Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike. It was about a married yuppie couple living in Chicago, trying to find time for each other in their busy schedules. Shelley played Jackie Shea, a star columnist at The Mirror, a widely-circulated Chicago paper. Her column was awaited by everyone every week. Her husband was Mike Brennan (played by Tom Mason), a successful restaurateur about to open his third restaurant. In the episode "High Anxiety," Jackie tries to steer a talented graffiti artist towards a more conventional artistic path. Also, a famed comedy team that frequents Mike's restaurant brings in so much business, as well as other things. The episode was originally aired in November 11, 1986.

To continue, Jackie goes into town to meet with the graffiti artist who left her the huge artwork that could be viewed from her office window. She takes a cab and goes to the place where she is to meet Sam. She runs into a group of boys painting graffiti art on to the side of a truck. She asks them for Sam and they all scamper away, afraid they might get arrested... all except one. Jackie admires the unfinished artwork then goes over to talk to the lone street artist who stayed. As it turns out, graffiti artist Sam is girl, and she was expecting Jackie, who informs Sam that she couldn't resist the huge invitation she left for her across her office window.
