Murphy Brown is an American situation comedy which aired on CBS from November 14, 1988, to May 18, 1998, for a total of 247 episodes. The program starred Candice Bergen as the eponymous Murphy Brown, a famous investigative journalist and news anchor for FYI, a fictional CBS television newsmagazine.
The program was well known for stories inspired by current events and its political satire. It achieved a high level of cultural notoriety in the 1992 presidential campaign when Dan Quayle mentioned the show in a campaign speech, afterwards known as the "Murphy Brown speech".
The show began in the Monday 9/8 p.m. timeslot and remained there until its final season when it was moved to Wednesday at 8:30/7:30 p.m. The series finale aired in its original Monday timeslot.
Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen) is a recovering alcoholic, who, in the show's first episode, returns to the fictional newsmagazine FYI for the first time following a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic. Over 40 and single, she is sharp-tongued and hard as nails. In her profession, she is considered one of the boys, having shattered any glass ceilings encountered during her career. Dominating the FYI news magazine, she is portrayed as one of America's hardest-hitting (though not the warmest or more sympathetic) media personalities.
Brown as your beautiful eyes, you’re all mine
I want you like you want me, all the time
Don’t say that you don’t want me, don’t make me run away
Cos I need that something you bring me every day
Brown as your beautiful eyes, this song’s for you
I wrote this song that I’m singing just for you
If words could paint a picture, there’d be no more to say
And I’d be the greatest painter in this whole world today
And I know what I feel and I know that it’s real
And I feel it every day
And I’m not gonna lay no story on you girl
If my story won’t come true
Cos you must know by now, I wrote this song for you
Brown as your beautiful eyes, you’re all mine
I know you want me like I want you, all the time
And if you’re not sure I love you, then soon you’ll know you’re mine
Listen to this song I’m singing, I’ll sing it one more time
Brown eyes, you’re beautiful and you’re mine
Brown eyes, I love you all the time
