Me too. A friend of mine wrote most of the scripts for that show. Every few years he gets a royalty check for about $40, so someone must be showing it somewhere.

I was a big fan of Lizanne Truex, that little blonde pixie in the movie "Oklahoma!". I eventually got in phone contact with her a few years before she died of pancreatic cancer. Among our many conversations, she'd mention that she just got another royalty check for $2.50 and said she figured that somewhere in the world, that movie was shown.

What amazes me is that this royalty business seems to be on the up and up, and yet I wonder who keeps track of all the airings that generate these payments?
