LOL, thanks.

 

New piece on the show:

The original @MurphyBrownCBS remains startlingly timely in 2018—which is good news for its upcoming reboot.@aherman2006: https://t.co/uuWpgoUVM7

I'd forgotten it ran 10 seasons. 

 

I do think there is a certain stridency (not the right word) that dates the early (and best) years, but I feel like we're heading back to that place now, in our culture, so it holds up better.

@Vee they need to use that as a tagline!

 

ICAM.

Big new interview with Bergen and English which also discusses "#MurphyToo":

 

 

#MurphyBrown reboot star Candice Bergen on filming a #MeToo episode: "In the episode '#MurphyToo,' we have a very in-depth look at the issue — for a 21-minute show. We wanted to look at both generations' perspectives of the huge issue of sexual harassment" https://t.co/r7TlOAAbpx

I'm ready!

 

That ICE joke is hilarious.

I see soap vet Don Scardino.  He must be directing the new episodes.

 

God, I wish I was working on this show.

Diane English did mention that they intentionally haven't written the last 3 episodes of the season yet in an effort to stay topical. 

 

I wonder if Diane will tackle the Les Moonves situation. Though, I guess she probably had a better working relationship with him than Linda Bloodworth Thomason. 

I'm majorly excited for this! I didn't think I'd ever say that lol

The first big premiere night of the season (last night) was pretty soft ratings-wise, so I’m interested in how this does.

Even if it runs just one season, I'm grateful for the chance to revisit Murphy in these troubling times.

Though, early reviews don't seem very promising. I guess we'll have to see for ourselves how this one does.

I frankly expected it to be a bit creaky. I'm still gonna watch and judge for myself. I hope it does well.

I never take critics seriously, they literally hate everything

Sonia Saraiya likes it, though I generally do not like Sonia Saraiya's opinions:

 

 

I loved the new MURPHY BROWN! https://t.co/q6uCkUx4AA
