Review

Shepherd portrayed the character of somewhat faded television actress Cybill Sheridan who, because of her age, had been relegated to playing character roles, bit parts and TV commercials. She had two daughters, Rachel and Zoey , and her best friend Maryanne whose heavy drinking and self-indulgent behavior provided much of the humor. For much of the series, Cybill's rival for acting jobs was Andrea , who was injured badly when Cybill accidentally shoved her down a hill. Tom Wopat and Alan Rosenberg appeared as Cybill's two ex-husbands, both of whom she had remained friends with. The show got respectable ratings throughout its run, but was abruptly canceled by CBS at the end of the 1997-98 season, amid allegations by Shepherd that the network was uncomfortable with Cybill's feminist leanings and frank depiction of female sexuality.
