But, recently, I found the first episode on Youtube. I forget how or why it came up, but there it was. And I started watching it. And found it quite funny -- not hysterical laugh-out-loud funny, but clever. So now I've been watching complete episodes on Youtube -- sadly, I can't seem to find them anywhere else.
I think my favorite character is Audrey (Phyllis' air-headed but well-meaning mother-in-law). One of my favorite exchanges (as Phyllis, Audrey and Jonathan (Audrey's husband) are sitting down at a fancy restaurant):
Audrey: Why, they serve every kind of fish in the sea here. I can't imagine why we haven't been here before.Jonathan: You hate fish.Audrey: Maybe that's it.
Another (when it dawns on Phyllis how old her daughter is getting):
Phyllis: It was only yesterday that I nursed her at my breast, played pattycake with her, put on her booties, sprinkled talcum on her little bottom. Only yesterday...Audrey: I thought you went to that new Woody Allen picture yesterday.
Who knows? Maybe I'll even give Rhoda a shot. I really hated that when I was a kid.
