X-Files is still huge!

Even 2 years after it's over, it still has a huge following. CBS airs it every Saturday night at 11 pm, and they rented out a huge billboard in a very high traffic area to advertise that. Scully and Mulder must be swimming in all that royalty money. TNT shows it every night, and so does the Sci-Fi channel.

Just thought I would share this and have some others marvel at this show with me.
 
Right as you get off the bay bridge in San Francisco, there's a billboard on the left advertising "Ellen" on a local station.

It's not CBS, it's YOUR LOCAL CBS affiliate. I doubt if either actor, especially Gillian Anderson, receives much of the syndication money. The person getting rich is Chris Carter since he created the show. Duchovny and Anderson may have negotiated some piece of the syndication money late in the show's run, but all they're guaranteed get is a small (by Hollywood standards) residual check everytime it airs.

This is the reason all the Seinfeld actors not named Seinfeld held out for so much money. Jerry receives a huge amount of syndication money that they don't, that's why they wanted big salaries per episode. Same thing with Everybody Loves Raymond, Ray Romano owns a piece of the show so he's set for life, I think Brad Garret got a small percentage when he held out this year. The real money is in getting a stake in the ownership of a hit show, this is where the money gets astronomical.
