And of course Mary's two failed variety shows, airing not long after the other, both featuring Michael Keaton. Keaton also had two short-lived sitcoms in 1979 and 1982. All four of these shows aired on CBS. Once Night Shift became a hit I envision whoever was pushing him at CBS simultaneously feeling proud and pissed as hell.
I watched the three episodes of her first variety show earlier this year and it's a very odd experience. I'm not sure if they are on Youtube or not.
A year or two before she had also done a very odd special, in parts a late '60s hangover, the finished product being the result of unhappy network changes.
Among other things I have no idea being her idea or their idea is hippie chick Mary dancing to a fiddle, Mary as a German Axis dominatrix, Mary gussied up as a Company lady to struggle with "I'm Still Here," and the Manhattan Transfer leading us through Hell, Henry Kissinger, and a nuclear holocaust.
