No one from Good Times had another television hit.

What about Janet Jackson on "Fame," lol?

It seems like Valerie Bertinelli has had a bit more success in TV movies and miniseries than in half-hour comedies.

*face palm* "Fame" always escapes me for some reason. I had been thinking about Debbie Allen and the only TV shows for her that came to mind were "In The House" and "Grey's Anatomy".

You know, when I watched the first episode of "In the House," something told me Debbie Allen would not last long on that show. Not that she isn't capable of performing comedy, but she just seemed so out-of-place with LL Cool J and those kids.

Speaking of Fran Drescher, her pre-The Nanny tv show career was interesting to me.

Charmed Lives - A failed spin-off of Who's the Boss that starred her and Donna Dixon.

Princesses - Basically a Who Wants to Marry A Millonaire type show about three women living in a New York Penthouse rent free and trying to live life/rebuild their lives. The backstage issues were more exciting than the product we saw onscreen.. but Drescher was the stand out (She played a more subdued Fran Fine type character).

Of her post The Nanny tv shows, my favorite was Happily Divorced where she was the 'straight man' reacting to the craziness around her (And Rita Moreno was hilarious as her mom).

I never saw Indebted though... can't imagine her and Steven Weber as a married couple LOL
