My post about Scrubs got me wondering, what other shows excite you guys? It’s finale time, and I’m wondering what final episodes you’ll be watching. TV.com has a great poll on the exact same topic. So go over there (be sure to vote for HIMYM) and vote for your faves. Then come back here and talk about the shows you’re excited about in the comments.

I’ll go first.

What would you pay for a walk on role? To be someone in the bar on an episode of HIMYM, or maybe to be a corpse on an episode of CSI. What’s it worth to you?

Time for another finance/TV poll. This time I’m curious what you’re willing to spend on DVDs/downloads of your favorite shows.

How Much Would You Spend on a Single Season DVD for a Show You Love

What’s the most you’d pay per-episode for a show through a service like iTunes?

Again, take these only if you want to. And if you have a minute, connect your facebook account with FiLife so you can see how your friends answered the same poll.

Once I’m done posting all my polls I have something cool to share with you guys as a thank you.

Full disclosure, I work for FiLife. We created a custom polling application (hehe, polling) called The Stacker. I embedded some in my recap preview but wanted to do some more that tie together HIMYM and finance. Please take a moment to share your opinion. I’ll be posting these from time to time on the site.

How Much Do Actors in an Ensemble Series Deserve to be Paid?

For this specifically I was thinking of the lead actors on HIMYM but it could be for any ensemble based show. What’s a reasonable salary to be paid per episode? Let’s assume a 22 episode season so total salary for a year is 22xper episode value.

If you have two minutes you can go to FiLife and use your Facebook account to connect. Why? Because you can then share the stackers you take with your friends. It’s really cool, but totally voluntary.

Thanks!

Note: This might be my favorite HIMYM picture to use in posts. I don’t know why, but it might have something to do with that awesome bikini shirt.

With no new episode this week there doesn’t have to be silence on the HIMYM topic. Here’s a bunch of news items and thoughts about the show I’ve been ruminating but haven’t had the chance to post. Please do weigh in with your thoughts in the comments (like I even have to say that anymore!)
