[QUOTE="bmasters9, post: 276727, member: 77"] One that does for me is when Michael Douglas (who had started a long and fruitful career in films that continues to this day, by being a producer on the 1975 UA classic [I]One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest[/I]) left [I]The Streets of San Francisco[/I] after four gos on that ABC police procedural from 1972-76 as Insp.
