What happens

She TV is a short-lived sketch comedy television series that aired on ABC in 1994. The show was created by Tamara Rawitt, a producer on In Living Color, and featured a majority-women cast intended to distinguish it from male-dominated comedy shows of the time. The show was meant to "explore the female point of view" and satirize current events but was not, according to the show's producers, intended to be feminist. During its run, She TV occupied a popular Tuesday night time slot normally reserved for the more serious police drama NYPD Blue. Only 5 episodes aired of a 6-episode order, but the show featured early starring roles for actors such as Jennifer Coolidge and Simbi Khali. The cast in general was unknown to the public and was drawn from the stand-up world, the Groundlings, and Second City. The show itself was produced by industry veterans and featured major guest stars such as Tony Curtis and Bea Arthur. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
