Trivia One of the running jokes of this series was Murphy Brown's inability to obtain a good secretary or one who could work well with her. During the show's first ten seasons, Murphy had a total of ninety-three secretaries. They were referred to by number in the closing credits cast list of each program, as "Secretary #1", "Secretary #2", et cetera. 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, Dr. Robert Hartley (Bob Newhart) showed up and pleaded for her to return, which she did. In one episode, Murphy discovered there was a support group for her former secretaries, where they comforted each other over their inability to keep the job. See more »
Goofs There are two glaring problems with Murphy's house. First, when her front door is open, there are short bushes right in front but they don't exist in the exterior shots. Second, Murphy lives in a townhouse, however, there is a large window inside her house which shouldn't exist because the house next door would be attached to it. See more »
