Full House was a smashing success in its time, which makes it that much more surprising at just how pitiful the actors’ residuals actually are. The residuals only come in around $2,000 per actor each year.

The show actually cost $1.3 million to make each episode during its later seasons, though even with consistently high ratings, producers still couldn’t afford to keep the showing going, deciding to end the series in 1995.
