Murphy Brown creator Diane English says she may need to get security protection as she works on the return to CBS of the biting political comedy series.
“I might have to have some protection,” English told reporters in a scrum after her show’s Q&A panel at TCA. “I’m not kidding.” English referenced the “scary times” in which the show is coming back with original episodes after two decades.
The very first episode, which takes place on November 8, 2016, “really sticks our head into the lion’s mouth,” said star Candice Bergen, boasting, “This show has no fear of anyone.”
These “scary times” includes a death threat to CNN on-air talent phoned in to C-span by a Trump supporter that Brian Stelter played on his CNN program. New York Times columnist Bret Stephens similarly revealed a threat from someone warning, “I don’t carry an AR but once we start shooting you f*ckers you aren’t going to pop off like you do now” Stephens warned President Donald Trump will have blood on his hands if his enemy-of-the-people attacks on journalists pushes a supporter to such extreme violence.

Create Weimar problems, you get Weimar solutions.
True most of her movies were pretty forgettable except for about 4 of them. Without Murphy Brown she would not have the real money she has.
For him to do that she must have already been messed up, the snub worsened it.
Isn’t blatantly fishing for Stephen Colbert’s audience just a little humiliating? It’s like putting up a “Whitey need not apply” sign - no need for the half of the country to tune in now.
You won’t be watching. Kramer is persona non grata in hollyweird these days.
There will only be one episode: The plot will be the whole cast comitting suicide on election night once they realize that Hillary the expected one has lost.
As Jean-Luc Picard would say: “Make it so!”
Back in the day when I was a leftie, that was a funny show. Candy is too long in the tooth to make it work and I’m too conservative to watch. Good luck on this one.
I heard that Avery (her son that Dan Quayle talked about) will be on a host on a ‘Conservative’ network...
In fact, a lot of folks want him.
Does this mean the entire cast will be crying during the episode? I would watch just to see that.
Fake death threats.
Anybody can call in and claim they are right wing or a Trump supporter and make them.
And how many fake hate crimes have we seen in the last several years?
I’ll betcha it’s Antifa or BLM types making the calls.
The *f* bomb is one good giveaway.
THiswhole thing smells contrived.
Very funny, better than 100% of television comedy shows today.
Maybe she’s too stupid to know over 99% of Hollywood expresses hatred for Trump in particular - and Republicans in general - every chance they get.
What ugly thing is she going to say about traditional Americans that hasn’t been said a million times before? What contempt hasn’t been expressed by her ilk? We’ve heard their hatred for more years than Weinstein and his fellow thugs were abusing young women... and that’s a looooong time.
I don’t know if I would watch her kind of show.
If she cuts on Trump it may be so stupid we all crack up laughing.
If the script is about “kill Trump” or something like that I don’t see the reason to produce it or broadcast it other than to provoke a response.
She is a terrible actress. Charlie McCarthy s less stiff then she is.
scary times... no condemnation of the murderous Bernie Bros.
Hysteria about a “red state scare” when it is militant leftists who are violent.
More fake news from a fake news station as portrayed by Hollywood.
Has there ever been a comedy tv series that was created a year and a half into an administration that is set retroactively in the past following the election?
These Hitlery Rotten Clinton voters need to listen to their queen and stop refusing to accept the outcome of the election. They threaten democracy.
Is Murphy Brown supposed to have been broadcasting news all of this absent time or did she take a hiatus to raise her lil’ bastard?
Maybe she ducked out of the spotlight like Dan Ratherbiased for manufacturing fake news trying to steal an election (”fake but accurate!” memos)...
maybe it will be a twilight zone what if Hitlery had won...
