Product Description:

Amazon.com:
The DVD release of Murphy Brown is particularly newsworthy. There had never been anyone on primetime quite like Murphy, the star investigative reporter for the Washington, D.C.-based television news magazine F.Y.I. As created by Diane English and embodied by Candice Bergen, Murphy was, in English's words, "Mike Wallace in a dress." On camera, she was tough, smart, and relentless. Off camera she was intriguingly flawed. In the pilot episode, her character returns to work following a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic. Over the course of the season, her sobriety is supremely tested by the chaotic goings-on inside the funniest newsroom since WJM on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Murphy must contend with an unending parade of ill-suited, stressed-out secretaries (a running joke throughout the series' 10 years), new 25-year-old producer Miles Silverberg (Grant Shaud) whom she rudely dismisses ("While I was being maced at the Democratic Convention in '68, you were wondering if you'd ever meet Adam West"), and new co-anchor Corky Sherwood (Faith Ford), a former Miss America ("by default") with no journalistic background. Murphy is over 40 and prickly, with a penchant for vindictive practical jokes against her colleagues. In short, in the words of a lampooning cartoonist in the episode "Funnies Girl," dynamic, "pain-in-the-butt," Motown-loving Murphy is "a veritable fountain of material."
With its smart and sophisticated writing and seamless ensemble, Murphy Brown instantly established itself as one of television's gold standard series, earning four Emmy Awards for this inaugural season, including Outstanding Lead Actress for Bergen and Outstanding Writing for English. Colleen Dewhurst was also honored for her guest appearance as Murphy's equally intimidating mother in the episode, "Mama Said." A cast and crew retrospective and commentaries by Bergen and English for, respectively, the pilot and classic flashback episode "The Summer of '77" earn this set R*E*S*P*E*C*T. --Donald Liebenson

With the amount of harsh feelings toward the current administration, I am BEWILDERED as to why other seasons of this show are not available! I was in a video store the other day and saw DVD of TV shows I've never heard of available on disc, yet this multiple Emmy winning series isn't. I even saw a collection of "Jake and the Fatman." WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Please Warner Brothers, release more MURPHY BROWN (watching BOSTON LEGAL is a fair substitute but only when Shirley Schimdt - Bergen - gets ... Read More

Great turnaround for fast shipping. AS for the product itself, it's been really fun to watch those old episodes. I had forgotten just how funny it was. I wish I could order more. . . . .

I loved Murphy Brown when it was first-run on TV, I loved the show in reruns when I could find them and now I can watch it any time I want to. I've played the whole set twice since I got it and won't stop for a long time. If you loved the show, you MUST buy this DVD set. You MUST! Don't make Murphy play one of her pranks on you!
