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.

“That’s queer rough talk for a nice girl the  like of yourself..”

“Decent? Who told you I was?”

Is it just me or does Greta Garbo look a whole lot like British comedian, Jennifer Saunders—-especially Jennifer in this clip! They have almost the same bone structure AND they seem to be the same with privacy and dealing with the press and fanfare; Saunders is well-known for her ardent disdain for interviews and being around crowds of fans (though no big star has quite broken Garbo’s record for that as yet).

Waiting For God (1990 - 1994) and other Britcoms I love...

‎Britcoms are the best! Absolutely Fabulous, Waiting for God, and most recently, I have discovered A Fine Romance! And, I love it! I’m not saying I like all Britcoms (“Fawlty Towers” gave me a headache in the first episode and I consider “Are You Being Served” to be mostly tacky and annoying), but the ones I love—-I REALLY LOVE!

My favorite so far is WAITING FOR GOD. May my elder years be just as romantic, sensual, witty, fun, and full of love! Just like the WFG couple themselves, Tom Ballard and Diana Trent! I recommend this show to everyone who has sophisticated taste but enjoys a good laugh. And, if you’re a romantic at heart, the more you watch it, the more you’ll fall in love. I did!
