I think the next thing some producers should do is rebuild the Del Mar Motel. That would make an usual sitcom. dr. Baf

Baf That's why the acting is so bad. It's not spontaneous. I do know that these kinds of shows pay between $10 - $25 grand an episode to the principals, but it can't disrupt their regular business and be there all the time. The show I was on, (Hammered with the Deresta Brothers http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3962898http://www.fancast.com/tv/Hammered-with-John-%26-Jimmy-DiResta/100268/episodeswanted to film a 10 minute spot with me giving instructional advice onStained Glass to the hosts. (In reality the window and show was alreadyfinished weeks before, and my spot was eventually edited down to 1-2 minutesand inserted in the finished show). They arrived at my little shop with acrew of 12-15 that included cameramen, lighting, audio, script, director,grips, legal, makeup, and other hangers on.... all for 1 minute of TV!--JK Sinrodwww.MyConeyIslandMemories.com

Most people don't want to mess with selling online so they take the offer. The ones I love or hate is when they offer $1000 and then jump up to $1500 in one shot. They are in business to make money and it is your job as a seller to know what you have and its value. Of you here who have visited the show what hours where on ones from the show working? Kirk

I had fixed overhead costs and wanted to make at least a 25% margin per employee.

The cabbie drove us by there last week and there was a long line waiting to get it. He said that there always is the usual state of the place. We didn't see any camera crew however.
