Modern Family Drops Lawsuit 

The cast of "Modern Family" has dropped their lawsuit and is back to work after settling their contract dispute.

The "Hollywood Reporter" says that five of the adult stars: Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet andSofia Vergara will receive $175,000 per episode for the upcoming fourth season.

That's roughly $4.2 million each for a standard 24-episode season.  They'll also get a small cut of the show's profits, although it's unclear how much that is.

Their salaries will increase to around $350,000 an episode by the show's eighth season.  That's about $8.4 million for the season.

Ed O'Neill had a higher pay scale than the other adult stars because he was the biggest "name" coming into the show.  But the new deal brings his salary "in line" with the rest of the cast.  However, he's getting a bigger cut of the show's profits.

The cast made between $60,000 and $105,000 per episode LAST season.  In exchange for the bump, the cast extended their deals for another year.  Before the agreement, the cast was locked in through seven seasons.  Now, they're in for eight.
