Revive This

We loved Scrubs, NBC's medical comedy launched in 2001. We loved everything about it as it evolved from a semi-serious dramady into a late-Seinfeldian farce. 

Now we can't watch it.

Nothing, absolutely nothing- music, fashion, ideas - age worse than sit-coms.

Which brings is to the revival of Murphy Brown:

So yes, the revival, again run by Emmy-winning creator Diane English, is conscious that the world has changed in the 20 years since we last saw Murphy and friends. The problem is that Murphy Brown itself really hasn’t, and that does more to tarnish the real show’s legacy than anything else.

What the reviewer is trying to say, we think, is that Murphy Brown feels trapped in 1992. 

Remember that? Dan Quayle? Single mothers? And oh yes, the smug-preachiness.

Also in 1992 news anchors and their shows really mattered. Not so much anymore.

We watched Murphy Brown. We liked Murphy Brown. Why not? Back then we were a conservative Democrat. But unlike Murphy Brown, we've changed.
