I'd be surprised (of course, a lot of this has been a surprise) if NBC offered severance to the crew of a cancelled TV series. I seem to recall TNT did something along those lines when Robert Urich was diagnosed with cancer while starring in "Lazarus Man" (anyone remember that PR nightmare?), but I can't recall any other instance, and as punch drunk as the network executives must be by now, I can't imagine them wanting to establish the precedent. An actor forking over some cash to the crew is, though uncommon, still heard of in the industry. But does anyone know of a network doing so? -- Kevin M. (RPCV)
