business problems tarnishing a beloved franchise always reminds of this quote from jason alexander (no seinfeld royalties were being paid to him, michael richards, or julia loopy-breakfast so he was complaining):
"I said to Jerry when he made the decision years ago to not let us in, 'The day will come when you regret this decision, only because it's going to put us in a position eventually of seemingly tainting the wonderful impression of what this was for the four of us.
"You have created a rift between you and the three of us, and while we are in no way, shape or form looking for parity with you, you have created a chasm that is also inappropriate,' " Alexander recalled.

i believe that the other cast members have now started getting a pretty good chunk of change from the royalties. especially now that hulu has gained the rights to the show for 160 million.
but yeah david and seinfeld totally jewed them out as they began getting syndicated in the early 2000s but i believe that they've since made up.

But honestly nothing will tarnish what a great show it used to be, and as long as everyone is making money off of it I say all the power to them. They're long past the point of ending it gracefully so the only reason to end it now is? They've run out of jokes? It's pretty much become a parody of itself. The writing is sub-par for sure though, which is why I haven't watched in years. I was a religious fan back in the day. Would watch every Sunday night, and two to four episodes almost every day after school. It helped shape my sense of humour and I'll always consider it the best show on television. I have no idea where I'm going with this
