Costello (TV series)


Costello is an American television sitcom created by Sue Costello and Cheryl Holliday, that aired on Fox from September 15 to October 13, 1998.

Premise

The series was about an Irish-American family in South Boston. The central character is Sue Murphy, a barmaid who has broken up with her boyfriend and is trying to improve herself, despite the incomprehension of her blue-collar family.

Cast

The show wasn't popular with critics, who considered it vulgar and shouty. A review in The New York Times said, "There are entirely too many colorfully crude blue-collar characters". The Los Angeles Times called it a more working-class Cheers and criticised Costello's acting ability.
