    I tell ya dues..the Dick Van Dyke Show has 6 names listed under producer.

    One of the big sitcoms nowadays,Ghosts has 37.


    THIRTY SEVEN!!

    You would think having all those producers might cause a problem!!! (them not agreeing on something)

    Listing cast members as producers indicates they share a part of the show's profits.

    Like say Brad Pitt getting 5% or some such.

    So somewhere along the line, each of those producers share some of the revenue.
