Cloris Leachman said it wasn't about money or the extra fame, it was about her family. She said doing a weekly series was much easier than doing a movie.

She could always get home at a reasonable hour and didn't have to worry about working or changing scripts like she has in movies. She trusted her writers to put together strong scripts.
