Mary (Christine Taylor), and her friends Derrick (John Cameron Mitchell) and Oneal (Matthew Borlenghi) are party people in NYC. She gets arrested for charging entry fees into her illegal party. Librarian Judy Burkhard (Swoosie Kurtz) is her godmother and her only family. Judy dismisses her as being as irresponsible as her dead mother. She takes up the challenge and becomes a librarian clerk to the dismay of fellow clerk Wanda (Merrin Dungey).
I remember kind of liking this when it came out. Or else I thought Christine Taylor was hot. I don't think I ever thought it was funny. Almost twenty years later, I can safely say that it's not funny but yes, Christine was hot. This TV show is superior to the movie in only one aspect; Swoosie Kurtz. Mary's friends are not funny enough although I like Wanda. Everything is very fake in this show.
