Production costs?

[speedroc]

Does anyone know of a site where i can find the average production costs for TV shows?I remember reading ALIAS' budget is about 2 mil per ep,and i wanted to know how that compares to other shows like CSI,24 etc.

2 mill per episode..that sounds about right. I know Jen's salary per episode of Alias for S3 was 150K. Not too shabby if you ask me. 2 mill. So once Alias gets canceled by ABC, I'll need 44 million bucks a year to keep it going. Haha.. That's gonna be a lot of money laundering I"ll be doing.

The premier ep cost 3.6 million buckaroos this season

That's because it was a double episode though, wouldn't it be?

Maybe, but Kristen (the lady at E online who reported it) used the word 'whopping' like it was an unusually large amout
