<== *Yawn*. Some people seem to think Cybill Shepherd is an accomplished deadpan comedian. What they don't realize is that deadpan is also her range of emotions.

But this is classy ==>

Whether she was playing exasperated, sullen, aroused, or intrigued... her facial expressions simply never changed. She delivered her lines crisply enough and the dialog was really clever. But if she wasn't good looking, no one would've bought the David Addison character being attracted to her. She was smart, but essentially bland and unemotional. Bruce Willis carried that show. If they'd put the Alice Beasley actor in the lead, that show could've run 10 seasons.
