How many episodes do they make and how many weeks does that take? Because right now three thousand a month doesn't sound awful.

3 grand an episode so if they had a month of new ones that’s 12,000 bucks which would be awesome.

EDIT: it looks like a full season is 21 episodes which is 63,000 a season.

$63,000 gross and then they have to pay taxes, their agent and manager. It’s not terrible but for NYC, it’s not big money. They must have to hustle during the off weeks and over the summer to supplement their incomes.

Yeah this is nothing in NYC especially for being on a huge show that has been around for so long

[saline_joy]

Yeah, and then add the crazy hours they work on top of that!
