In 2000 I learned that each new SpongeBob episode recouped its ENTIRE PRODUCTION COST by the middle of the second commercial break in its premiere airing. We didn't (and still don't) get residuals.

Also, there’s likely never going to be another massive Simpsons or SpongeBob-level global juggernaut. They’re from a different media era, with fewer channels, no streaming, less competition from games and none from social media, etc. You simply can’t get an audience that big now.

@onyichii We weren't a union shop then... and the 839 was a crap union. It's better now, but industry "tradition" says TV cartoon makers aren't worthy of sharing the fruits of their labor. A few individual shows have reversed that, but not the industry as a whole.
