[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 347580, member: 57984"] I'm not sure how big BBG's salary really was. Telepictures was slashing budgets, and they weren't willing to meet VP's demands -- and she was no longer in the mood to compromise (and I don't blame her). And DALLAS likely had the biggest budget because DALLAS was DALLAS. Leonard Katzman had the reputation for being the kind of producer who took care of the actors, so he apparently managed the dollars in such a way that he could keep the core group together as long as he could, and also film in Texas for 6 weeks every year through 1988. But these production companies -- often in tandem with the network -- can come up with the money when they want to. They suddenly decided they could give Victoria parity with Duffy once she'd been gone for a year and the series started to spiral. But she was no longer interested. And Larry was making 350,000 dollars per episode during the last three years when the ratings had collapsed and DALLAS was in the basement. So the quixotic accounting doesn't make any sense to us. It probably doesn't even make any sense to them...
