Why the 'Murphy Brown' revival could become Donald Trump's worst nightmare?

Viewers can expect some sharp jabs keeping in mind the current political climate, issues of sexual harassment and the attack on media. Creator Diane English shares some insight.

Star reporter Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen) is coming back on television with more politically-charged stories. The original CBS series, which aired from 1988 through 1998, will return for a 13-episode revival this fall and when that happens, viewers can expect some sharp jabs keeping in mind the current political climate, issues of sexual harassment and the attack on media. 

Ahead of the series premiere on September 27, however, 'Murphy Brown' creator Diane English shared some early insight, telling the press at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour what to expect from the titular character, the show, and the topical episodes this time around.
