Has any other TV actor ever had starring roles in three different shows as good as Jeffrey Tambor? I can't think of any.

Ted Danson.

ETA:

Cheers

Becker

Damages

CSI

Bored to Death

Fargo

And a smaller role in Curb.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Bryan Cranston starred in two (Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle) and guest starred in another (Seinfeld).

 

[urbanhack]

Woody Harrelson?

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Betty White

Mary Tyler Moore Show

Golden Girls

Hot in Cleveland

Mama's Family

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

People should list the shows because I'm having a hard time with some. Tambor's got Larry Sanders, Arrested Development, and Transparent.

 

[Michael Brown]

The Hoff did Knight Rider and Baywatch, and I'm about 98% sure there's something on the horizon that'll turn out to be pure gold

 

[Michael Brown]

Bob Newhart? A little before my time so I don't know if they were all hits

 

[JoeSteeler]

Bill Bixby

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

STARRING

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Bob Newhart? A little before my time so I don't know if they were all hits

Bob Newart Show and Newhart are all-time classics, I believe he is also sometimes in The Big Bang Theory but I don't watch the show so can't say it is good or if he stars in it.

 

[Amused to Death]

Katey Sagal (Married With Children, Futurama, Sons of Anarchy).

Andy Griffin

Threes Company

Matlock

 

[whoknew]

David Tennant - Dr. Who, Broadchurch, Jessica Jones

 

[Aerial Assault]

Shatner - Star Trek, T.J. Hooker, and The Practice/Boston Legal. T.J. Hooker was a good show and is very underrated.

I doesn't take long for these threads to get to the point where people are just listing anything that might qualify. Always takes less than a page - see the Sci Fi movie thread.
