Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

judybenton Murphy Brown is one of my all time favorite situation comedies. Candice Bergen is a comedic genius, and I wish I could see more of her. The rest of the cast did a great job, too.The series tackled real problems with insight and humor such as an unmarried mature woman becoming pregnant, alcoholism, and cancer, to name a few.The summer of 2000, I was battling breast cancer, chemo, nausea, and hair loss when reruns of Murphy's breast cancer experience were shown. It was so true to life but yet so funny. It helped me tremendously! Laughter is indeed the best medicine. These episodes should be shown during chemo treatments.I implore whoever is in charge of such things to please market DVDs of the entire Murphy Brown series. It should not be allowed to slide into oblivion.

policy134 This was perceived as something of a sensation back in the late 80's and early 90's. What is strange is that while other sitcoms who were pushing the envelope got virtually no attention, like Married with Children, Murphy Brown was considered cutting edge.What the sitcom actually introduced was that you could portray a woman, who was successful in her job, even though she was pushing middle age and to top it all of she was single. In that respect you can say that the sitcom was out of the ordinary. Just think of Claire Huxtable without 5 children.What was not so great about this was the fact that Murphy Brown relied heavily on stereotypes, at least in the beginning of its run. Aside from Murphy Brown herself there was Phil, the understanding but gruff bartender, the airhead journalist who usually got by on her looks and the jealous co-worker who was as stiff on camera as William Shatner.Oh, yeah. In case you forgot this took place in a newsroom and was one of dozens of shows that aired in the 90's that did. Starting with the feature film "Broadcast News" TV-shows milked this setting for all it was worth in the 90's.Every once in a while they found an interesting hook in this show like having Murphy Brown get a new secretary (this was before the term assistant became the right term) every week. Of course, this was spoofed on Seinfeld but in itself this was the most funny thing about this show.The show was famous for tackling issues but usually it was done in such a straightforward manor that you could just as easily have made this a 50 minute drama series instead.So not that this was the worst sitcom ever, but I couldn't get many laughs out of the situations portrayed here. Just to name a few Murphy Brown was a recovering alcoholic, she gave birth as a single mother (ha-ha), her best friends were a bartender and a man she hired to paint her house.

Tommy-92 I only started watching this show in its last season. I laughed a lot, which is pretty hard to do with so many of the other shows these days. Candace Bergen is a great actress working with great scripts and a great cast. The breast cancer story line was handled very well, both in poignant and humorous ways. The finale was a fitting way to end it.

Rosemea D.S. MacPherson Will we ever forget Murphy Brown, the Washington, D.C. journalist? I think not. That was a really nicely written show. I always have admired Candice Bergen (Ghandi, Murphy Brown). A gorgeous woman who's face glowed in Ghandi. I also recall Candice talking about her husband, the late French movie director Louis Malle (Au revoir les enfants, Pretty Baby ), and her daughter Cloé. Candice has always seemed to be a down to earth person. I always thought that she would make a "nice match" with Robert Redford in some movie! The show reminded me of Mary Taylor Moore, a Mary of the 90's!Her Murphy Brown apartment was so nicely decorated, and her painter Eldin Bernecky, beautifully played by Robert Pastorelli Michael) spent half of the entire series just painting one room, was a really nice guy. They always went to Phil's restaurant. Phil was played by Pat Corley (Hill Street Blues). Corky Sherwood Forrest Silverberg, Faith Ford, (Maggie Winters) was funny and annoying all together. Frank Fontana, Joe Regalbuto (Missing) Murphy's good friend. Charles Kimbrough (The Seduction of Joe Tynan) played the stuffed Jim Dial. Grant Shaud (Wall Street) played the insecure boss Miles Silverberg. Then talented Lily Tomlin (Tea with Mussolini) joined the series almost as it ended as Kay Carter-Shepley. I remember many episodes, but I loved when they were car pooling. What a gang! Their idiosyncrasies. One of Murphy's indiocyncrasies was firing her secretaries. This was a nice place for many famous guest stars including our much loved colleague, the late, John Kennedy Jr., who gave Murphy a copy of the first issue of his political magazine George. Murphy naturally was annoyed because that was such a cheap present coming from such a frugal Kennedy. Then John said: "Then don't complain when you have to pay Newsstand price later!" I enjoyed the series and will always miss them all!
