Trivia:
One of the running series jokes was Murphy Brown's inability to get a good secretary or one that could work with her. One that was very efficient was Marcia Wallace, playing her Carol Kester character from 'The Bob Newhart Show (1972)'. At the end of the show, Bob Hartley (Bob Newhart) showed up and pleaded for her to return, which she did. moreQuotes:

Murphy: Frank owes me $20.

Murphy Brown is one of my all time favorite situation comedies. Candice Bergen is a comedic genius, and I wish I could see more of her. The rest of the cast did a great job, too.
The series tackled real problems with insight and humor such as an unmarried mature woman becoming pregnant, alcoholism, and cancer, to name a few.
The summer of 2000, I was battling breast cancer, chemo, nausea, and hair loss when reruns of Murphy's breast cancer experience were shown. It was so true to life but yet so funny. It helped me tremendously! Laughter is indeed the best medicine. These episodes should be shown during chemo treatments.
I implore whoever is in charge of such things to please market DVDs of the entire Murphy Brown series. It should not be allowed to slide into oblivion.
