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. The other cast members were: Nora Adler (Jacqueline Brookes), Jackie’s editor; Anthony Kubecek (Kevin Dunn), Jackie's assistant; Carol (Holly Fulger), the head waitress at Mike's restaurant, Brennan's Grill; and Rick Scotti (Vincent Baggetta), an attorney who appears occasionally. The series, created by Sara Davidson, was filmed on location in Chicago, Illinois.

"Ready or Not," 1986
Jackie goes to the grocery after meeting Matthew Pearson. She confronts the FBI agent stationed in front of her house whom she evaded earlier. He tells to voluntarily surrender her notes and information on him. Jackie tells him Pearson will be surrendering tomorrow. She arranged an afternoon press conference; the FBI could arrest him then. But the FBI informs Jackie that Pearson has other plans. He has booked flights to Europe under different aliases and had wired the $100,000 book advice Jackie got him to an account in Switzerland. Jackie is shocked and doesn't believe him.
