Ted Knight's Final Work Was On An '80s Series That Nobody Talks About Today

Key Points:

• Ted Knight, known for his roles in "Get Smart" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," starred as Henry Rush in the sitcom "Too Close for Comfort" from 1980 to 1987, appearing in all 129 episodes.
• The show, a family sitcom set in San Francisco, focused on Henry, his wife Muriel, and their two daughters, providing comedic family conflicts without redefining the sitcom genre.
• Originally airing on ABC, "Too Close for Comfort" was canceled after three seasons due to low ratings but gained popularity in syndication on Fox, leading to the production of additional seasons.
• In its final season, renamed "The Ted Knight Show," the series saw major changes with the family relocating and the daughters written out; the show ended after Knight's death in 1986.
• All six seasons of "Too Close for Comfort" are currently available for streaming on Peacock, Pluto, and Fandango.
