How long have we been after this blinking series !!!!!!

This show is familiar in a very vague kind of way to me. I had completely forgotten about it until you guys brought it up. I do remember watching an episode or two and liking the premise a lot as well as the leading lady. It was one of those that I didn't make a point to watch but if the stars aligned, nothing else was on and I had control of the remote, I would. It had the "Joisey" stereotype firmly in place but it was not too broadly played. What I remember liking the most was Lydia's unconventional take on the discussions in her psych class. I do not remember PF as the professor at all - bad me - but I remember digging the character! Unfortunately, I do not much like Paul Sorvino, so that soured me a bit. I like Ellyn Burstyn, my reason for catching it initially, but the character didn't showcase her talents enough for me.

I think it went on for a couple of seasons of around 20 episodes (the norm for us) but I could be wrong about that. The timing looks as if PF may have started Spooks soon after it was canceled?

Enjoy!
