Shelley starred in her third TV series Jack and Mike in 1986. It was about a married yuppie couple trying to balance career and married life. It was an especially hard adjustment for women at the time because, after the women's movement in the 1970s, more women had joined the workforce and were getting higher positions in companies which resulted in less time for their families. Jackie Shea, Shelley's character, was one them. A high-profile journalist in Chicago, Jackie had to learn how to balance her work and home life.
