If you had a million more dollars a show, what would you do with it?  =
Now, before you say, "I'm happy where I'm at and you should be ashamed =
at asking such a snotty question," think of the possibilities.  You =

the actors a raise.  You could do some really cool explosions.  So... =
what'll it be?

Second question.  What made you decide on the # of shows to do a year.  =
DS9 for instance does 26 I believe.  Dd the number 22 seem right, or is =
that standard TV practice?

22 is what a network needs each season to get its money back.
