In 2016, the principal cast earned about $1 million per episode, although there were reports they accepted a pay cut to ensure other cast members got rises.
2016年，剧中几位主演每集的片酬约为100万美元（约合684万元人民币），不过有报道说，他们还接受了降薪，以确保其他演员能够涨薪。
Entertainment Weekly report that these large pay packets and the show's many years on the air meant it was probably the most expensive show to produce on television - which may explain why it was not picked up for a 13th season.
《娱乐周刊》报道说，该剧演员片酬高，还连续数年播放，或许是电视上播出的最贵美剧，这可能是该剧即将完结的原因。
