Cybill was a
US remake of
Absolutely Fabulous made
1995-
1998 with
Cybill Shepherd in the lead role. Like
Absolutely Fabulous the main character had a disapproving daughter, two quite different ex-husbands, and a best friend whose heavy drinking, sexy image and self-indulgent behavior provides much of the humor. Cybill's character in the show was a somewhat faded television actress.
In comparison to Absolutely Fabulous the content was much toned down, possibly because of self censorship and to fit better in the US sitcom tradition.
