* TransatlanticEquivalent: To ''Series/AbsolutelyFabulous'', one of several attempts to translate that show's success to American network television in TheNineties; this was probably the most successful of them. Cybill is a pastiche of Eddy (albeit with several elements from Shepherd's own life incorporated into her backstory) and Maryann is a transparent ripoff of Patsy.

** Also part of the storyline is how Cybill hails from [[DeepSouth Memphis]] and Maryann hails from [[FlyoverCountry Buffalo]], just like the RealLife origins of Cybill Shepard and Christine Baranski.
