- All-Star Cast: The closest a TV show has ever come to this: Glenn Close (how many other series can you name that have five time Oscar nominee for their star?), William Hurt, Martin Short, Marcia Gay Harden, Campbell Scott, Lily Tomlin, John Goodman and Ted Danson have all had regular roles on the series and there's not another show on TV with that kind of roster outside of its one off guest cast list.
- Career Resurrection: For Ted Danson. While he hadn't completely gone away after Cheers he had sort of fallen into has been territory with parts in unsuccessful films, a failed sitcom (Ink), a fairly unpopular one (Becker) and cameos as himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm. However, when the first season of Damages made it onto the air though, critics couldn't stop talking about his surprisingly strong dramatic performance as Arthur Frobisher which gained Danson his first Emmy nomination in 15 years (including two more for his guest appearances in the subsequent seasons).
- This renewed exposure also helped gain him a supporting role in the HBO sitcom Bored to Death and in the fall of 2011, he took the lead role on CSI.
