Pretty Good

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent but underrated film

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Suddenly Susan is one of the greatest sitcoms ever. I love it so very much. At the time I'm watching the reruns at 1:00 p.m. here in Germany. And it is WELL WORTH it to stay up that late. Sometimes I still laugh about jokes, days later. Susan is a fantastic actress, it's like she was born for sitcoms. And of course Vicky is great, too. She could not be replaced by anyone. Maddy, Luis, Todd and Jack were excellent, too. There is no question about it. And I think they need to get an award for this sitcom. Definitely!!!------ I was really shocked, when I heard about the suicide of David Strickland. I really miss him a lot. The show could not be the same anymore. And I needed a little bit time to get used to the new story, were "the Gate" got a new owner. But now, after watching a few shows, I love it, almost as much as before. I think that Oliver Browne matches perfectly to Susan. He is a wonderful actor.-- AND NOW SOMETHING TO THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIKE SUDDENLY SUSAN: I think that ALL of you just plain and simply don't UNDERSTAND the jokes. Open your mind, and TRY to get the jokes. I get them. And believe me, I only laugh about REALLY good jokes. Thats why I laugh out loud every few seconds of this unbelievable, great, funny, wonderful, brilliant sitcom.:-)) THANK YOU SUDDENLY SUSAN. I LOVE IT and can't get enough of it !!!!!!!! I have to add something. If you don't find a reason to live, watch SUDDENLY SUSAN. There is your reason to live. It enriches your life.

Rarely have I seen opening credits so annoying. Recently, I got the chance to see the first couple of episodes of "Suddenly Susan". What I noticed about the credits is that it featured various shots of Brook Shields acting goofy. Here she is tripping. Here she is making a funny face. Here she is busting into laughter. The message? "See! Brook Shields CAN be funny!"This attempt to prove she could be a comedian carried through to the show itself. Early on, Ms. Shields was working way to hard to be funny, mugging her little heart out, and annoying me as much as the opening credits. Fortunately, she settles down into playing the "straight man"; instead of trying to be funny herself, she reacts to the funny people and situations around her. This approach worked much better.Unfortunately, the writing on the show didn't improve. At its best, SS is a show with the occasional funny moment. I really liked the cast, but the comedy is uninspired. I give it a C+.

Suddenly Susan is one of my wive's and my favorite series. It always makes us laugh out loud which is unusual of today's sitcoms. We are sorry we didn't discover it until it was on reruns. Of course, some humor is funnier than other and all is subject to the mood and personality of the viewer. In my opinion, Suddenly Susan stands head and shoulders over contemporary sitcoms and also has a little bit more heart than other shows which makes all the difference in the world.

"Suddenly Susan" isn't the best series it likes much in terms of the stories and plot work to make the many episodes interesting. I can say that if you like Brooke Shields at all then watch this series! Now don't you like the fact of having Brooke working in a magazine company! I always just liked everything about Brooke Shields she is so beautiful and very sexy. You can watch the "Suddenly Susan" reruns late at night on WGN. This is a must see if you like and enjoy watching Brooke Shields.
