I think Suddenly Susan was sadly underrated as a 1990s sitcom, trying to stand out amongst Seinfeld and Friends, although Suddenly Susan is more memorable in the public consciousness than Union Square, which was part of NBC's Must See TV lineup. Anyway, I enjoyed watching this series, where Brooke "Blue Lagoon" Shields and Judd "The Breakfast Club" Nelson, were the headline performers. The chemistry was fun, and there was a true ensemble, and the characters were relatable and likeable. Sadly, David Strickland passed away towards the end of season three, and the season three finale was an emotional tribute. Sure, Eric "Monty Python" Idle is big in England and in Saturday Night Live, but bringing him on was like a square peg in a circle, like when Head of the Class brought in the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly to replace Howard Hesseman. It went all downhill from there. Also Judd Nelson and Andrea Bendewald leaving after season three didn't help.
