In the early to mid '90s, Candice Bergen was the reigning queen of television sitcoms. Her smash hit series Murphy Brown ran from 1989 to 1997, and during its run, it made a fairly significant cultural impact by touching on hot-button issues and poignant themes that were previously unexplored on television shows.
Candice Bergen starred as the eponymous Murphy Brown, a famed investigative journalist and news anchor for a fictional newsmagazine program called FYI. Later in the series, brown fronted the 'Murphy in the Morning' cable morning news program.
The show was groundbreaking in more ways than one. For one thing, it had a markedly feminist tone, making it one of the first shows on TV at the time that were willing to speak out on issues involving single mothers and the cultural impact of women entering the workplace.
While this was seen as a victory for the women's rights crowd, not everyone was thrilled about its trailblazing edginess. You'll see what we mean by this when watching this video. As it turns out, even a former US Vice President once targeted the show for being too 'woke', although obviously, that term had yet to be coined.
After airing for 247 episodes over ten seasons, Murphy Brown came to an end. It was later rebooted by CBS in 2018 but was canceled after just one season. Watch this video in full to find out the real reasons why Murphy Brown was canceled not once but twice.
