p07

She was hot 50 years ago, now she has just another show spouting the same opinions on all the other channels.

But delivered by a geriatric.

Candice Bergen still the lead? Is the setting a nursing home?

surprisingly modest ratings...

Everything is always a surprise with these people

Why would they think it would be a huge hit? It wasn't a huge hit the first time, and 30 years on it's not getting any better.

I watched for five minutes and then switched to the Barrett-Jackson automobile auction.

The only reason the ratings were "surprisingly modest" is because people like me watched it to confirm our expectations of how bad it would be.

We won't be back next week.

Antenna TV runs it.

I have the boxed set of DVDs as well.

So far the only thing that has come out of this season that I will watch another episode of is “Manifest”.

Too much of the same old wine in a new, though broken bottle.
This might have worked if they cast a younger, less well known woman in the lead role. All is too familiar, no surprises to anticipate.

We record shows to watch on Hulu, these three are on being recorded. Magnum P.I. is such a PC Hour, I can not bear to watch.

Hillary is running 2020? WOW! Great news in the morning. Can’t wait for the slip and slides this time around.

Chris Plante played some audio between Hillary and Bergen. It was the most pathetic crap I’ve ever heard. A comedy act at the airport Hilton quality.

I can’t figure why CBS thought the new/old Murphy Brown would be a hit. The original was popular in its day, but was canceled after the ratings started to slide. Why’d they think anybody would want to re-visit this?

This was always going to flop...

Only thing that could save it would be Trump tweeting about it.. which hopefully he won’t and will just ignore this train wreck....

Murphy Brown never held up... it was a disaster in syndication... no one cares what a bitter old shrew who basically made a big deal about having a baby, only to completely ignore it is up to.

She was good in “The Sand Pebbles.” All down hill after that (1966).
