CYBILL is an American television sitcom that aired on CBS from January 2, 1995, to July 13, 1998, totaling four seasons and 87 half-hour episodes.
The series stars Cybill Shepherd as Cybill Sheridan, an aging actress who has had a varied, but fairly mediocre career. Maryann Thorpe (played by Christine Baranski) is Cybill's closest friend, who once worked as a receptionist, but is now extremely wealthy because of the divorce settlement she received from her ex-husband, plastic surgeon Richard Thorpe. Cybill has two children: Zoey Woodbine (played by Alicia Witt), a rebellious, but intelligent high school student with a more sarcastic tongue than her mother, and Rachel Robbins Manning (played by Dedee Pfeiffer), Cybill's eldest daughter, who is uptight and married to Kevin Manning (played by Peter Krause), an assistant professor. Cybill's two ex-husbands are often frequenters of the story lines: Jeff Robbins (Tom Wopat), Rachel's father, who is a successful stunt man with a roaming eye, and Ira Woodbine (played by Alan Rosenberg), Zoey's father, a brilliant writer prone to writer's block.
CYBILL was a rather successful TV show of its time, and I've caught it occasionally on some no-name networks in reruns. I believe it was Tubi or Crackle that once had the series available to stream for free, but I've only watched the first couple of episodes.
Any fans?
