Michael J. Fox found success after "Family Ties" with "Spin City". Of course he had to leave that for health reasons.
Demond Wilson did "Baby...I'm Back!" post Sanford and Son. It got decent ratings, but was apparently canceled because Norman Lear wanted another season of "Good Times". Unlike a lot of shows that feature acts from massive hits, Wilson had a supporting cast that was fairly decent (Denise Nicholas and Helen Martin). A few years later he started in "The New Odd Couple" with Ron Glass, but a writers strike forced the show to recycle episodes from the original series and it was canceled because it didn't find an audience even after original scripts were written.
Pernell Roberts had a good run of seven years with "Trapper John MD" years after he left "Bonanza".
"Nurse" was very short lived, but it did net Michael Learned a fourth Emmy after three others for "The Waltons".
