Is Ted Danson the GOAT of TV?

The Ringer

Is Danson the greatest TV actor of all time? "This time last year, Danson was starring in the climactic episodes of the fourth and final season of The Good Place, the series that helped him earn his 16th, 17th, and 18th Primetime Emmy nominations (including a record 14 for a lead actor in a comedy). Now he’s embarking on another prime-time project, nearly 40 years after Cheers charmed a Thursday evening audience for the first time in September 1982. In the intervening decades, Danson has rarely allowed much time to elapse between roles. Maybe Bremer never thought he’d be standing in front of the cameras again, but it would be weird if Danson weren’t on the air," says Ben Lindbergh, adding: "Fifty years into his acting career, it would be difficult for any TV viewer not to have seen Danson work. In fact, he’s worked more than almost any other actor of his ilk. And although nobody needed convincing that the 73-year-old Danson could still anchor a sitcom cast, Mr. Mayor proves that Danson’s not done bolstering his case as the GOAT of TV."
