Suddenly Susan is one of the greatest sitcoms ever. I love it so very much. At the time I'm watching the reruns at 1:00 p.m. here in Germany. And it is WELL WORTH it to stay up that late. Sometimes I still laugh about jokes, days later. Susan is a fantastic actress, it's like she was born for sitcoms. And of course Vicky is great, too. She could not be replaced by anyone. Maddy, Luis, Todd and Jack were excellent, too. There is no question about it. And I think they need to get an award for this sitcom. Definitely!!!------ I was really shocked, when I heard about the suicide of David Strickland. I really miss him a lot. The show could not be the same anymore. And I needed a little bit time to get used to the new story, were "the Gate" got a new owner. But now, after watching a few shows, I love it, almost as much as before. I think that Oliver Browne matches perfectly to Susan. He is a wonderful actor.-- AND NOW SOMETHING TO THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIKE SUDDENLY SUSAN: I think that ALL of you just plain and simply don't UNDERSTAND the jokes. Open your mind, and TRY to get the jokes. I get them. And believe me, I only laugh about REALLY good jokes. Thats why I laugh out loud every few seconds of this unbelievable, great, funny, wonderful, brilliant sitcom.:-)) THANK YOU SUDDENLY SUSAN. I LOVE IT and can't get enough of it !!!!!!!! I have to add something. If you don't find a reason to live, watch SUDDENLY SUSAN. There is your reason to live. It enriches your life.

I remember first tuning into this show in 1996, when it first started now being only 12 going on 13 I remember being bored and flipping to a much more worthy show, Boy meets world. I decided this year at 21 to watch it again and see if it was just my youth speaking back then....but it wasn't. The only parts of the show worth watching were Luis, Nana, and my favorite actor of all time, Judd Nelson. They all had these odd characters that at most times were poorly written but they worked with it and the rest of the cast which was kinda blahhh (But David Strickland was pretty good too...R.I.P.) and carried it. I will admit I never saw Eric Idle but I like him too, but in my opinion, cannot hold a candle to Judd Nelson in things like this.Brooke Shields isn't that great in that role, thats my opinion but shes not all that funny and most of her "humor" is really predictable and not well played. Kathy Griffin annoys the living daylights out of me BIG TIME to the point I cannot watch her. But I haven't seen enough to know everyone else yet but the writers were asleep most of the time from what I've seen and whose brilliant idea was it for them to break into that "Rollin on the river" song in the earthquake episode? If thats Brooke Shields' real voice, she can sing that I will say even if she was lippin (not very well). Other than that, the only reason I watch it is because Judd Nelson is such an awesomely talented guy---other than that...I'd flip to Family Guy or something...

After watching reruns of Suddenly Susan over the last couple of months I got strangely addicted to it. I find myself really looking forward to the "new" old episodes every day. I don't usually fall for American sitcoms, I prefer British sense of humour, but I really got to like this show. I love the characters (especially those in the first three seasons), and unlike some other viewers who have commented on it, I think there is real chemistry between Susan and Jack. I also think that Luis is an excellent character.

I just saw an episode of this show and I am appalled. I don't even want to mention the plot of the episode because it was so terrible. How could anyone watch such garbage? I sincerely hope this show wasn't popular though it was on for four years. Could this have actually had an effect on people?!
