'''''Cybill''''' <!-- Do not change -->is<!-- to "was" as that is incorrect per [[WP:TVLEAD]]. Fiction continues to exist even after creation of new episodes stops.--> an American television [[sitcom]] created by [[Chuck Lorre]], which aired for four seasons and 87 episodes on [[CBS]] from January 2, 1995, to July 13, 1998. Starring [[Cybill Shepherd]], the show revolves around the life of Cybill Sheridan, a twice-divorced single mother of two and struggling actress in her 40s who has never gotten her big break in show business. [[Alicia Witt]] and [[Dedee Pfeiffer]] co-starred as Sheridan's daughters, with [[Alan Rosenberg]] and [[Tom Wopat]] playing their respective fathers, while [[Christine Baranski]] appeared as Cybill's hard-drinking friend Maryann.<ref>{{cite news|author=Howard Rosenberg |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-02-ca-15605-story.html |title='Cybill' Is a Promising Addition to CBS Lineup - latimes |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=1995-01-02 |access-date=2016-02-24}}</ref>

The sitcom was produced by [[Chuck Lorre Productions]] and YBYL Productions in association with [[Carsey-Werner Productions]], with Shepherd, Lorre, Howard M. Gould, Jay Daniel, Caryn Mandabach, [[Marcy Carsey]], and [[Tom Werner]] serving as the show's original executive producers. Broadcast to critical praise, ''Cybill'' was nominated for 12 [[Emmy Award]]s throughout its run and awarded the 1996 [[Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy]]. Shepherd won a third [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy|Golden Globe Award]] for her performance, while Baranski received an Emmy, a [[Screen Actors Guild Award]], and an [[American Comedy Award]]. ''Cybill'' has been in syndication on the comedy-centric [[digital subchannel]] [[Laff (TV network)|Laff]] since April 2016, along with other Carsey-Werner Productions series shown on the network.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/laff-lands-roseanne-that-70s-show-3rd-rock-from-the-sun-grounded-for-life-and-cybill-in-multi-year-licensing-agreements-with-carsey-werner-300248004.html|title=LAFF Lands Roseanne, That '70s Show, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Grounded For Life and Cybill In Multi-Year Licensing Agreements with Carsey-Werner|first=Katz|last=Broadcasting}}</ref>

==Plot==
''Cybill'' takes place in Los Angeles and focuses on the character of a somewhat faded actress, Cybill Sheridan (played by [[Cybill Shepherd]]), who, because of her age, had been relegated to playing [[character roles]], bit parts, and TV commercials.<ref>{{cite magazine|title= Cybill
|magazine= [[Entertainment Weekly|EW]] |url=https://www.ew.com/article/1995/01/13/cybill|access-date=2016-02-25}}</ref> Also featured are her daughters: headstrong Zoey (Witt) and uptight Rachel (Pfeiffer), two ex-husbands: Ira (Rosenberg) and Jeff (Wopat), and her hard-drinking best friend Maryann (Baranski).

Due to the show's premise, many episodes featured a [[show-within-a-show]] format, usually in the [[cold open]]s, showing Cybill Sheridan playing a variety of other characters in her various film and TV acting roles.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Ray Loynd |url=https://variety.com/1994/tv/reviews/cybill-1200439592/ |title=Cybill |magazine=Variety |date=1994-12-29 |access-date=2016-02-24}}</ref>

In her autobiography, ''Cybill Disobedience'', Shepherd stated that the Cybill character was based on herself—or at least what her life as an actress could have been without the successes of ''[[The Last Picture Show]]'' and ''[[Moonlighting (TV series)|Moonlighting]]''. Many of the show's details and situations were mined from her own family, marriages, and experiences.<ref name="CD">''Cybill Disobedience''</ref>

==Cast and characters==

=== Regular and semi-regular ===
* [[Cybill Shepherd]] as Cybill Sheridan<ref name="fcc">{{cite web|title=Full Cast & Crew|date=2004-05-18|publisher=[[IMDb]]|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111932/fullcredits#cast|access-date=2011-06-03}}</ref> – Cybill is a middle aged actress who has had a varied, though mediocre career (which, even in her [[salad days]], seems to have consisted primarily of television commercials, [[soap opera]]s, and [[B-movies]]). She now finds that, due to her age, roles are becoming harder to find and that the quality of roles she is offered is diminishing. Her fortunes seem to vary over the course of the series. Sometimes, she has consistent work and appears to be relatively wealthy, other times, she scrambles to find and keep jobs, and seems to be struggling financially; this inconsistency could be attributed to the nature of her career, as even the most successful actors tend to have their professional ups and downs, both financially and creatively. Cybill is a rather eccentric feminist who practices [[New Age]] philosophy, as well as a native [[American South|Southerner]] from [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Tennessee]]. Her loud, public, and honest rantings about female sexuality, her perkiness, bouts of outrage, and hysteria, and her exhibitions of "down-home" Southern behavior often embarrass her two daughters, Zoey and Rachel. Cybill has a civil relationship with her ex-husbands Jeff and Ira, even tolerating their tendency to cling to her. She does sometimes spar, however, with Jeff over his past infidelities, and is quick to remind Ira of how controlling he was when they were married. Cybill's best friend is the wealthy, alcoholic divorcee Maryann Thorpe, whom she supports emotionally and assists in her bitter war with her ex-husband. Cybill has a caustic sense of humor and an acid tongue. Although eccentric and flawed, Cybill's strength and wisdom shines through in her support of her family and friends.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-08-tv-17432-story.html |title=Absolutely 'Cybill' : Shepherd's New Series Is Built Around An Actress Who Could Be Her |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=1995-01-08 |access-date=2016-02-24|last1=King |first1=Susan }}</ref> (87 episodes)
* [[Christine Baranski]] as Maryann Thorpe<ref name="fcc" /> – Cybill's best friend is a former receptionist who is now fabulously wealthy due to her divorce settlement with her unfaithful ex-husband, celebrity [[plastic surgeon]] Richard Thorpe (an infrequently and [[unseen character|never fully seen character]], to whom she always refers with a sneer as "Dr. Dick"). Maryann is a bored, bitter alcoholic who often seems unstable and emotionally dependent on Cybill. When she is not stalking her ex-husband and playing elaborate and destructive pranks on him, she spends lavishly, drinks, and pursues younger men. She has a few healthy relationships with men of her own age over the course of the series, including Cybill's ex-husband Ira, but these do not last. She has a son, Justin ([[Danny Masterson]]), who infrequently visits. A passionate [[environmentalist]] with excessive liberal beliefs, Justin is at odds with her frivolous and extravagant lifestyle. Maryann's most consistent and healthy relationship is with Cybill. They seem to be endlessly sharing martinis in an upmarket [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] restaurant and are accomplices in each other's bad behavior. Maryann seems to spend most of her time at Cybill's house and involving herself in Cybill's family life to alleviate her own boredom. Her caustic tongue vies with Cybill's, but her remarks are more inappropriate, bitter, and cynical. She is, however, a constant support for Cybill at crucial moments. Her first name was Theresa, which her mother called her but she dropped when she moved to Los Angeles. (87 episodes)
* [[Alicia Witt]] as Zoey Woodbine<ref name="fcc" /> – Cybill's younger daughter, she is a high-school teenager, and is brilliant, rebellious, and more sarcastic than her mother. She is a piano virtuoso (as is Witt) and hopes to attend the [[Los Angeles Conservatory of Music]]. A self-imposed outcast, she is a vocal advocate of [[celibacy]]. She is in an on-again-off-again relationship with Maryann's estranged son. (87 episodes)
* [[Alan Rosenberg]] as Ira Woodbine<ref name="fcc" /> – Cybill's second husband, Ira is the polar opposite of Cybill's first husband, Jeff. Unassuming and rather neurotic, he is a brilliant writer, though prone to "writer's block". His marriage to Cybill ended because he was unable to stop trying to control her life; even in divorce, he cannot help meddling in her life. For several episodes of the second season he was involved with Maryann. (85 episodes)
* [[Dedee Pfeiffer]] as Rachel Robbins Manning<ref name="fcc" /> – Cybill's elder daughter, she is uptight and pretentious, and is married to Kevin Manning. She is prone to outbursts of hysteria similar to her mother's, especially during her pregnancies of the first and fourth season. Rachel and Kevin's first child is a boy named William; the second is a girl, Amanda. (Initially a regular but the role became more semi-regular in later seasons) (42 episodes)
*[[Tom Wopat]] as Jeff Robbins<ref name="fcc" /> – Cybill's first husband, Jeff is a Hollywood [[stuntman]] with a roving eye. Though his many indiscretions were the cause of the divorce, Cybill and Jeff still have a good relationship, bound together by their daughter and grandson (and the fact that Jeff lived over Cybill's garage in the early seasons of the show). Jeff is somewhat dim, making him a prime target for Zoey's dry wit, but possesses a good heart. (Initially a regular in first couple of seasons, semi-regular in later seasons) (22 episodes)

=== Recurring and special guests ===

* [[Tim Maculan]] as a waiter and friend of Cybill's.<ref name="fcc" /> Despite his prominence, the character was never given a name. Appeared in over 50 episodes (the fifth-most appearing cast member with more episodes than some of the semi-regular cast).
* [[Peter Krause]] as Kevin Manning,<ref name="fcc" /> Rachel's equally uptight husband, an untenured assistant professor from Boston. (Recurring from Season 2 onwards) (23 episodes)
*[[Jay Paulson]] as Sean,<ref name="fcc" /> Zoe's first boyfriend in Season 2 & 3. (Recurring) (12 episodes)
*[[Ray Baker (actor)|Ray Baker]] as the second Dr. Richard Thorpe,<ref name="fcc" /> Maryann's veterinarian boyfriend who is also the namesake of her ex-husband. (Recurring in Seasons 3 & 4) (11 episodes)
*[[Jane Kaczmarek]] as Holly,<ref name="fcc" /> Ira's girlfriend - and later fiancee - in Season 3. (5 episodes)
*[[Linda Wallem]] appeared in 5 episodes as various characters including Julie, Cybill's co-host on a morning show in 3 episodes.<ref name="fcc" /> Wallem was also a producer and writer on the show.
*[[Mary Page Keller]] as Julia Bishop,<ref name="fcc" /> Zoey's piano teacher and Ira's girlfriend. (4 episodes)
*Kim Murphy as Nina,<ref name="fcc" /> Zoey's friend and one-time roommate. (4 episodes)
*[[Morgan Fairchild]] as Andrea Thorpe,<ref name="fcc" /> Cybill's rival and later wife of Maryann's often mentioned but never seen husband, Dr. Dick. She and Cybill have mutual enmity which has resulted in personal humiliations, professional loss, and injury on both sides. (4 episodes)
*[[Audra Lindley]] as Virginia Sheridan,<ref name="fcc" /> Cybill's mother. (3 episodes and another episode dedicated in her honour)
*[[Florence Stanley]] as Ruth Woodbine,<ref name="fcc" /> Ira's mother and Zoey's grandmother, who had a friendly relationship with Cybill and once posed as Maryann's mother. (3 episodes)
*[[Eileen Heckart]] as Marge,<ref name="fcc" /> Maryann's mother. (3 episodes)
*[[Dick O'Neill]] as Roy,<ref name="fcc" /> Maryann's father. (3 episodes)

Additionally, many prominent actors appeared playing themselves, often humorous or self-deprecating caricatures of their real personas. These included [[Jonathan Frakes]], [[Joan Van Ark]], [[Dick Van Patten]], [[Burt Reynolds]], and Cybill Shepherd's real-life ex-partner, director [[Peter Bogdanovich]].

== Cancellation ==
The series got respectable (though never spectacular) ratings throughout most of its run, but was abruptly canceled by CBS at the end of the 1997–98 season after a noticeable ratings decline. The show was actually pulled from the CBS schedule after the April 8, 1998, episode had aired; the remaining new episodes that had already been produced were aired over the summer. Shepherd later alleged that the cancellation occurred because the network was uncomfortable with ''Cybill'''s [[feminist]] leanings and frank depiction of female sexuality.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Griffin |first=Nancy |date=July–August 2004 |title=Cybill Liberties |url=http://www.aarpmagazine.org/entertainment/Articles/a2004-05-19-mag-cybill.html |magazine=AARP Magazine}}</ref>

The cancellation was not expected by the show's staff, as the series ends with a cliffhanger and the words "To Be Continued..." on the screen. At the time of its cancellation, the show's ratings were higher than ''[[Nash Bridges]]'' (1996–2001) and ''[[Chicago Hope]]'' (1994–2000); those shows continued to air on CBS.<ref>{{cite web |date=1998-05-25 |title=Final Ratings for '97-'98 TV Season |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1998/05/25/DD61876.DTL&type=chart |access-date=2018-12-13 |website=SFGate.com}}</ref> In 2018, Shepherd claimed that [[Les Moonves]] hit on her during a dinner date, but she refused him. As a result, she said, he soon interfered with the series' concepts, and ultimately canceled the show.<ref>Deadline.com [https://deadline.com/2018/12/cybill-shepherd-les-moonves-ended-her-1990s-sitcom-1202519485/ Cybill Shepherd Says Her ’90s Sitcom Ended Because She Refused Les Moonves’ Advances]</ref>

== Awards and nominations ==

''Cybill'' was nominated for twelve [[Emmy Awards]] throughout its entire run, winning three. Nominated for her performance in each season, Baranski was the only cast member to win an Emmy.<ref name="awards">{{cite web |title=Awards for ''Cybill'' (1995) |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111932/awards |access-date=2011-06-06 |publisher=[[IMDb]]}}</ref> Baranski also received an [[American Comedy Award]], a [[Screen Actors Guild Award]] and a [[Viewers for Quality Television Award]] for her portrayal, while Shepherd was awarded the 1996 [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy]].<ref name="awards" /> The same year, the sitcom also won the [[Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy]], its only win for both the crew and the cast.<ref name="awards" />
