While it certainly seems like everything old is new again when it comes to network television, sometimes those returns to the past just don’t work out.  Such is the case with Murphy Brown, which returned to CBS last fall and failed to capture much of an audience.  For whatever reason, the revival just didn’t work.  The show felt out of place and the jokes seemed hackneyed.  Sadly, this probably won’t interfere with the next old show brought back to life.
