Music Vid - Best friends Cybill and Maryanne get up to craziness.
I kinda think of these two as the American version of Eddie and Patsy (Absolutely Fabulous).
The OP is one to something! It is no coincidence that these two seem like the American version of Eddy and Patsy. Because in fact, that’s exactly what they were meant to be (IMDb has mentioned this fact)! It’s not exact through, so it’s best describes as a show inspired by AbFab. I guess that’s why Cybill was a considerable success, whereas the attempts at an exact American copy have all failed before the first episode even aired! My theory is that there is something about British humor that is too intense for Americans to tolerate without the beauty of the British accent (posh and others, like Cockney) to make it more demur—-and rather sophisticated. Case-in-point: brash-sounding American actresses Roseanne Barr and Carrie Fisher could never pull off the crude humor of Eddy and Patsy and still appear favorable to fans.
Whatever the reason, Americans (such as myself) can only handled a “watered down” version of a Stateside AbFab. And, that’s what the 1990s show,Cybill(1995-1998) provides us with.
The show can be seen weekdays, from 3 to 4PM on TV Guide Network.
