Just Shoot Me!

justshootmeWhen Maya Gallo (Laura San Giacomo), a serious-minded investigative reporter, was talked into working for her shallow father (George Segal) and the glossy New York fashion magazine he ran, she had no idea that her relationship with him would improve to the degree that when he retired in the series finale he’d appoint her his successor. Perhaps few viewers guessed as well that this rather unremarkable but amusing and charming sitcom would have a six-year run. The show focused mostly on shenanigans at the workplace; a depraved former model (Wendy Malick) and a sarcastic yet servile secretary (David Spade in perhaps his most memorable performance) kept things lively. There was also a childish streak that never went too far.

1997-2003:U.S. Made for TV. 148 episodes. Color. Created byĀ Steven Levitan. Cast: Laura San Giacomo (Maya Gallo), George Segal (Jack Gallo), David Spade (Dennis Finch), Wendy Malick, Enrico Colantoni, Rena Sofer (02-03).

Trivia: Reportedly inspired by a never-produced episode of The Larry Sanders Show.
