Shelley starred in her third TV series Jack and Mike in 1986. The series explored the life of journalist Jackie Shea (played by Shelley) and restauranteur Mike Brennan (played Tom Mason), a married couple with busy careers trying to make their marriage work. "It's about a modern woman who is doing something her contemporaries are doing - holding down a job and keeping a relationship," Shelley explained. "The real focus will be on the marriage and how two people who work cope and how their professional entanglements affect them," Tom Mason added. To distinguish it from other shows airing at the time, the series was set and filmed on location in Chicago, Illinois.
