Are there any other example of actors who were forced to do a TV show
In this particular case, Doris Day was forced to do The Doris Day Show because before her husband died, he had signed a contract with a network about her doing a sitcom and she only found that out after he died.
That's why she did The Doris Day Show from 1968 to 1974 and when the 5 year contract was up, she quit, even though the show was still doing well in the ratings. |

Not that I'm aware of. But Doris sure was a trooper! She did the show and got herself out of the debt her loser husband got her into!

That contract wouldn't have been legal if Doris didn't sign it herself.
