Although the two shows were completely separate, Night Court (1984) was cancelled in 1992 when her character Christine Sullivan, leaving for Washington DC, and Hearts Afire (1992) started in the same year, with Post being a character who was not her own Georgie Lahti. The character was also a part of Washington DC (and later moving to a town that was smaller).
