Dallas of course plummeted, making it hard to justify doling out $350 000 per episode to Larry Hagman. Had Dallas actually continued to be in the top ten, then I'm sure Larry would've made even more plus there probably wouldn't have been so many cuts into the cast.Add that comedies on top of that have better syndication prospects than continuing dramas (Friends make about one billion per years for Warners).</blockquote>
