I\u00a0had done [an episode of] \u2018Taxi\u2019 a long time before, but I hadn\u2019t done a sitcom. And so, I was really nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Selleck went on to praise Cox for being a \u201cbig help\u201d to him on the show\u2019s set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourteney helped a lot. Courteney\u2019s a big help,\u201d he recalled. \u201cBut that group\u2019s an incredible group of friends. They obviously became friends in life as well as on the show. And it shows.
