Ah! Now we get how this show has managed to stay on the air for 10 years:
The studio is stiffing the creators!
Miles Miller and Alfred Gough, helmed the longtime WB/CW show Smallville back in 2001 and on Friday, they filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. claiming they have been under-paid and cheated out of millions of dollars.
Though the show has never been a ratings hit or money-maker, the audience following is strong and the suit claims that Warner Bros. doesn’t sell the show for fair-market price to its own networks. They are calling it “unfair self-dealing.”
Our question is … What the hell took you so long? It’s been ten years and this only occurred to you now?
Hmm. Looks like some people are just trying to suck out the last bit of $$$ before their show flies off into syndication.
