I hope that David McCallum gets a decent amount, since he's the "and" at the end of the cast listing and is as big a Name Actor as Harmon, IMO, but doesn't have the screen time Harmon does on the show.

Punishingly Intricate

Callaluna, just wanted to say I'm so sorry you're struggling to be happy right now. It can be really, really rough to move somewhere new, especially as big a move as this was for you, and it is a huge bummer that you can't go home like you'd planned.

This. Also, what town are you in? I have a Belgian friend who owns a flower store there and, in my dream, you are in the same town and you can go visit him there and be cheered by his hilarity and beautiful flowers.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I love that hobbit house and could totally imagine myself living there. Except it'd need more windows because I get SADS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was figuring they left out a huge number of shows, so maybe not. Because Ian? Really? Nice iliac crest, but seriously. Is VD really the biggest show on CW?

Right, yes. Quite probably.

I hope that David McCallum gets a decent amount, since he's the "and" at the end of the cast listing

That actually functions in lieu of money--it's additional recognition, not an indication of remuneration. It's something else to bargain for.

Going by last year's list, they're totally cherry-picked. Ellen Pompeo does make more than Patrick Dempsey--I am surprised. And Tom Welling makes much much more than Ian Somerhalder, but isn't on this year's list.

Because books.

I think he might have started higher, because of Lost, but after five seasons I'm sure the SPN guys are making more than 40K an ep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I'm so glad.

Also, I would like to live in a hobbit house, as long as it had high-enough ceilings. I could totally live in a cave. Cozy!!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ha.

Ha.

Ha.

Point taken. Still, and I am like unto a limpet clinging to the slimy rock that is my point, the lowest salary listed on there is $40K. So there's two issues, here. Who gets paid what, and who gets listed. Jeezy creezy, they listed the KID on 2 1/2 Men. I found on another, similar list from 2007 that Ellen Pompeo made $200K/ep, which at the time was only $25K off Patrick Dempsey.

Now, I recognize that for whatever reason, the women's salaries may just happen to not be available. I will note that Deschanel, like Boreanaz, is also a co-producer on Bones.
