Will You Watch The New "Murphy Brown"?

[+ Avalon]

This show is catering to people who still watch network TV at the appointed hour and who remember Murphy Brown fondly.

Murphy Brown was never as popular as Roseanne and considering the demographics of the target groups, less than Roseanne ratings are to be expected.

I believe when the WH itself is so outrageous, making the fictional antics going on in there even more outrageous is tough.

 

I never watched the original. And I don't watch tv at the appointed time; I watch later on Hulu to avoid the commercials. And I watch the show because of Avery.

Without 'Jim Dial' as a counterpoint on the show, I feel like it flounders. It's an echo chamber of sorts.

 

Every character needs their foil, otherwise things get boring very quickly.

10/11/18-- Tyne was fine, I opine.

The recent episode was about sexual harassment. Murphy and her son Avery were talking. Avery's language was gender neutral. Thus far on the show Avery's sexuality has not been disclosed.

Agree.

 

I thought this week's episode was the first of the three I've seen that didn't feel forced. Still needing more time to fully sit in.

Looks like Jim Dial is on next week's episode, though I don't know how big his role will be. Just saw him in a flash in a preview of next week's episode.

This week's episode was better. And Jim Dial was on.

On tonight's epidsode, Corky had a line that had me laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. The show is showing moments of what made it my favorite back in the day.

So will will Captain Kirk marry Raymond Reddington in a double ceremony with Murphy and the judge?

[+ Avalon]

In the recent episode there was some affair and Avery brought a female date. But on the bright side the actor who plays the young Indian intern Pat Patel both the actor and the character are gay!

And finally he and a young man he had dated and was a waiter at the affair were making out in the backseat of a car.

Canceled. The network purports that the reboot was always intended to be a closed one-season arc. Sounds more like they were hedging their bets.
