    "Cybill" is one of the funniest shows of the 90es! The acting is somewhat strange, actually, very slapstick and somewhat unnatural, but after an episode one gets used to it and it's the funniest thing. Cybill Sheperd is great as the leading actress, but her sidekick Christine Baranski is just a show-stealer. She is the precursor to Karen Walker in 'Will & Grace', and she is simply"Cybill" is one of the funniest shows of the 90es!

    Very well written screenplay makes the show rather entertaining, with an overall excellent cast led by Baranski and Sheperd - making the show more than worth while!! 10/10!    … Expand

    Cybill is bawdy, rowdy and fun. Indeed, it's a comedy for the over-the-hill gang to look at - and laugh ruefully along with all the wrinkle, cellulite, bad date, bad sex, bad marriage jokes. [11 Jan 1995]

    As manifest in Cybill's premiere, Shephard and cast are castoffs, and a bit confused as to the actions they are made to complete, people performing in such an extruded manner that it's difficult investing interest in Cybill's citizens. [30 Dec 1994]

    There's something magical about Shepherd that keeps us interested and makes us predict a long life for this series. [02 Jan 1995, p.1]
