New Murphy Brown Series
 
Was waiting patiently for this series. But will not watch another one.

I really like it. I have seen all the episodes and enjoyed them. Corky has not changed!

I had the worst crush on the actress playing Corky. She sure is cute. Love the show so far. :bigbow::popcorn:

We watch the first episode. When she started preaching to the Sarah Sanders figure in the press conference we tuned out for good.

I loved the original. I watch the new series but I certainly don’t love it. I do get one or two chuckles per episode but that’s about it. There are so many things wrong with this reboot. The laugh track is irritating at best. Too many zingers fall flat. Tyne Daly is ill-used as a curmudgeon. The tech guy is gets my jaw grinding. Jim’s return was heartbreaking, not funny (but his flirting with Phil was cute). Avery needs to move out. He’s too old, too successful to be living with mommy.

So, I keep hoping they’ll find their groove and be great again but it’s not looking promising.

Do people like Candice Bergen ever have enough money to just retire? She has two dead filthy rich ex husbands too. She couldn't spend all her money in ten lifetimes.
Why do they never have enough?

Murphy Brown scares me.

Can't watch..............nightmares.

Just age gracefully Hollywood.

:agree:

Kind of like Kathy Bates in Misery. Regardless of the politics she is just nasty.

In fairness that reporter was acting like a jerk. Sometimes you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

So the guy who played Eldin the painter died years ago, of a drug O/D. He was a great character. Jay Thomas is also dead sadly. Scott Bakula...is still alive.

Watched Murphy Brown last night and the Ed Shannon character (obvious Steve Bannon reference) was played by David Costabile of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fame. His character Gale Boetticher will be in the next season.

Was never a big fan of the original Murphy Brown, but it was good to see Jim again.

Let me get my two cents before this thread closes.

I am dismayed that almost all of the material is politically motivated.

Typical Hollywood bias. IMHO

Almost all is really just a few. Get a TV Guide and check for yourself. You'll feel less dismayed after looking at the T chart.

This thread is on life support. Several posts have been removed because of political content. Most were in response to a unfortunate political post. Please use the report function (the red triangle at the top/right of the post) to let the mods know rather than responding politically.

If further political posts are made, the thread will be closed.

“Misery” still sends chills down my spine.

Loved, loved her in Dolores Claiborne. “Not all accidents are bad, Dolores.”
