Thanks for the welcome to the board, Tino.
No assumptions, Tino, it is just looking at the evidence and being a follower of Howard forever. I put forth all facts in the previous post. The "Son Of The Beach" DVD release is the best proof when it comes to Howard and DVDs. He used to devote entire radio shows to promoting each episode when they aired on Tuesday nights. Cast members, guest stars would all be in Howard's studio promoting the hell out of the TV episode to air that night. Reason: Howard was executive producer, Howard had his hand in the till. Yet, when the DVD of "Son Of A Beach" came out, absolutely not one word from Howard. Reason: Howard did not get the sweetheart deal he wanted out of the DVD sales.
Howard recently said he was going to put out a record by Johnny Knoxville's country-bumpkin cousin. It never happened and Knoxville revealed the reason why -- Howard wanted an outrageous percentage of the profits. Not the artist singing the song, but Howard wanted the larger take. That's true and that is the way Howard operates.
A similar issue was just settled with the cast of "Seinfeld." I'm sure you know the supporting players were being denied profits in DVD sales so they balked on Special Feature participation. Thankfully it was settled in the cast's favor, but this seems to be a problem that is now arising due to the phenomenal sales of DVDs. What cut of DVD sales profit are cast members entitled to? Howard believes it is 110%.
