As I don’t work in a company (thank God), I haven’t gotten many. But when I did "Murphy Brown" for ten years, I felt a certain obligation to our cast and crew to represent us thoughtfully and well.

Dear Candace,

This might be the time to say "Murphy Brown" was one of the all-time great series.   It took on important issues at the same time making us laugh (and sometimes tear up).  The writing was superb and you were, to those of us who didn’t know you well back then, turned out to be a stunning surprise.  So thank you!

How right you are Barbara, there hasn’t been anything even close to Murphy Brown.  I bought the first season DVD set and laugh again and again.  I wish they would come out with the rest of the series.

Murphy Brown was one of my favorite series ever.  I loved Murphy’s personality.

I may not have always agreed with Murphy Browns political views, but loved the show non the less.

I loved everything about the show. Especially was interested in seeing what new color Eldon was painting the walls!!

Murphy Brown was one of the best shows on television ever. Loved all the characters, and esp Murphy…and her political views! This was funny with Lily Tomlin and Julia Roberts.

Murphy Brown was one of my favorites, too, and knowing that Ms Bergen felt a sense of responsibility for those she worked with makes me feel even better about the show!

But would any of you want to work for Murphy? (Remember the on-running secretary gag?)
