Well, not all reboots enjoy success, just ask the suits at CBS who've decided to drop "Murphy Brown."
The reason for the drop, bad ratings. The show that was so popular from 1988-1998 didn't enjoy the same success and could only muster a 0.9 Nielsen rating in its key demo of 18-49. Critics slammed the reboot of the show saying that there was too much politics and not enough comedy. The reboot was picked up for 13 episodes, but after those the network wil not continue with the show.
Did you watch any of the "Murphy Brown" reboot? Do you agree that it should be taken off TV?
