The news-set sitcom starring Candice Bergen kicked off its 10-season run six days after the 1988 presidential election, on Nov. 14, 1988. In The Hollywood Reporter, critic Richard Hack wrote of Murphy Brown: "In short, Murphy is one clever cookie (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/murphy-brown-review-1988-tv-show-819754), surpassed only by Bergen’s portrayal of the woman. She supplies just the right amount of hard temper with soft emotion to make Murphy Brown likable in spite of all her self-centered composition. Bergen doesn’t play comedy — like Roseanne Barr or Jackee. Rather, the role becomes comedy because she takes everything so seriously while those around her mug and strut their stuff."
