It’s arduous to think about a time when Ted Danson wasn’t on TV. In any case, he spent a whopping 11 seasons enjoying Sam Malone on Cheers, six years as Dr. John Becker on Becker, and, extra lately, took on the a part of a 6,000-foot tall tentacled fireplace demon who’s taken on the type of a 6-foot-2 silver fox in The Good Place.
To not point out the truth that he usually popped up on Curb Your Enthusiasm, effortlessly inhabiting what was maybe his best position so far: Ted Danson.
Do not Miss
Now Danson has a model new present popping out: A Man on the Inside. Whereas it might sound just like the title of a self-help e-book written by Tobias Fünke, it’s really a brand new Netflix comedy that reteams Danson with The Good Place and Parks and Recreation producer Mike Schur.
A Man on the Inside is reportedly an adaptation of The Mole Agent, an acclaimed 2021 documentary a few senior citizen who finally ends up working as a spy for a non-public detective.
This new present might be an enormous deal for Danson, not simply because it has the potential to be a success amongst the “mother and father utilizing their grownup youngsters’s Netflix passwords” demographic, however as a result of Danson has now allegedly overwhelmed the file for having starred in probably the most scripted TV sequence of all time.
In response to Forbes, Danson has topped the file beforehand held by the late Robert Urich, the star of reveals like Spenser: For Rent and S.W.A.T., with this his thirteenth recurring position in a TV present. Yeah, it’s straightforward to neglect that Danson starred in short-lived sitcoms like Ink (alongside along with his spouse, Mary Steenburgen) and Assist Me Assist You, in addition to dramatic turns in reveals like Damages and CSI.
And, in fact, Danson co-starred within the woefully below appreciated HBO comedy-mystery sequence Bored to Dying, alongside Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis.
Opposite to Forbes’ declare that Danson is now the record-holder, some have claimed that Urich’s file consists of fifteen TV reveals, which might imply that Danson continues to be barely in need of dethroning the Love Boat: The Subsequent Wave star. Forbes itself beforehand reported that Urich’s magic quantity to beat was 14. Though that tally might be counting TV mini-series like Lonesome Dove.
Others have steered that Urich had main roles in simply 12 TV reveals, which would imply that Danson has gained the file. Perusing his credit, I depend 13 TV scripted reveals wherein Urich usually appeared. Perhaps some people don’t depend the Emeril Lagasse sitcom Emeril, purely as a result of they’re attempting very arduous to neglect it ever existed.
So maybe Danson and Urich are tied? In that case, Danson solely has to make yet one more present to unequivocally beat the file as soon as and for all. Except ABC decides to reboot Spenser: For Rent with a CGI Robert Urich.
