Kelsey Grammer’s role on Frasier was a mixed one as she was considered the serious one yet with a hysterical touch under the role of Frasier Crane. It started on Cheers and has done for over 20 years. This new spin-off of the series featured a continuation of the storyline of the actors family based in Seattle – their hometown. As the episodes went on, they attracted new fans with each passing day.
In 2004, after 11 successful series, the show came to an end. Leading up to the final episodes, it was reported Grammer earned an average of $1.6 million per episode. Fast forward more than 20 years later, and this series is still pocketing the actor a handsome $13 million per year from reruns.

Two and a Half Men got so many critics during its time on screen, but amidst all those negative feedbacks, it continued to soar and stood out among fans all over the world. Its original aired time went between 2003 to 2015, and even after the last episode in February 2015, fans are still pushing for it to stay on screen. The series ran for 12 seasons, and we have to say they do pay out nice dividend checks – most of which goes to their original cast members to include Jon Cryer, Angus T., and Charlie Sheen.
As the series went on, so did Cryer’s salary for each episode go up. He reportedly earns an average of $620,000 per episode, and rumors are circulating that there could be some spin-off plans, but it depends on the top players in the series production.
