Murphy Brown premieres Thursday, Sept. 27 at 9:30pm (8:30 Central). I am seriously thinking about actually getting an antenna for my TV so I can watch this over the air. Lord I loved that show when I was young. I'm trying to figure out how to talk about Murphy Brown -- brilliant, relentless, ambitious, witty, selfish in small things but deeply committed to integrity and justice, sometimes lonely and clumsy, the unmistakable star of her own life -- and I realize that DCI Jane Tennison of Prime Suspect and journalist Murphy Brown are sort of the drama and comedy takes on the same character?

Anyway I want to see it and maybe friends in NYC want to watch it together?

Edited 13 Sept to say: Oh wow this article about looking back at Murphy Brown reminds me:

* We're gonna get new Murphy Brown and Patrick Stewart wants to come back and play Picard again and evidently I am a target market for pandering now and it's GREAT
* it's a crying shame that Murphy Brown is not legally available for viewing except in cable reruns and on an out-of-print? 2005 DVD release of Season 1 (just as I guessed: music licensing is the hurdle)
