Joanna Lumley
We do not blame you if you are not familiar with Absolutely Fabulous. It was a sitcom that was on the air in the ‘90s and early ‘00s. It revealed that the residual checks of the show still come in at around $45 a year. The show was pretty popular when it was broadcasted by BBC Two and BBC One. The first series came out in 1992 and raked in the most in residuals. The final episode of the show came out a decade after that. Jennifer Saunders wrote it. There was a total of 39 episodes by the end of it. It was fun to watch the seven specials that featured the hilarious middle-aged ladies of the series.

Matthew Perry
Lastly, we have the final cast member of Friends. Matthew Perry charmed us on the show, which came to an end in May 2004. It was hard to say goodbye to the sitcom that has stolen our hearts! Warner Bros. has the rights to the show’s reruns, and you can catch them on Nickelodeon. The stars all get equal amounts in residuals. Perry and his five costars each bring home $20 million every year from reruns. You can watch the old episodes on both cable TV and streaming platforms. According to the actor, however, he has no interest in joining a reunion project. We do not doubt that his fans were devastated to hear him say such a thing.
