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.

RENEW MURPHY BROWN!!! It not biased if it is the truth. Loved the old show & the new… the news is supposed to tell ALL of what is really happening, not just be a one-sided editorial. Reporters need to ask questions and get answers, and keep asking until its answered truthfully. This show represents what true journalism is… seeking and reporting the truth. News is not fake just because we don’t like what we see or hear. It is what it is, and should be reported as such at all times. The only enemy of the people are those who… Read more »
I absolutely love this show! I am 31 and I never got into the original one, but Murphy Brown just touches on stuff that’s so important right now and still find a way to bring heart and comedy to it! Please don’t cancel
I may not share the show’s politics, but I enjoy the show and look forward to each episode. Please renew Murphy Brown for another season.
I enjoy Murphy Brown, it’s timely and funny. Please don’t cancel!
We love Murphy Brown!
DO NOT NOT NOT cancel MURPHY BROWN. The show started great and drew you in and continues to get even better and draw you further in. As it continues in it’s genius, it will only gain more and more consumed fans. We have highly scrutinized each episode and find only excellence happening. The characters and writing are the best. Extremely funny, intelligent and needed in today’s social climate. The character of Murphy has only gotten more outrageously funny as Candace has matured, too! The funny get funnier; the keen get keener. This show is a TOTAL KEEPER. Don’t make the… Read more »
I was so excited when I found out that Murphy Brown was coming back. I was just starting my career when I first watched the sit com, and the character reminded me to be a strong female in the workplace as I wavered through Corporate America. Now also a mother of four boys, I love the twist with her having a son that she competes with all under the premise of love! The political satire was fun at first because I am an Independent, and I take pride in seeing both sides, but as the episodes have unfolded, the tone… Read more »
I absolutely LOVE the revival of Murphy Brown and will be very disappointed with CBS if they cancel this very funny series!
Will not watch or DVR Murphy Brown again until I see an episode of Antiva tearing down Ms. Murphy’s front door as her son lives there. Only fair which is why I do not expect it to happen. I’m done…
Cancel…I enjoyed the original show but this one is just more bitter Democrats.
And sorry to disappoint you but I am a white Suburban college educated woman.
I love Murphy Brown!! Please don’t cancel!
I love Murphy Brown. Not all the episodes are perfect, but the message is good and the cast is wonderful. I was a big fan of the original show and never missed an episode. Please renew the show.
I highly dislike the reboot of Murphy Brown, when I never missed the original seasons. The political vitriole is beyond anything funny. It is now just nasty carping. I’ve stopped watching & I don’t know of anyone else who watches this garbage.
I loved the original show and still enjoy the remakes. Please keep it going for next season.
Watched MB when it was on the first time, and I thought it was funny and cutting edge. Now, just a bunch of bitter old people. They need to lighten up the characters viewpoints…seasoned is one thing, being haters is something else. Don’t see this lasting very long.
