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. [http://www.aarpmagazine.org/entertainment/Articles/a2004-05-19-mag-cybill.html] The show's theme song was by [[George Gershwin|George]] and [[Ira Gershwin]]'s "[[Nice Work If You Can Get It (song)|Nice Work if You Can Get It]]", in a version performed by Shepherd. ==Episodes== This is a list of episodes of Cybill. '''Note''': Season 4 was broadcast out of order when it was originally shown by the network. Note that episode 4.21 should have been broadcast immediately before episode 4.13. The network also canceled the show at the end of season 4 and part two of episode 4.24 was never seen. *'''#''' = Episode count *'''S.nn''' = Season and episode number combination *'''Episode Title''' = Production title *'''Summary''' = Brief description *'''Guest Stars''' = Actor - Role {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1 |- align=left valign=top BGCOLOR="#FF3128" | '''#''' | '''S.nn''' | '''Episode Title''' | '''Summary - Season 1''' | '''Guest Stars''' |- align=left valign=top | 1 | 1.01 | Virgin, Mother, Crone | Rachel is pregnant, Zoey is dating a college guy. | |- align=left valign=top | 2 | 1.02 | How Can I Call You My Ex-Husbands If You Won't Go Away? | Ex-Jeff moves in and Cybill gets romantic with ex-Ira. | |- align=left valign=top | 3 | 1.03 | As The World Turns to Crap | Cybill competes with Morgan Fairchild on a soap opera. | |- align=left valign=top | 4 | 1.04 | Look Who's Stalking | Cybill dates Ira's ex-shrink.
