take THAT, rats! ping

[Captain Peter Blood]

I was going to watch Murphy Brown just to see how everyone has aged. Phone call from a buddy in the Soviet People’s State of California took precedence.

I was going to to try and watch it on Amazon, I saw the Magnum PI reboot on there and thought I could see Murphy Brown, no such luck and I am not paying to get CBS All Access. So a no go. I heard it was bad, I had no idea they would trot Hillary Clinton on, that is Lame.

CBS will probably give it a full season no matter what.

[MayflowerMadam]

Right. New Mandy is a fail.

[GreenHornet]

I watched it last night. Very good! The new Mandy will take a little getting used to, but then again, they had a different Kristin in the first season. I hope they can bring back Jay Leno as “Joe”, the mechanic. The interaction between him and Tim Allen was great on the previous episodes.

“I watched on Twitter a few days ago, and then again last night; I wanted it to help the ratings.”

I did the same. Fridays have always been a tough night for television because of high school activities, baseball pennant races, etc. But LMS will move to another day next year because WWE is coming to Fox on Friday nights.

Good show considering they had to catch up on what happened during the past 18 months, introduce the two new actors, and mock ABC in 21 minutes.

Sure would be funny if Tim Allen wrote Roseanne into his LMS show as a neighbor or something.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Any streaming means to watch previous season episodes?

Here is an article why Molly Ephraim, the original Mandy, could not resume her role.

Awesome idea.

[Boomer]

Funny! I thought the same thing! Great minds...

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I agree. The new Mandy looked like it was a lot of effort on her part to play the ditzy role of Mandy. To the old Mandy it came naturally to her.

[bgill]

It was on the tv here.

[minnesota_bound]

They got a bit preachy for me with that liberal crying about who was president and everyone fighting. The new Mandy is too different...too tall.

The Cool Kids was good. No politics, just insults with each other among the characters.

[Albion Wilde]

And -— we can add to its ratings by watching it anytime, online! Cheaper than buying a TIVO if you already have Internet service.

"I had heard that Allen’s political bent was going to be very toned down on Fox. It wasn’t."

I must have watched a different show then. All I saw was 28 minutes of POTUS/Republican bashing with NO rebuttal from the two alleged 'Pubbies (Mike and Eve), followed by about 1.5 minutes of a Kumbaya in the form of Mike's vlog.

Every political opinion expressed was leftist, and the whole show was about how the awful new administration was tearing the family and country apart. Sorry, but I don't see how this show is different than any other on any network/cable channel.

All 7 seasons are available on Hulu.
