I only found out just now that a) Mary tried multiple failed sitcoms post-MTM and b) that widely-hated "Mary and Rhoda" TV movie from the 2000s was actually a write-off of a Mary and Rhoda series order when ABC hated the pilot script.
I would also be remiss to not point out that the sleepy Becker era aside, Ted Danson's real comeback began with his breakout dramatic role as an Enron-esque tycoon on the underrated FX show Damages with Rose Byrne and Glenn Close, where he got rave reviews and suddenly started doing everything again afterwards. He was amazing.
I think either Danson or his talented wife Mary Steenburgen had some very incisive, smart comments about why Ink failed and why it was likely unwise to pair them together onscreen in an A.V. Club Random Roles interview, or somewhere else like that some years ago.
