Life Begins.Yu are in the drivers seat...do you feel like you cant bear all of this following.It sometimes is a little baby learning experience.Familiar faces.Familiar places.Things that could never happen.Stuff you shouldn't do.Combined for fun.Sometimes its a torrid love affair.Sometimes a "long chain of events".the great and right on trendy stuff, wonderful memories, forgettable brushes with a lack of planning over whelmed by lack of output ....living breathing shared experiences...... A JOURNEY.and as we all know life is a journey not a destination.this is what I want!to see! To feel.Cybil, tho not the first of its kind may inspire you to start "living."

Although I was never aware of this show while it run during it's 95 thru 98 seasons I have caught all the reruns on the TV Guide Channel. I wish I had know of it back then so that I could have written and had begged for them to keep it going. It truly was a laugh a minute series. The chemistry between all the actors was so well casted but I have to say that the writing and the back and forth of Cybill and Mary Ann was magic. I have always loved both these actresses but I have to say that Christine Beranski's talents have been so underrated. I would love it if they were to ever bring it back or even just do an anniversary show. Does anyone know why it wasn't renewed? Bad time slot? Network decision? I always thought that Cybill would had been a much better lead in the movie version of Mama Mia. Wonder if she was every considered.

... it isn't actually as rampantly egotistical as it initially might sound. As American comedies go, it's not up there with the likes of "Frasier", but it's gently amusing enough at times. Shepherd's chemistry with her co-stars here almost recaptures the heydays of "Moonlighting", and Alicia Witt as her understudy proved herself to be an able comic actress in many episodes. Certainly it wasn't really anything more than 'fluff', but "entertaining fluff", at least.More nice things to say. Does it really matter? I doubt you can catch it anywhere now, anyway! Oh alright, it probably represents the best possible use of someone like Cybill Shepherd.

I haven't yet been able to determine if all the episodes of this frequently very funny sitcom have been purchased for its current syndicated run on Oprah Winfrey's OXYGEN cable TV channel. I do know that I am now familiar with every single episode that has been shown, some of them four, five, six, seven...I've lost count!...times. Thank goodness for VCRs which allow us to tape the rebroadcasts; fast-forward through the many, many, many commercials; and skip past episodes that have finally worn out their welcome. (Certain ones, though, are the product of scriptwriters at the top of their form - admittedly superficial to the nth degree but sharply witty to a degree rarely attained by television writers since America discovered that mindless fun is a guilty pleasure, sufficient to distract us from the world's harsher realities.)But I have to admit that this is one professionally done TV series, with a wonderful cast, headlined by Cybill Shepherd as the titular star and her tart-tongued best friend played with unwavering aplomb by Christine Baranski (whose makeup, hair styles and wardrobe were, and perhaps still are, the envy of every woman who would like to show off her privileged financial status.)
