Jodie Sweetin Says Streaming Cut Full House Residuals to 1 Cent as Eve Plumb Reports Nearly $0

Jodie Sweetin said she recently received a 1-cent residual check for Full House, saying streaming has largely replaced the syndication payouts actors once relied on.
Eve Plumb, 68, echoed that complaint while promoting her memoir, saying The Brady Bunch has generated virtually no meaningful residuals despite decades of reruns.
Plumb's case is also tied to older TV payment rules: previous reports said the 1969-1974 sitcom fell under pre-1975 contracts that limited residuals to the first 10 reruns.
The contrast is stark across Hollywood, with Lisa Kudrow indicating Friends cast members still collect about $20 million a year from residuals while many streaming-era performers say payments have dried up.
