Candice Bergen returns as the eponymous broadcast news legend in the revival of the groundbreaking comedy series MURPHY BROWN. Back in the game after a brief retirement, and faced with a world of 24-hour cable, social media, “fake news” and a vastly different political climate, Murphy is determined to draw the line between good television and honest reporting, proving that the world needs Murphy Brown now more than ever. Thirty years since the critically acclaimed, multiple-award-winning show premiered, and 20 years since it concluded, this revival reunites Bergen with series creator Diane English and original series co-stars Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto and Grant Shaud. Jake McDorman, Nik Dodani and Tyne Daly also star. The series premieres Thursday, Sept. 27 (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT).
THE NEIGHBORHOOD stars Cedric the Entertainer, Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs and Tichina Arnold in a comedy about what happens when a friendly Midwesterner (Greenfield) moves his family to a Los Angeles neighborhood next door to Calvin Butler (Cedric), who’s concerned the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block and doesn’t appreciate Dave’s extreme neighborliness. Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears and Hank Greenspan also star. The series premieres Monday, Oct. 1 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT).
