Cybill

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]

Letting the viewers feel like they were in on the fun was Moonlighting's greatest asset. First impressions indicate it will be a strength of Cybill as well. [02 Jan 1995, p.D1]

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]

Sharply written and played (expect for bland Tim Matheson as Cybill's latest flame), Cybill flirts dangerously with a cruel edge - an off-camera joke about a cat devoured by a coyote seems a misstep. But at least this has an edge, a style, a genuine star. [30 Dec 1994, p.1D]

When it comes to TV, Shepherd’s comedy pedigree has the sheen of a winner.

Shepherd plays good-naturedly off her narcissistic image and the writers get off a few good lines. But this is just the kind of show that has to score with the quick zinger because it has nothing more solid to stand on. [01 Jan 1995]

Left to her own devices in the new CBS sitcom Cybill, La Shepherd seems a little lost.
