What a bitch.

Actors are paid a good wage to do their series, but ultimately the product belongs to the studios. Whether the actors should get a piece of the DVD revenues, I don’t know. But considering TV shows have been released on DVD for a long time, if Lauren wanted to be paid for any time needed to record something, she should have had that written into her contract. Is it too much to ask for her to give a little something back to her fans?

I haven’t seen a Scrubs commentary yet, but I’d love to.

My favorite commentaries are by Joss Whedon whenever he did Buffy episodes, he’s funny and smart. Esp. loved the “Once More With Feeling” and the “Chosen” one (no pun intended).
Firefly commentaries are also very good, and most of the cast have done one! So funny and informative.

[...] The recent debate surrounding the GILMORE GIRLS DVD controversy has gotten this TV Addict thinking. What are your favorite TV shows on DVD based purely on the DVD commentary? Some of my personal favorites include NEWSRADIO, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and SCRUBS. All of which include fantastic cast and creative team commentaries. Commentaries that are not only insightful, but funny, entertaining and really make fans feel like the cast and creative team loved being apart of the show. Post away with your favorites — as with the summer TV season (ie. reality TV) kicking into high gear, this TV Addict’s suddenly found himself with a lot of free time on his hands. [...]

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for actors making money. But a the very least, she could have given us one forty-four minute commentary per season. We are, afterall shelling out 50+ bucks for the DVD set.”

And she gets none of the “50+ bucks”, so don’t complain to her about not getting your money’s worth.

Does anyone else just love the irony. For seven years she played a character who ran away from the GILMORE lifestlye — ie. money. Yet in real life, she’s all about the Benjamins.

Geez I still can’t get over the fact that LG is not a selfless artist. She likes money, a lot… Call me naive, but I hadn’t pictured her that way.

“I hope you know how gruelling her work hours are (16+), and she mentioned that she missed all major events that occured during those seven years of GG (e.g. births & weddings).”

I feel so bad for her, with her millions of dollars and her constant breaks from filming in that 16 hour day, and her weeks and months off from shooting. Yeah, it must be awful for her.

I mean, c’mon now. Although I don’t see why actors shouldn’t get paid for doing DVD work, they should still do it for the fans that have given them jobs for 7 years. If it weren’t for the fans, Gilmore Girls would’ve ended after 22 episodes.

Cut her some slacks, she doesn’t exist to please your fan wishes.

I saw her on Leno and she seemed so happy to be spending some time with her loved ones that I can see why most actors don’t agree to do commentaries.
(And she may earn a fair amount of money, but in no way is she super rich)

Lauren Graham reason is probably the same as to why Sarah Michelle Gellar never did anything extra for the Buffy DVDs. Seriously those people make more a day than some people will do in a year and they make that money because we, the fans, watch our TV and we enjoy TV show. Without house, every show would be cancelled after 2 episodes … LG just showed again that she is probably not as nice and kind and friendly as she seems. Anyway, we all know Alexis and Lauren did not come back because of money reason and not because they want to do something else. See ya both on dancing with the stars in a couple of years Lauren and Alexis.
