Veronica's Closet (1997–2000)
Very Cool
6 April 2001
Another NBC hit sitcom, but, unlike some people said, I thought this comedy was very funny, and I watched nearly every episode.

Originally, the story was that Veronica "Ronnie" Chase (played by Kirstie Alley) runs a successful lingerie company. He best friend Olive (Sister Act's Kathy Najimy) is her secretary, with Josh (Wallace Langham), Leo (Daryl Mitchell) and Perry (Dan Cortese) rounding out the rest of the cast. Pat Prosky also starred in the first season as Ronnie's dad.

The second season saw Ronnie co-own her company with Alex, who falls in love with Ronnie, but "tragically" dies at the end of the 2nd season after a volcanic accident.

The third season was the final one, after Veronica's Closet got the chop. Sporting a new theme song, and a new hair colour for Kirstie Alley, the third season introduced us to Ronnie's new co-owner, June (Lorri Bagley) who inherited Alex's half of the company after a romantic weekend away.

We also found out that Josh was gay, and later, Olive makes millions of dollars over an Internet company, and buys out June's half of Veronica's Closet.

Since VC ended halfway through 2000, Alley has been very quiet. Daryl Mitchell and Dan Cortese have both played teachers (Daryl on 10 Things I Hate About You, and Dan or 'That's Life'), while Kathy hasn't been heard of either.

It wasn't as good as NBC's other hit, 'Friends', but a lot better than Brooke Shield's 'Suddenly Susan', which sitcom seemed to mirror Kirstie's (or maybe the other way around), but in the three short years it was on air, there were plenty of laughs.
