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.

How Long did that series last?

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