For the most part,TV actors and actresses were always well paid.However over the past 20 years or so the amount of money they make has skyrocketed.Here's just one example,Charlie Sheen was making about 2 million dollars each episode for 2 1/2 Men.The kid on the show makes something like 300 thousand per episode,plus didn't he get a half million dollar 'signing bonus'.Heck people on these shows nowadays make more money EACH episode than it probably cost to make an entire season of a good program made during lets say the 1960s--and that is adjusted for inflation.--What is your opinion on this?

I have somewhat mixed views on this.For the most part,I think it is rediculous these people are paid so much.And it's not only them but the producers,directors and so on.--If they still made good programs that entertain me,it would not be as big of a deal,even though it would still be rediculous.
