There’s a Murphy Brown revival afoot. Are you here for it? It could be good… maybe. They need the right writers. [Looper]
Rachael Denhollander survived Larry Nassar. [LaineyGossip]
I miss Katie Price. Where’s she been? [Dlisted]
Some of Countess LuAnn’s charges have been dropped. [Starcasm]
This is actually a really great explainer piece about Devin Nunes & that whole #ReleasetheMemo nonsense. [Pajiba]
You guys, Patti LuPone will perform at the Grammys this Sunday!! [JustJared]
I have no interest in Waco (unless Michael Shannon is talking dirty, then I’ll be very interested in Waco). [Seriously OMG WTF]
That’s a hard “no” from me on Givenchy’s new collection. [GoFugYourself]
OMG YASSS! I used to LOVE that show – it inspired me to go into journalism. I am here for this!
OMG I loved that show so much!! Hopefully Candice Bergen will be involved
At the time I didn’t realize how it impacted me as a young girl. Since this announcement, it is like I am looking at the show with fresh eyes. There is a gratitude in my heart that I didn’t know was there. I loved the show at the time, but now I realize why it spoke to me so much.
Murphy was my nickname when that show was popular… I would watch at least one rebooted episode!
Didn’t know this was being whispered about but YES!!! PLEASE!!! We could all use some Murphy Brown right now.
Yes! Yes! Yes! The world desperately needs for this show to come back! And fast. Also, we demand our Triple Treats back. Oh, wait. Wrong post.
YES on the “Murphy Brown” revival. YES. As you said, fingers crossed for the writing (although it will be hard to top the real-life insanity). Already know the acting will be top-notch.
Can you IMAGINE what Murphy has to say about this Orange Clown and his three ring circus??? Oh lord, I hope they can tap some of the original writers, too!
this is the one re-boot that makes perfect sense in the current political climate
Since it won’t air for awhile, I’m assuming she will be commenting on the impeachment/resignations/multiple trials for treason.
Yes!! I loved that show
I think a sharp political show with a woman is what we need right now
I’d love that. Great show!
I am here for EVERY SINGLE EP.
I was very young the first time around, but want to remember the characters as they were. Same for Seinfeld, even Friends. Can’t writers, etc. come up with any new ideas. All of these bringing shows back from the dead seems disingenuous. Will they film it at a retirement village. Let Murphy, the sharped tongued, beautiful woman who made a pact to marry her friend if she wasn’t married by 40 be remembered in all of her glory.
One of the more tired cliches about re-makes is the old song: “Can’t writers in Hollywood think of anything new?”
Of course we can. Of course we do.
We don’t have the power to get them made. That stands on the whims of networks and studios, who prefer playing it safe with ideas and formats people already know.
Not meant as a snark to all re-makes. Some can be wonderful.
But never think there aren’t new ideas out there.
Like anything else, it’s about power and access.
I think I’ll stick to the reruns of the originals and when I want something different jump over to Netflix.
Bringing back an iconic character being played by someone who is sublime? HECKY YEA! It would be wonderful to see her take on how MSM is today…cause it’s PRETTY AWFUL!
This Givenchy collection has some absolutely gorgeous pieces.
I agree! I liked it, as a whole, much better than the Giambattista Valli collection.
Absolutely! Some were really not great, but several of them were gorgeous. I want to wear the outfit in picture #1.
I want the jelly fish dress!
Me too!!!
No, I loved the show, but, the Networks need to give new talent a chance to show case instead of rehashing the old.
The ensemble acting of the old cast, and topical humor were good fun, but I always thought Bergen was overrated on the show.
She was my least favorite of the ensemble – always afraid to admit that out loud, though!
I refuse to watch any of these reboots as they infuriate me lol. Give me new. Original. Use some of that well-professed intellectual superiority! Having said that… Murphy might be the one reboot I’d have to watch. Aside from South Park, I’d like her take on current events!
No Eldon and no Jerry Gold. They’ll have to create new foils for Murphy. Avery will be all grown up now and it will be interesting to see Murphy in the world of Twitter and cable news.
If they’re talking about using the same characters (how could they) it would be The Golden Girls Revisited. The actor portraying Eldon died years ago. The others range in age from mid seventies to eighties. Remember them for the laughs they gave you, what twenty years ago, probably longer. Lightpurple, this wasn’t directed at you personally, I posted under your reply. My bad….but not as bad as the Cavs this year….lol…cry…lol…cry
What’s going on with them? Seems like there’s all sorts of bad chemistry
None of us can figure it out. LeBron is still LeBron, he’s a beast. I think Kyrie cast a spell on us when he left! So jealous of Bron’s fame. Not crazy about IT, surprisingly I like Crowder, but he just isn’t doing it this season. Coming from a sports town that the entire country knows does not have the greatest luck….I now am savoring the ’16 championship as it may be the only one I see.
Casey Affleck has dropped out of presenting at the Oscars!
Just came here to say the same
I read he was “uninvited “ lol 😂
Good lord, Candice Bergen STILL looks amazing !
I remember watching that when I was a kid!
Yes I loved Murphy brown!
I loved the original show. Remember when it was so ground-breaking to show a single woman choosing to have a child on her own, that it had VP Dan Quayle dissing Murphy as “anti-family values?” It shows has far the GOP has fallen and what a moron Quayle was. I wish Murphy was a real person. We need her now.
I’m here for the Waco show. Cannot wait for all the episodes to come out so I can buy and binge on Amazon. I am obsessed with Waco, Jonestown and Heavens Gate so I’m all over it.
Heck no! There’s only one Murphy Brown. They will never be able to recreate the magic that was the show.
I was thinking yesterday how outdated Murphy Brown is and what a shame that is. There was an episode where she bent over backwards to prove her reporting was so “balanced” it could stay put on the edge of a pin, or something to that effect.
–Now news has all taken a side. George Stephanopolous, Bill Clinton’s Karl Rove is anchoring ABC, MSNBC has become the FOX noise of the Left and CNN has become MSNBC2. News is just a team sport now, has next to nothing to do with legitimate reporting.
–So I’d hate to see Murphy Brown be a true-to-life shill for the DNC or RNC, which is all that’s out there. And I couldn’t stomach watching Murphy Brown pretend to be balanced, since nobody in “journalism” out there is.
–So respectfully I’d have to pass. But I am nostalgic for the show. It was a hilarious send-up of the foibles of the news business of the day. Having a woman hired literally just because she was some kind of beauty queen was so true to life. I forget her name, but you know who I mean. The younger blonde.
–If they did the reboot true-to-life you’d all be depressed. Every woman who dares to appear older than 40 would either have some minor role “contributing” on occasion or be fired outright, Murphy would be nowhere near the camera, the 70-something year old man would of course still be working unless a #MeToo allegation sidelined him, and everything on air would sound like an angry commercial for one of the two political parties, mostly to the Left.
–In real life, I get my news, gossip and entertainment all online now.
