I'd forgotten about Ted Danson's work on "Damages." Of course, that's likely because I haven't seen much of the show (just an episode here or there). But I do think it was a fantastic opportunity for Close to reunite and work again with several of her former, on-screen co-stars, including Danson and (IIRC) William Hurt.
Yeah, I'm still mad that "Mary and Rhoda" never made it to series, because I think the concept had "juice." I even had plotted out a spec script where Mary begins dating one of Rhoda's exes (specifically, restaurateur Mike Andretti, hopefully played again by Judd Hirsch) in the hopes that the series would get picked up. But as soon as I'd heard that Jeff Lowell and Tom Fontana (!) had written the script, I had a very bad feeling, lol.
Not quite. Remember "New York News," the one-hour series that was so bad, MTM tried to get out of her contract before CBS decided to cancel the show anyway? After that, though, she was done with series television.
