Cybill is an American sitcom which aired on CBS from 1995 to 1998, starring Cybill Shepherd in the lead role.
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 (Dedee Pfeiffer) and Zoey (Alicia Witt), and her best friend Maryanne (Christine Baranski) 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 (Morgan Fairchild), who was injured badly when Cybill accidentally shoved her down a hill. Tom Wopat and Alan Rosenberg appeared as Cybill's two ex-husbands. 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.
