Opening comments

Should the (a lot less funny) tv-series remake Cybill (1995-1998) with Cybill Shepard be mentioned? // Liftarn 13:12 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)

It's funny, I used to watch both and never realised one was a remake of the other. They're completely different. -- Tarquin 15:31 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)

Me too. It's only after knowing it you can see it and it's not really as different except that AbFab is much more of everything. The characters are the same. We have the mother (altough the part is very different), the friend (in Cybill she only drinks, and doesn't do any drugs), the ex husband (but in Cybill he's not gay), the daugher (quite simmilar actually). I think the content was toned down no to offend the advertisers and to be more suitable for US sitcom standards. // Liftarn

Someone clearly pulled this "information" out of their behind because "Cybill" was *NOT* a U.S. remake of AbFab, even if they were vaguely similar. "Cybill" was based on the career of it's star, Cybill Shepherd. The plots aren't even particularly similar other than the boozing friend and the rocky relationship between mother/daughter. (The daughter is nothing like Saffron in AbFab; Zoey in "Cybill" was very hip, wisecracking and sardonic. Saffy was a bookworm and very square.) "High Society" has been called a "remake" but could more accurately be referred to as "inspired by" as it's really not similar in the slighest except for the main character. There was only one planned spin-off, an actual remake of the series to star Carrie Fisher, and it fell through.

Gay men

"...it has found a particularly strong following among gay men in both of these countries as well as in Australia and Canada..." o rly? that's funny... heqs 19:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pray tell, why is that funny? Gay man 15-June-06

Since you're just trolling for something to complain self righteously about, what's the point in anyone answering?

You can disregard my comment above. In the context of that version of the article (long since obsolete), the text in question was unsourced and seemed out of place. heqs ·:. 11:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

uh, awards?

i know this show has won awards, it would be nice if they were listed or at least mentioned. 24.60.66.216 05:54, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
