[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 347730, member: 57984"] Yes, but his co-executive producer title wouldn't have pushed his salary up by as much as that -- not circa 1990. He was likely getting it from network supplements (which were ceased for the show by that point because the ratings were crashing, but may have been made available to Larry to keep him around) and retroactive raises (which are a thing) and profit percentage deals where he gets a ton of money upfront in anticipation of later syndication profits... Larry said he'd never want a back-end deal because he knew people who'd had back-end residual deals and were in and out of court for the rest of their lives, trying to collect on what was owed them. But then Larry and Maj were screwed by Bernie Madoff, which necessitated Hagman taking nuDALLAS. You can always get screwed by somebody.
