The Geena Davis Show was an American
sitcom starring
Geena Davis. The show lasted one season (2000-2001) on
ABC.
Background
Terri Minsky first pitched the idea of a
Sex and the City-like character becoming a suburban housewife to ABC in early 2000. Basic plot details were drawn up, and the script eventually reached Geena Davis. After some debating, ABC decided to make the show less like
Sex and the City and more tailored to its star, Geena Davis. The show was filmed in Los Angeles and premiered on ABC on Tuesday, October 10, 2000, at 9.30pm. The show lasted less than a season before being replaced by the
Joan Cusack sitcom
What About Joan?.
