V: Veronica's Closet

 

Veronica's Closet

 

I have actually talked about this show on my blog before. At that time, I had a flashback to this show, then found episodes on Daily Motion which have since been removed. Only a few people I know seem to remember this, one of the many work-place sitcoms that surfaced in the 1990s. This one ran from 1997 to 2000, and during its first year, was shown in the Thursday slot after Seinfeld (in its final season). But over next two seasons, the time slot was changed several times and in June of 2000 it was cancelled, leaving four episodes unaired. USA Network then reran the show, showing the previously unseen episodes in December of 2000. 

Four years after Cheers left the air, Kirstie Alley returned to TV as Veronica "Ronnie" Chase, recently divorced owner of a lingerie company called Veronica's Closet (a take-off on real-life lingerie company Victoria's Secret). Her staff included Perry Rollins (Dan Cortese, former MTV personality), the dimwitted publicist and a former underwear model; Leo Michaels (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell, formerly of The John Laroquette Show, and currently on Fear of the Walking Dead), the harried market manager; Josh Blair (Wallace Langham, formerly of The Larry Sanders Show and later of CSI), her assistant, who continually denied that he was gay, finally coming out in the last season; and Olive Massery (Kathy Najimy, from Hocus Pocus and the Sister Act movies, and King of the Hill), the Chief Financial Officer. Seen during the first season was Robert Prosky as Ronnie's father Pat, who was also her chauffeur (he was written out without explanation). Ron Silver came on board the second season as Alec Bilson, who now owned the company with Ronnie, but his character was not popular with viewers. As such, Silver was dropped from the cast with the explanation that Alec had died from falling into a volcano. It was then revealed that before he died, he'd gotten married to June (Lorri Bagley), a regular on the final season. June got a share of the company from Alec until she was bought out by Olive. 

As I said, the episodes I'd once found on Daily Motion are no longer available, and can't seem to find any full episodes on Youtube either, though the opening theme for all three seasons and a few clips are available.
