:), ya know what I heared.. that they all had signed a contract for seven seasons.. don't know if I heard it right though.. *hmm*

Yeah I also heard that, but I am positive that a contract has something in it that gives security to ABC when rating suddenly go down. I mean, ABC would not risk to loose money, so if the ratings go down ABC can easily break that contract. And even if ABC would have to pay for breaking it, the loose of money would be lower then 4 years of an unsuccessful show.

Did it make sense?! LOL
