I have loved this show since it first appeared on our Channel 4 here in the U.K. in 1986. I have re-watched all 178 episodes many times and they still feel as fresh as when I first watched them. The characterization and excellent one-liners from these four very talented actresses makes it a joy to watch. Susan Harris, who also created the equally fantastic "Soap" is, in my opinion, one of the best comedy creators of all time. It's a shame - as with most shows - that it all had to end.
