Is Hester broke?

This will never last 20 years.

Well, I wasn't really implying that it would, but it certainly has the qualities of a show that people watch:

1) a regular ensemble of characters with a variety of annoying (and/or attractive) characteristics.
2) a soap opera atmosphere of competitive nature with twists and turns.
3) introductions of new puzzles both in goods and people.
4) etc.

I think it will go another year or so...maybe more, maybe less...but not soon enough!

I was watching longmire and a sw commercial came on saying ... While the couples squabble will Jeff make the big score ... (Hester replacement whom I despise) and then later another commercial saying.... While the couples squabble will Dave make the big score ... Then cuts to him going through a locker finding what appears to be stock certificates ... So I think Dave is back officially and with his new contract is def far from broke.  Goodbye Jeff. Hopefully forever.

I think that auction house he invested A LOT in bombed.

and hes trying to make it up.


but he aint been buying like he used to and always talking about his money being tied up.

Hester wins a locker in an upcoming episdode....either July 10 or July 17, 2012.

May have been taped before the dust-up about his salary on SW, but time will tell if he lasts or not.

And like everything else in life....there is death. Of course a show like Law and Order lasted 20 years and so have many soap operas.

I would think that all contracts were settled before any taping was done in season 3.  There will only be 18 shows in season  3 so the season is almost half over already.  How is his auction house doing these days ?  The last show he was on he was driving by a much bigger warehouse that he wanted but it was already rented out.
