Murphy Brown is a flop. The premiere audience was 40% of what Roseanne got.

Red wave.

Roseanne premiere: 5.1 in the demo, 18.16 million viewers
Will and Grace premiere: 2.9 in the demo 10.04 million viewers
Murphy Brown premiere: 1.1 in the demo, 7.4 million viewers

Muh Blue Wave.

So, the question is....which is a bigger flop?

Murphy Brown, or Magnum P I? Or should we start to include the Roseanne (without Roseanne) Show?

[4yearlurker]

So the Trump Administration hit piece TV show was a flop. Go figure.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I bet tonight's re-premiere of Tim Allen's Last Man Standing blows this away.

I never watched that trash the first time around.

Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.

Roseanne threw Trump voters one bone, one time. That was smart marketing. I have little doubt that Roseanne would have gone on to push the same feminist/leftist crap it did in its original form. Restarting Murphy Brown is about like the Democrats running Hillary again in 2020.

Is the new Roseanne-less tv show out yet?

Just wondering. I don't watch tv anymore.

[Moonman62]

TV is already saturated with elderly, unattractive liberals.

[Big Red Badger]

Hill in 2020!
Ha.

Murphy Brown‘s brand of topical progressive humor.

Whatever that might be, one thing that it is definitely not....is funny.

On behalf of untold millions....No Thanks! Pass!

[EdnaMode]

Murphy Brown did worse I believe.

[MacMattico]

Hillary was actually a guest on the show and Candace Bergen said it was all about the resistance. What did they expect?

[dfwgator]

What’s funny is that a few years after the original show ended, Candace Bergen basically admitted that Dan Quayle was right about single parents.

[wally_bert]

Barney Miller reruns would do better if counted.

[onona]

surprisingly modest

bwahahahahahahahaa

[miss marmelstein]

An old, fat (once beautiful) actress with corded neck muscles and a dogged delivery that makes John Houseman look like Martin Short returns in a somewhat amusing tv show from 35 years ago and they were expecting a hit?
