DVD Reviews of Cybill: The Collector's Edition Volume 1
DVD Review: zany comedy treat
Summary: 4 Stars
Following up her acclaimed role in "Moonlighting" was never going to be an easy task, but in 1995 Cybill Shepherd returned with the zany TV sitcom, CYBILL. Shepherd plays Cybill Sheridan, a middle-aged actress in Los Angeles whose career has never really advanced past commercials/Movie of the Week/After-School Special status. Living with her sharp-witted teen daughter Zoey (Alicia Witt) in a mansion perched on a crumbling L.A. hillside, Cybill's private life is just as chaotic and muddled as her career.... Two ex-husbands (Tom Wopat and Alan Rosenberg) still make themselves at home, whether she wants them or not! Eldest daughter Rachel (Dedee Pfeiffer) is married to an uptight college professor (Peter Krause). Finally there's Cybill's best friend, divorced multi-millionaire socialite Maryann Thorpe (Christine Baranski), a woman who has only one goal in life...to make her ex-husband Dr. Dick's life a total hell!
CYBILL ran for four seasons, garnering praise for it's stars and sharp writing. Cybill gamely plays for laughs as a character who'd seem uncomfortably close to what an actress of Shepherd's age may indeed have first-hand experiences of. Early seasons saw the character of Maryann get the biggest laughs and funniest storylines, and Ms Baranski gives her all in the part. Maryann was softened somewhat in later seasons, at least in part because Ms Shepherd felt she was being upstaged by her co-star and tensions on the set started to get out of hand. CYBILL was cancelled by CBS after the fourth season, depite leaving the characters' stories unresolved (the last episode sees Cybill and Maryann going to jail after a prank on Dr. Dick literally backfires). I do feel there was more to be mined in the show, and it could have happily continued but perhaps the rivalry between Shepherd and Baranski was becoming too much.
Complete season sets of CYBILL have been released in the United Kingdom (where CYBILL still enjoys a very large and dedicated following). Hopefully they will also eventually get released locally in the States, but until then, this "best of" collection will have to be sufficient for CYBILL's American fanbase.
Includes the following episodes:
"The Last Temptation of Cybill" - Cybill is busy rehearsing a romantic new play with Rick (guest star Kevin Sorbo) who begins taking his role into reality. Maryann delights in spying on her movie star neighbours with a telescope.
"Local Hero" - Who knew Cybill was the most popular TV star in Eastern Europe? "Island Cop" re-runs propel Cybill into an evening with some of her biggest fans.
"Educating Zoey" - Cybill and Ira wonder what went wrong when they discover that college isn't on the list for Zoey's future education.
"Pal Zoey" - Cybill is thrilled when Zoey decides to take a new page in their relationship. Meanwhile, Maryann decides to make Ira jealous by flirting with Cybill's visiting cousin.
"Bringing Home the Bacon" - Cybill the pig liberator? Cybill rescues the star of her latest acting gig from ending up on the dinner plate.
"Cybill Does Diary" - Cybill and Maryann decide to produce a women-friendly erotic movie but it's Zoey's diary that becomes the hot news.
"Kiss Me, You Fool" - Cybill and her ex-husband Jeff co-star in a big action blockbuster.
"Where's a Harpoon When You Need One?" - Cybill is called away as part of her role in a cruiseship campaign, just when Dr. Dick ramps up his plan to win back an emotionally-vulnerable Maryann.
"Show Me the Minnie" - Cybill needs cash when her garage collapses and must arrange for expensive reconstructive work...but when her loan officer turns out to be crazed former Cybill Fan Club president Minnie Arbogast (Paula Poundstone), what are her chances?
"Going to Hell in a Limo (Part 1)" - Cybill lands a role on the new science fiction series "Lifeforms".
"Valentine's Day" - Maryann becomes concerned when it looks like things are getting serious between her son Justin (Danny Masterson) and Zoey.
"The Golden Years" - It's a spooky glimpse into the future when we see an elderly Cybill and Maryann as they recall their past romances via an old diary.
"Ka-Boom" - Cybill's show is getting canned, and Maryann could be out on the street when Dr. Dick walks away with her life savings.
