What cast achieved the most individual success after their sitcoms went off the air? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

THough they aren't the most sucessful, The "THree's Company" cast had: Suzanne Somers ("She's the Sheriff", "Step By Step", created the butt and thigh master), John Ritter ("Clifford", "Heart's a Fire", "Hooperman"), Richard Kline ("Inside Swartz"), and Don Knotts

ok, you got me, i guess it does count, but um.. that still doesn't make either of those casts the most succesful after thier show ended, it still doesn't account for the fact that other than nancy mckeon and kim fields, you haven;t heard from any of the other facts cast members, and that the rest of the head cast has all but dissapeared.

although not a sitcom, the cast of The New Mickey Mouse Club has obviously had success, britney spears, christina aguleria, keri Russel, Jc chaseze, and Justin Timberlake.

All in the Family (most of the actors were pretty unknown before the series.
Mary tyler moore (even though she was already famous) the rest of the cast became stars)

I guess you really have to define what you define success as before we can really definitively answer this question. If you asked what cast had the most success as television actors after their series ended (or they left), I guess you'd have to go with "Mary Tyler Moore":

Ed Asner ("Lou Grant")
Valerie Harper ("Rhoda", "Valerie")
Cloris Leachman ("Phyllis", "The Facts of Life")
Gavin MacLeod ("The Love Boat")
John Amos ("Good Times")
Ted Knight ("Too Close For Comfort")
Betty White ("The Golden Girls")
