I'm so confused about Rob and Laura's financial situation. How is it that Rob being the head writer on a very popular television show that has 40 million viewers (The Big Bang Theory and I believe CSI averaged around 17 million regular viewers and they paid some of their actors a million dollars per episode) so how is it that Rob is paid so bad that they haven't had $2,100 in months? And several episodes where Buddy and Sally are always saying they aren't paid enough and threaten to quit if they don't get a raise. I read that tv writers typically made around $1,500 per script in the 1960's. That would be around $14,000 or $15,000 buying power today. It's insane that the money for Rob and his co-writers would be so low.

[@cjb8010]

I think free-lancers were more common then, and probably commanded the prices you mention. I would guess that staffs of writers were salaried and not paid by the script.

Verisimilitude (pronounced ve-ri-si-mi-li-tude) is a theoretical concept that determines the level of truth in an assertion or hypothesis. It is also one of the most essential literary devices of fiction writing. Verisimilitude helps to promote a reader’s willing suspension of disbelief. When using verisimilitude in writing, the goal is to be credible and convincing.
