Murphy Brown is a flop. The premiere audience was 40% of what Roseanne got.

Red wave.

[EdnaMode]

Roseanne premiere: 5.1 in the demo, 18.16 million viewers
Will and Grace premiere: 2.9 in the demo 10.04 million viewers
Murphy Brown premiere: 1.1 in the demo, 7.4 million viewers

Muh Blue Wave.

So, the question is....which is a bigger flop?

Murphy Brown, or Magnum P I? Or should we start to include the Roseanne (without Roseanne) Show?

[4yearlurker]

So the Trump Administration hit piece TV show was a flop. Go figure.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I bet tonight's re-premiere of Tim Allen's Last Man Standing blows this away.

I never watched that trash the first time around.

Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.

Roseanne threw Trump voters one bone, one time. That was smart marketing. I have little doubt that Roseanne would have gone on to push the same feminist/leftist crap it did in its original form. Restarting Murphy Brown is about like the Democrats running Hillary again in 2020.

TV is already saturated with elderly, unattractive liberals.

Murphy Brown‘s brand of topical progressive humor.

Whatever that might be, one thing that it is definitely not....is funny.

On behalf of untold millions....No Thanks! Pass!

[MacMattico]

Hillary was actually a guest on the show and Candace Bergen said it was all about the resistance. What did they expect?

[onona]

surprisingly modest

bwahahahahahahahaa

[miss marmelstein]

An old, fat (once beautiful) actress with corded neck muscles and a dogged delivery that makes John Houseman look like Martin Short returns in a somewhat amusing tv show from 35 years ago and they were expecting a hit?

[Snickering Hound]

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?

[Ouderkirk]

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.

[Political Junkie Too]

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.

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.

I was watching the Meacum Auctions.
