Did anyone else notice that after Cheers four of its stars went to do a tv show at CBS?

1. Shelley Long~ Good Advice
2. Rhea Perlman~ "PEARL"
3. Ted Danson~ Becker
4. George Wendt- The George Wendt Show

Well I did notice Ted went to star in Becker but I never knew the other three went to CBS. Doesn't really matter since the other 3 had there shows cancelled. I'm assuming that becuase I never seen those shows.

Looking at that list, I noticed one show was forgotten. In 1996, Ted Danson made what was supposed to be his big comeback. It was a sitcom called Ink, in which he co-starred with his wife Mary Steenburgen. They played a decade-long divorced couple who ended up working at the same newspaper in New York. Sam and Diane-type sparks where supposed to fly, but didn't.

All of 1 season I believe. Ink was one of those shows that were pulled when sweeps time was around.
