"The Candice Bergan-fronted comedy came back with much fanfare as a full-throated attack on President Donald Trump, but lackluster ratings dogged the show from its very first episode."
This was all as originally planned
For Murphy Brown, the rebooted series was always intended to be a closed-ended order of 13 episodes. The multicamera comedy, featuring the return of star Candice Bergen and from original creator Diane English, has underperformed (6.2 million total viewers and a 0.9 in the key 18-49 demo) in its prime Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. slot and remains in consideration for a renewal. Fellow multicamera comedy Fam, starring Nina Dobrev and Tone Bell — which has already changed showrunners — will take over Murphy Brown's slot starting Thursday, Jan. 10.Hollywood slams ICE via Murphy Brown. Naturally, the illegal immigrants are sweet, loveable victims and the ICE agents only reluctantly "follow orders". Hollywood provides the courageous, compassionate champion. I'm sure this was a hit with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voters.
