Some interesting facts as well as some surprises.

Two actors struck me on this list. One is no contributing factor at all (Laurence Fishburne is ok on CSI but could be next week and no one would recognize it) or infamous showkillers/awful actors to begin with (Alex O'Loughlin) - so whoy are they paid so much???

I'm shocked that Charlie Sheen gets that much for basically playing himself and not to mention the personal problems he's had. He's not worth 1.25 million.

Fishburne probably gets as much because he used to be in movie. As for O'Loughlin, CBS is determined to make him happen.

As much as I hate his sh*tty crap show, the audience is there. He IS the show. He DELIVERS exactly what the show is about. The ratings are great. DVD sales are big. International revenue is HUGE. Charlie Sheen is worth every penny, even though he plays himself.

Sheen's salary is abnormal, really. Though, I love Two and a Half Men.

I thought Judge Judy was worth more than Oprah in television. Are they cobbling Oprah's magazine/movie/book/television projects in WITH the money she makes on her talk show?

[sheilaforever]

Don't think so; it's just their on-screen salary - sans merchandise.

[Cheap21]

really? Oprah is a beast! No one can touch her. Judge Judy was never even close

So Dempsey makes $250,000 per episode but nobody else on GA cracks $30,000?

[Sylph]

When are they gonna cancel that [!@#$%^&*]?

[JackPeyton]

LOL, i like it.

Well, this past season really sucked until the last 3 episodes, and that season finale was one of the best episodes it has ever done.

But i am shocked that there is that big of a gap.

[sheilaforever]

they probably didn't bother to list them. LOL

Last (previous year I supporse) I heard Ellen Pompeo was making 200,000 for annyoing the crap out of us all. Sandra Oh had the same salary as Katherine Heigl which was at about 125,000.

Every time when I think GA can't get any more atrocious, they throw some really good episodes at me and I continue to watch. It takes about a month before I'm back to pissed again and cannot believe that I watch such garbage. And don't get me started on Parivate Practice relationship: it's even worse but I like the actors...
