[edit] Plot
As the country’s leading romance expert and owner of Veronica’s Closet, purveyor of lingerie and books designed to keep romance alive, Ronnie seems to have it all. Her only problem has been a rocky marriage to a womanizing husband, Bryce, whom she finally gathered the strength to leave. Having written The Guide to a Fairy Tale Marriage and built an empire as the foremost authority on relationships, Ronnie must now confront the charade she’s been living in the public eye as the perfect wife and career woman. In the second season Ron Silver joins the cast as Alec, Ronnie’s new business partner and nemesis who buys controlling interest of the company she built. Helping Ronnie run the company and her personal life is her top executive, Olive, who is always ready with solid business advice or a shoulder to cry on. Her loyal staff also includes an assistant, Josh, who faces a sexual identity crisis; a publicist and former underwear model, Perry; and a harried marketing manager, Leo.

[edit] History
The series premiered on Sept 25, 1997 after 'Seinfeld' to 35 million viewers. Although initial ratings died down later in the first season, the show was a top 10 hit. The sitcom spent the first two seasons on Thursdays at 9:30 (after 'Seinfeld' in season 1 and after 'Frasier' in season 2). NBC moved the show to Mondays after 'Suddenly Susan' for the 1999-2000 season. Ratings fell more than 80% and NBC put it on hiatus with 'Susan'. The show returned to television on Tuesdays at 9:30 (after 'Will and Grace') with only a slight boost in ratings. NBC canceled the sitcom in 2000, along with 'Susan' due to low ratings. Reruns were seen on USA for a short time in 2000-2001.
It is currently being shown on the Danish TV channel TV 2 and Warner Channel on Latin America.
