Suddenly Susan is sitcom that ran from 1996-2000 on NBC. In it Brooke Shields starred as Susan Keane who begins a journey of self-discovery after leaving her fiancé at the altar. She then returns to her job at The Gate, a trendy publication owned by her ex’s brother. He offers her a new role: writing a column about navigating single life, aptly titled “Suddenly Susan.” This sets the stage for a workplace comedy filled with quirky colleagues and personal reinvention.
Critics were divided on Suddenly Susan, with some appreciating the ensemble cast and Shields’ comedic charm, while others found the writing uneven and the premise thin. Ultimately, changes to both the cast and creative team lead to a declining audience and a cancelation from the network. Will the S1E1 boys enjoy revisiting this 90s classic? Listen as they deep dive the shows first episode, "First Episode".
