I didn't watch Murphy Brown when it originally aired but I did watch it in syndication though. So my favorite comments in the reviews are the "it's too political" lol I guess they've never seen the original. Although even if I hadn't seen the original Murphy Brown the fact that it's a show about a group of retired/unemployed reporters return to report the news in the current political climate, I'm pretty sure I'd expect the show to be fairly political. Oh well everyone's entitled to their opinion.
What I like was feeling that the returning actors characters lived the last however many years in a way that felt like a natural profession for each. I don't know why but I was most concerned for Faith Ford's Corkie but there was no need she was just as if expect her to be. Having Candice Bergin back on tv every week will be awesome. I've always adored her. Fingers crossed she makes a cameo on Will & Grace so Karen Walker can have a scene or 2 with her nemesis Candi Bergin.
What I didn't like: I didn't like that they're only representing the liberal perspective & no one there even attempted to share any opposing view except to show how dumb they are. Don't get me wrong people who don't believe in global warming despite the evidence to the contrary are indeed special. However it's less cruel if there are characters who can depict the target as something other than touched in the head. I appreciate shows that while clearly taking a side they do it in a way that doesn't alienate the view. Perhaps they in tend too & I do hope so. I was really hoping Avery was gonna be gay especially since he's now the host of his own show on the Wolfe network. That's one I don't see them changing since and child of Murphy Brown would never be ashamed to be himself.
So there's room for improvement but I'm gonna stick around and see where it goes.
