"Nine to Five"

In 1980, three powerhouse entertainers joined forces to make one of the funniest comedies of all time. Country singer Dolly Parton, comedian Lily Tomlin, and Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda played three fed-up co-workers who were determined to exact revenge on their sexist boss, played by Dabney Coleman. As of 2011, the film still held the No. 20 spot on Hollywood.com's Highest Grossing Comedies of All Time list.

Two years later, ABC debuted a sitcom of the same name. But Parton, Tomlin, and Fonda had created a legacy that was hard to live up to. The series stars Rachel Dennison, Rita Moreno, and Valerie Curtin didn't find the same success, and production closed up shop in 1983. But the show got another chance in 1986. Moreno had exited the show, and Sally Struthers joined the cast for a syndicated version. But the team got their pink slips two years later, and the series went off the air for good in 1988. less
