>Several years ago, there was a TV show starring Cybil Shepherd and Christine
>Baranski. I think it was called "Cybil."
I think the character that Christine Baranski played on that show
("Mary Ann") paved the way for "Karen" on Will & Grace.
I don't think Cybill has *any* friends in real life. But no, the rumours
were that she and Christine did not like each other. I believe that
Christine once called Cybill a "fucking nutcase", if that gives you an idea.
Anyone with common sense knows Cybil is a true nut case that has been suffering
from PMS for many years.
Ask your mommy to tell you what "PMS" is and why Cybil Shepard isn't having
it.

Don't you like it, precious? The colour is called "Bilious Green", I was sure
it would appeal to you.
You stupid bitch. She has terminal PMS and will never be rid of it. Do you
comprehend?
ummmmmm.......PMS isn't terminal....it ends w/ menopause; hence, the
reference that Cybill couldn't be suffering from PMS.
Don't you have some homework you're supposed to be doing?

Possibly he does. And while he is doing it, why don't you
look up "sarcasm" "irony" and "hyperbole".

The Catherine O'Hara character, can't remember her name, on Six Feet
Under is supposedly based on Cybill. Both Alan Ball and Peter Krause
worked on Cybill and can't stand her. O'Hara was her usual brilliant
self as the nutty, bitchy boss.

Is that ever funny -- I'll be watching her in reruns with a whole new
outlook!
Just which of these are you proposing is in play?

(And you, in turn, look up "use of comma" and "placement of quotation
marks.")
I think he's just being hyperbolic here.
I went to an audience taping of the show, and was surprised at how genuinely
friendly and at ease she was when bantering with the audience. She left a very
positive impression. Of course, in that situation, she would be on her best
behavior.
I heard in the rumor mill that Cybill used to count the number of
lines in each script against the ones given to Christine, and if she
had less, would whine and whine and whine until the producers did
something about it.
Christine Baranski WAS that show -- she was stylish and funny and
bitchy and Cybill's shortcomings as an actress were always apparent
when the two of them had scenes together.
While in Chicago this past week, I caught her on the TV program with
John Laroquette (sp?), and she carries much of that sitcom.
Didn't see much of Cybill, but then again I can't stand that Ms.
Memphis Mediocrity anyways.
I agree. I think Christine Baranski is terrific. I especially liked
her in THE BIRDCAGE, when she sang and danced with Robin Williams.
Christine Baranski has one of the best pair of legs in the business. See
above and the Cybill reruns (one word: miniskirt) for further proof.

I really liked her as the beautiful, desirable woman in "The Grinch"
with Jim Carrey. It was refreshing to watch him compete for her
affections & not some 20 year-old's.
>I have seen Christine Baranski in several Broadway shows over the

>her deadpan delivery of one-liners (ala Mary Ann) is wonderful.
I remember watching "Cybill" (mostly for the really hot Alicia Witt)
and Baranski absolutely stole every scene from Cybill, who mostly
shrieked and chewed scenery. I agree Baranski has brilliant timing
and does great deadpan.
I finally checked out your website. Do you truly make plushie suits
for a living? That is mad cool. There absolutely could not be
anything cooler.

To me the most horrible thing about the Cybil show was her insistence
on singing. That woman couldn't carry a tune in a prada bag.

A) *I* am royalty, dahling, I wave for a living.
B) The website URL * listed* is to the etiquette book written by a woman who
is married to a man who started a costume business in 1972, (decades before *I*
was born), which has grown to be the largest of its kind in the world. As
such, the clientele is quite diverse and international, ranging from
universities, governmental departments, and ad agencies; to individuals who
purchase costumes for whatever purposes they choose. In recent years there has
been the occasional request for an unusual pouch, vent, opening, and/or
form-following fit, but, no questions are asked, the object is to, not satisfy,
but delight, everyone who utilizes Facemakers.
C) They based two costumes on moi and my life, so I, in a gesture fraught with
noblesse oblige, condescend to mention them in my majestic sig.file,
considering that the entire proceeds of the sale of the book go to charity.
D) Yes, it is true, my magnanimity knows no bounds.
My husband liked the show for the same reason - lol.

Baranski is fantastic. I've liked her in everything I've seen her in. I
even like her new show. It always takes a little while to get into the
swing of it.

I love that little shuffle scene with Robin Williams in The Birdcage.
Such a small scene, but a lot there. She is quality.
