What’s This TV Show About?
A CBS TV series revival, Murphy Brown stars original cast members Candice Bergen, Grant Shaud, Faith Ford, and Joe Regalbuto, alongside Nik Dodani, Jake McDorman, Adan Rocha, and Tyne Daly. Amidst daily attacks on the press, Murphy Brown (Bergen) decides to forsake retirement for a new CNC morning show, Murphy in the Morning. She reunites the old FYI gang, Corky Sherwood (Ford), Frank Fontana (Regalbuto), and Miles Silverberg (Shaud) for her new endeavor, as well as social media director Pat Patel (Dodani). She’s determined to prioritize solid reporting over sensationalism. The team members still decompress at Phil’s bar, which is now run by his sister, Phyllis (Daly), with help from college student, Miguel (Rocha), a “Dreamer” from Mexico. Meanwhile, Murphy’s son, Avery (McDorman), is all grown up and following (perhaps, a bit too closely) in mom’s footsteps.

What do you think? Did you enjoy the Murphy Brown TV show revival on CBS? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a 12th season?
Whoever cancelled this is in huge trouble because I thought Candice Bergen deserved to do Murphy again after all these years and be thankful for her about this show! Look out because Murphy Brown is coming to investigate you!
Yes, Like Murphy Brown, please don’t cancel.
Love it!! Please don’t cancel!
I love the show. It is funny and intelligent. Not mindless and sappy like so many other shows. It is relevant to what is happening right now and does not shy away from taking a stand.
Please do not cancel this show. Thought it was great. Up to date sarcastic jabs,
Lots of laughs, great actors. Having Hillary appear was fantastic.
Show deserves another chance.
Please renew this show. Loved the older version, love this one more.
Renew Murphy Brown.
Murphy Brown is awesome! The original and the reboot. They can’t keep cancelling the good shows, I mean come one people! We finally get some good tv shows again and they keep canceling. Why? MurphyBrown is a thousand times better then those STUPID reality shows.
I loved the reboot and I loved the original. Looked forward to it every week. I most sincerely hope it will have another season!
