Murphy Brown is the star reporter of "FYI," a newsmagazine series. Murphy is sarcastic, ambitious, often self-involved and bossy -- but she is also dedicated and ethical. She and her co-workers -- including Jim, Frank and Corky -- are often at one another's throats, even though they care about one another. Eldin, Murphy's house painter and confidant, never seems to finish his painting contract at Murphy's house (before leaving the show). The comedy series tackles some serious topics, including Murphy being a single mother and being treated for breast cancer.
Murphy Brown — Season 11

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This just in: while the nostalgia and wit are welcome, Murphy Brown's dated messaging tactics feel heavy-handed and smug, leaving this formerly formidably timely series feeling like a reboot reaching for the headlines.

This reboot is tiresome. Go to Full Review Johanna Schneller Toronto Star 10/11/2018
Watching the first episode was like being struck repeatedly on the forehead with a hammer of righteousness. Go to Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture 10/05/2018
I will take my public disavowals of attacks on journalism where I can get them, even when they're flawed, and even when they feel like a cathartic excuse to rail against what's essentially a cardboard cut-out of a real person. Go to Full Review Dana Sloane Mediaversity Reviews 08/18/2019

It's a welcome anomaly to see a 72-year-old woman thriving professionally at the center of a show. Go to Full Review Ani Bundel NBC News THINK 02/01/2019
The problem isn't that Murphy Brown leans anti-Trump, the problem is that the show's writing needs to cut deeper instead of always choosing the easy targets. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 12/18/2018
Murphy Brown is so caught up in being topically anti-Trump that it will surely be yesterday's news before the end of the night. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/11/2019 If your into old-shaming this is for you. See more 02/28/2019 I absolutely loved the old series of Murphy Brown and was so excited to hear it was coming back. After watching the first episode I was extremely disappointed but I did give the new series several chances and it really didn�Â?Â?t get any better. Every episode was like an afterschool special. I know the original series had episodes regarding specific issues : political, current events, etc but It was actually funny and not every episode wereon those topics unlike this new series. maybe they just need better writers because we know from the original series the actors have good chemistry and are very funny together but this new series seems to be forced and includes a series of one-liners that are not funny. See more 02/12/2019 I LOVE Murphy Brown. It is smart and entertaining. See more 12/21/2018 The laughs were good, although Bergen was a little stiff in the acting department throughout. See more 12/14/2018 We love this show! Nice watching Candace as Murphy and all the former casts and new ones too....I like it when they're being funny, sometimes they do the drama, I prefer when they do comedy (right now, it's like drama in the news) so we enjoy watching Murphy Brown especially when the ending is funny.... we liked the first 2 episodes a lot and the one with the dog, cute See more kathy h 12/11/2018 I loved the original 10 seasons, so I was really looking forward to this. Well,I didn’t even make it to the end of the first episode. It started kind of clunky, but the cameo in the middle was the deal breaker. I expected better from Murphy Brown than simplistic partisanship. See more Read all reviews
