No matter how big or small, every role that Christine Baranski has ever played she completely owned the scene.

The original Karen Walker.

Megan Mulally actually thought the character was the same as Maryann when she first read for Will and Grace. She mentioned it in an interview.

What I wouldn’t give to put Maryann Thorpe, Karen Walker, Patsy Stone and, hear me out Mary Cherry in the same location, Survivor style.

Christine Baransky is one of the greatest actresses ever.

No wonder she won an Emmy for the role

Seeing Leonard's mom being animatedly sarcastic is scary and entertaining 😂

This show was my introduction to Christine Baranski. She was the main reason I watched (with all due respect to Cybill who is Ab Fab) Over the years she has shown her versatility. Sublimely talented.

She does haughty particularly well.

I had forgotten how great these 2 ladies are together- time to rewatch Cybill! Just finished The Good Wife / The Good Fight arc with Christine, too. She’s still gorgeous 25 years later.

What show are these clips from? Please and thank you

Been a Baranski fan ever since

I remember hearing that Cybil got mad at her for upstaging her all the time.

Oh yeah, I remember this show. If I remember why it ended it was she kept out staging Cybil cause she got the funnier lines/bits that added to tension on the set. Christine is very talented at delivering lines.

Yeah, Cybil and Christine did an interview and were asked about rumors of jealousy on the set after Christine won the Emmy. Cybil, in true narcissistic fashion, said no she wasn’t jealous because she was the one that gave Christine the opportunity to win the Emmy. If it wasn’t for her and her show, there would be no Emmy. Christine sat there, very composed and lady like, with a blank face (that said what we were all thinking) and never lowered herself to react to Cybil’s inflammatory statements and outrageous conceit.

Leonard’s mom was so frisky when she was younger.

Christine Baranski is fantastic as well as Cibill

Still one of the sexiest women ever on TV

I think that Cybill was a slight American version of Absolutely Fabulous with Mary Ann as an more likeable version of Patsy and Cybill as an more likeable version of Eddy I'm just saying

Absolutely Fabulous and therefore this was a modern super consumerized version of the formula from The Lucy Show (1960s) with two widows instead of divorcees....originally set in Long Island suburbs... later moved to LA to have more celebrity drop ins. You can always find an earlier series or play to notice TV borrowing and adapting. TV is derivative.

Patsy Stone kicked off the "boozy/pill popping bestie" on Ab Fab. Maryann was the first American version of this character on "Cybill" which then continued with Nina Van Horn on "Just Shoot Me" and Karen Walker on "Will & Grace" These characters were frequently the scene stealers on their respective shows. Always there will a drink in hand, a gorgeous outfit and fast cutting one liner, it's no wonder why they remain popular as they generally got the biggest laughs.

I loved this show!

Such a great show

She stole the show in that series! I watched it to see Mary Ann! Hilarious

Oh well. Another day. Another voodoo curse.

Love them, love this show ! Fabulously hilarious 😂😂❤❤💞💞

Great show.

I just saw one of her first movie roles - Robert Redford's mousy assistant in Legal Eagles.

This show was basically the American AbFab.

Is Christine one of the most beautiful women in the world

She made that show!

Wow, I'd forgotten (how could I?) how brilliant this was. It wasn't a regular on UK TV, which is another good reason not to live in the UK

God, how I miss watching #Cybill!! ❤🌹💯

So I ended up going to a Dentist named Dr Dick and every time his receptionist said his name is laugh. She made the mistake 😅f asking me why I laughed. After that I'd come in and she'd give me a stare. I had to find another dentist. It was worth it

Does anyone else see the resemblance between Christine Baranski and Taylor Swift????

My fave Maryann scene was her declaring a wish for a biscotti and cap before being executed. Good choice

But why is she Patsy Stone 😂

I like Cybil, but Christine was the scene stealer like Bruce was in Moonlighting. They both won Emmy’s! Cybil never won.
