Murphy Brown

Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen) is a recovering alcoholic who returns to the fictional investigative-news magazine FYI for the first time after completing treatment at the Betty Ford Clinic. In her forties and single, she’s razor-sharp, fearless, and unyielding. In her field, she’s regarded as one of the guys, having shattered numerous glass ceilings throughout a trailblazing career. Dominating the FYI newsroom, she’s portrayed as one of America’s hardest-hitting media personalities, though not the warmest or most sympathetic.
