Big name stars are a precious commodity for TV networks. Unlike movies, which require fans to travel to a cinema to watch a film, televisions are found in every household. By just tuning in, viewers effect ratings, which then decide advertising rates. The bigger the star and show on a given network, the more money the network can earn from eager advertisers.
