There is no freaking way this show costs $5 mil per episode. They spend at least half of each episode in the woods or in a slave shack. The other sets must be rented -- old antebellum mansions and such. I'm not sure this show even earns $5 mil per first run episode. I know syndication is a factor here, but I still doubt these numbers.

John Legend WILL find a new home for the show. It's an awesome and important show. I'm thinking OWN or Netflix, maybe even AMC.
