Yes, and this has been a thing now for at least a couple of years now according to my dad. My neighbor believe it or not actually had one of those himself.
INCREDIBLE, that Disney is telling the show creators that a show like Home Improvement, which grossed a whopping $1.5 billion dollars over the last 29 years, hasn't yet made enough to give them a piece of the profits. Really *****y Hollywood accounting. What the studios are always fearful of is that during the trial, they'll have to open up the books and reveal all the money that the shows have actually made, what percentages the studio and network made, and how they define what "profit" is.
