=== This series provides examples of: ===
* [[Adam Westing]]: Washed-up and aging Cybill Shephard plays... washed up and aging Cybill Sheridan (who unlike the real one never had a success like ''[[Taxi Driver]]'' or ''[[Moonlighting]]'').
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: Zoey was good at these. She once passed as a teacher at her own school, ''and even received a paycheck''.
Line 19:
* [[Flock of Wolves]]: In one episode Cybill dressed up as a prostitute to research an acting role she'd accepted. She asked another lady of the night what it was like being a prostitute, but it turned out she was also an actress. They asked a third woman, but she turned out to be a journalist. The three asked a fourth woman, but 'she' turned out to be a male vice squad officer.
* [[Gag Penis]]: Cybill and a friend were in a museum and came across a statue of a fertility god, who...well...

* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]]: Ira writes a book about his marriage to Cybill, with him as a Mary Sue.
Line 26:
* [[Lady Drunk]]: Maryanne
* [[Out of Order]]: Cybill comes back from her mother's funeral at the beginning of episode 13. Her mother then dies at the end of episode 21, which aired more than three months later.
* [[Wondrous Ladies' Room]]: This was a running gag. Ira commented on the potpourri and soap on women's bathroom. During a flashback episode set in the middle ages, the king went to the women's bathroom and was surprised with the stool (you know, the thing we sit on) and the curtain.
