Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike. It was about a young 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 newspaper. Her husband was Mike Brennan (played by Tom Mason), a successful restaurateur. The series was one of the most promising shows in the 1986 fall TV lineup. The trailer for the 5th original episode of the series "Quality of Mercy" is currently on YouTube (Check out: WABC-TV 7 [ABC - New York, NY] Commercials (October 8, 1986)... thank you Mitchell's Video Vault for posting) In the episode, Mike's friend, Malcolm, is on trial for killing his wife, who was terminally ill. He contends it was mercy killing but Jackie doesn't believe him. Stuart Whitman guest starred as Malcolm. Lara Flynn Boyle played Leslie.
