Over the course of 40-plus years, actor Ted Danson has played a lead character in 11 TV series and most of them (seven) weren’t very good and/or were short-lived. However, five of them (eight if you count three incarnations of “CSI”) are exceptional. “Cheers,” “CSI,” “Becker,” “Damages,” and “The Good Place” solidified Danson’s position as one of TV’s most dependable and versatile performers.
