It's been confirmed by the official Murphy Brown Twitter account that Charles Kimbrough is back as Jim Dial!!!

Woohoo!!!

I hope that Lily Tomlin will be appearing on the show at some point.

She won't be. She has other projects, and besides Murphy definitely took a downfall when they added Kay, so it's for the best they don't add her back.

It was season 10 that became unwatchable with the depressing cancer storyline that went on most of the year.

Jim is my favorite character from the original series.

I really want to be excited about the reboot, I just hope it's not too politically motivated....if it is, I'll tune out quick.

That’s a shame. At least the other cast members are returning.
