Bergen will reprise her role as the famous investigative journalist and TV anchor at the FYI network, as Murphy Brown returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate. I hear talks are underway with other original cast members to return.

The multi-camera revival will come on the 30th anniversary of the original series, Murphy Brown aired on CBS for 10 seasons, from 1988-1998, with English leaving after Season 4. The show was known for its political satire and for reflecting current events, regularly weaving in real-life political headlines. It was famously referenced by Vice President Dan Quayle in a speech during the 1992 presidential campaign.

2. It's supposedly been talked about for a few years

But with will & grace doing so well and roseanne coming up, plus the Fuller House thing going on a few seasons so far...

3. I literally can't wait

Due to the heavy use of music this show isn't in syndication so I miss this show so much.

7. It recently started on Antenna TV

It's one of those sub-channels of broadcast TV. Fox I think.

4. The article mentions the 30th anniversary

But doesn’t bother telling us when that is...

So I looked it up. November 14th 1988 was the first episode.

9. Loved the show when I was younger.

Might've been one of the first signs that I was interested in politics, actually! I'm just about to turn 33, so I wasn't exactly of typical political person age in the 90s.
