Well your headline is getting you views but the show Seinfeld did not ruin TV, it was a great show that continues to be watched and generate revenue. Maybe actors and writers should be paid according to a mathematical formula that calculates the percentage of their contribution and continue their retirement income based on re-run revenues. Meanwhile it could be said that monumental pay checks issued to athletes has ruined sports, especially now available on a college level. Certainly a valid argument but it goes back to George’s, pardon me, Jason’s original point… how much is that individual generating revenue and is he/she getting a fare share. Perhaps a way to settle this would be that actors, writers, players and coaches are paid by commission, like many other workers, paid by tips, or commissions after the service is delivered.
