‘Murphy Brown’: 5 things to know about the CBS revival
Candice Bergen and company will take on ‘fake news’ and timely topics in a vastly different world
By now, it is abundantly clear that, in the world of television, everything old is new again. So cue the reunion of Candice Bergen and her “Murphy Brown” pals, who showed up at the TV critics press tour on Sunday to chat about the CBS revival of the groundbreaking sitcom that ended its original 10-season run in 1998.
Bergen, who is 72, was accompanied by executive producer Diane English, original cast members Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto and Grant Shaud, and newcomers Jake McDorman and Nik Dodani.
Here are five things we learned about the “Murphy Brown” reunion:
— The 13-episode series will pick up on on Nov. 8, 2016 — the night Donald Trump was elected president — before jumping to the present day. Murphy has returned to the airwaves via a new morning TV news show. She has recruited her “FYI” team: lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood (Ford), investigative journalist Frank Fontana (Regalbuto), and her former wunderkind producer Miles Silverberg (Shaud).

This is one revived show that I’m looking forward to seeing again, especially since they are bring back Grant Shaud. I like how Tyne Daly will be a member of the cast too.
