Murphy Brown Revival Cancelled After Terrible Ratings – IOTW Report

Murphy Brown Revival Cancelled After Terrible Ratings

NB: The far-left Murphy Brown revival has been cancelled after just 13 episodes, according to the Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. The entertainment outlet explained that the show managed just a “0.9 in the key 18-49 demo.” Ouch. The only reason the show came back at all, according to its stars, is the loss of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The most recent episode saw the title character, (played by Candice Bergen) threatening and intimidating ICE agents in order to stop a raid.

Bergen appeared on the September 26, 2018 CBS This Morning and openly admitted that the show returned as a result of Hillary Clinton’s loss: “We didn’t have a motivation do it. We didn’t really have the meat or a story. And then when the election happened, I mean, if Hillary had won, we would just be dancing in the streets.” 

Co-host Gayle King promoted the absurd fiction that the series isn’t “a Donald Trump bashing show either.”

Co-star Ford agreed, claiming:

No, it’s not. It’s really not. We’re staying on point with issues. I mean, there really are a lot of issues going on that were going on then and are still going on. And we’re dealing with them. And that’s predominately what our show is about.

  1. Go figure. They overplayed their cards.
    To think there’s a market for a virtue signaling, finger wagging, Trump slamming, deplorable shaming, teevee show starring an old, fat, washed up has-been.

    That market is over saturated Candace, it’s called the news.

  2. Wait for it: The show failed because America is racist, bigoted, xenophobic, homophobic, and etc.

    Real reason is that they can’t force feed America their Hollywood commie crap, yet.

  3. Funny how a liberal political “comedy” goes down the tubes, but a show like “Last Man Standing” gets revived again in syndication, and also revived as a new show on another channel.

    Libs should stick with shows like “House Of Cards” with actors like kevin spacey…..whoops, never mind!

  4. Well deserved cancellation. “Murphy Brown” is an of old, played out feminitwit series. The Left’s constant whining, lecturing and vile hatred of conservatism has backfired. Hope “The Conners” are next.
    BTW, a great conservative leaning series, “Seal Team” on CBS is getting high ratings. Worth the watch.
