Just 10 years ago, six barely known faces walked onto the set at Warner Brothers and started a little show called 'Friends.' Each took home a paycheck for $6,500 per episode. Wow, inflation...

Last season made the news when the cast demanded $1 million each per episode and the studio couter-offered with $750,000. Well, Warner must have decided to give them a going away present for the last season as each of the cast will earn a nice mill per show.

Humm, let's see. That's something like a 15,000% raise.
