There is probably a painfully simple answer to this, but I need help. I wish to add budget info to my pitch deck and want to use comparable shows' budgets. Where is the easiest place to find that info? I can't seem to find it on IMDB.

I found this video helpful:  (21 minutes, from a producer in Australia)

ADDENDUM:

I'm mired in this same problem for a few of my projects right now, so another idea is using Amazon.com as per this short video (free):

... and IMDBpro, which I'm experimenting with as well (not free).  

For either of these, you'd still likely have to use the approach in the first video (above) to find the budget and box office (The Numbers or Box Office Mojo).

Personally, I really hate this job because we all try to write stuff that's unique, yet the "industry" always wants to know what our beloved art is "similar to"!

Cheers, Steve. That Youtube video applies to films but gives me a great starting point.
