A funny show, in itself an achievemnet, 8 October 1999
Author: Tommy-92 from Baltimore, Maryland

I only started watching this show in its last season. I laughed a lot, which is pretty hard to do with so many of the other shows these days. Candace Bergen is a great actress working with great scripts and a great cast. The breast cancer story line was handled very well, both in poignant and humorous ways. The finale was a fitting way to end it.
