[edit] Season 1

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. 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.

[edit] Season 2

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. Alec later dies, his wife June taking over his interest in the company.

Although the final few episodes of Veronica's Closet did not air in the US, they did provide answers to some of the previously unresolved plot lines. Veronica and Perry become a couple. Josh has accepted his sexuality. Olive's sells her internet company and becomes a millionaire. With her new wealth she buys out June and become co-owner of Veronica's Closet.

[edit] History

The series premiered on Sept 25, 1997 after Seinfeld to 35 million viewers. Its title was plainly derived from the "real life" lingerie company, Victoria's Secret. The show was a top 10 hit, although the initial ratings died down later in the first season. 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 50 percent, and NBC put it on hiatus with Suddenly Susan. The show returned on Tuesdays at 9:30 (after Will & Grace) with only a slight boost in ratings. NBC canceled the series in 2000, along with Suddenly Susan due to low ratings. Reruns were shown on USA Network for a short time in 2000-2001.

According to a plaque outside the audience entrance to the soundstage, Veronica's Closet was taped at Warner Brothers Studios on the same soundstage where the sitcom The Big Bang Theory is recorded (as of 2009) and where some scenes from the movie Blade Runner were filmed.
