WHITFIELD: So they were happy back in the day, but now some cast members from one of America's most beloved sitcom "Happy Days," are livid. They're suing the shows owners saying they are owed millions from merchandise with their images or voices. This really got the legal guys talking.</s>RICHARD HERMAN, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: It was prompted by the slot machine "Happy Days," and apparently CBS has acknowledged they do owe them a lot of money. There may be a partial statute of limitations issue, but they are clearly owed a lot of money. If the Fonz would chime in.</s>WHITFIELD: Not millions of the cast members say they want, but CBS is saying maybe thousands?</s>HERMAN: Right. Yes, that's going to be the discrepancy. But obviously, it's a lot of money.</s>AVERY FRIEDMAN, CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY: The bottom line, there's a lot of money involved here. I think, based on those revenue reports which is what they wanted from CBS and for some reason, CBS hasn't turned them over.</s>WHITFIELD: Interesting. So then CBS says you know it is open to mediation. To me that sound like, Richard there's a lot of wiggle room that maybe that $9,000 could indeed become millions?</s>HERMAN: Hey Fred just like the segment before. We talked about contracts. There's a contract that says they're entitled to 5 percent of the merchandising revenue. It says it, it's in the contract. They're entitled to money. The only question is how much? But they're absolutely going to win this case.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. Our legal guys, Richard and Avery, catch them every Saturday at noon Eastern right here in the "CNN News room."
