Flashback to Election 2016, a lowlights movie with the Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil", while Murphy Brown wakes up from this nightmare on November 8, 2016. But wait! On television, nothing less than Avery Brown reports Donald J. Trump won the presidency. Screaming cue. Zoom out from Earth from space, zoom in on the March of Women on January 20, 2017. (Why not, I wrote more or less those months.)
We are at Phil's, everyone! Let's all get cold. The first to arrive is Murphy, in a gladiator helmet with a cascade of pink feathers ("It was time to move up a gear, we are at war now.") Here is Frank Fontana in a pussy hat, as it shows that I am safe in my masculinity and in solidarity with the women who are there. " And how many phone numbers did it have? Two. He called one, probably 1-888-SOLANAS, and now he has a time share in Boca. Corky arrives without a hat but wearing Ivanka Trump pumps, $ 1 the shoe. The money is tight since it's been replaced by a younger model on Wake America, where the weather girl's medical leave for a "foot surgery" turned out to be a job, and now she has taken Corky's place. In any case, they all miss reports. Frank adds, "I loved being famous." THE MEDITERRANEAN SHITTY MEN ALWAYS DO, FRANK. It does not matter, ignore it. Maybe they should think about going back on the air? A Capital city idea!
Cut to the primal scene: Millennial returns home. Avery Brown walks through the door with a gym bag and the news that he will anchor his own show for … the Wolf Network.
Why? Loop, we are about to discover how David Brooks did in the writers room: "to have a real impact," "to change the culture," "to be the voice of reason." Pickup trucks, super coupons, Americans love it or push them – who "deserve a voice". They already have one, Murphy says. (She's right, The conners premieres next month.)
So, the news of Avery! What is the mother? Wolf Channel's competitor, CNC, embarks on the gang.
The problem – it's a Greek tragedy! – are they broadcast in the same time slot, from 7 am to 9 pm. "No way," she said. "Brown versus Brown?" Avery said. And they turn away and say in unison, "You are so going down. The game is running !! (It's good L & # 39; Odyssey.) Since I am actually paid to read far too much in this: is this step up for Avery a step down for Murphy? He says he thinks it's "awesome" but the way he says Queen broadcast television makes the switch to cable information? Does not sound so flattering. Are we planting the seeds of a meditation on how society views older women and their achievements and legacies, that is, the IIHRC, a problem that also appeared in the 2016 election cycle? I would be in that.
Where is Miles? Living at the Watergate Hotel, "look like Nixon in his last days". Broken by two years of work View ("Every day was like an episode of The iron Throne"), Miles" had to leave a moment. "When he left, he immediately relapsed: he watched Twitter. "The hottest temperatures recorded, mass shootings, North Korean nuclear bombs" – and his voice falters and he stutters "Mmmmmmmatt LauerAnd hands his hands plaintively and – look, I do not know if Grant Shaud has ever felt resentment about Miles Silverberg for the best-known role, but my GodIt is perfect, it is perfect. The idea of going back to work on the news of the cable reduces the number of kilometers to a shaking ground on the ground. But they know that he misses journalism, and they miss them too, right? An excellent quote that I have already read is that "the family is a car accident whose victims never recover".
T-minus a week, CNC excavation visit, meeting with the social media coordinator. Corky says, "I guess that's you?" And our guy Pat Patel says, "You assume that because I'm Indian, I'm the technician?" A beat during which I said aloud, "No, it's because you're right next to Miles, "but Pat Patel says," Because I'm !!! Is this an SJW joke? Probably. We know that Pat Patel is a millennial because he caresses Murphy's cell phone with respect. But you have to go. Murphy says social media is "for people who show their indignation and express their opinions, and as we all know, I do not care what other people think." Vain as purebred. This is our Murph!
So, is this new morning a step forward? Maybe not, because Murphy still has a secretary and they send a candidate now. (That will get the 98th Secretary through the revolving door.) It's Hill … sorry, it's Hilary-with-one-L Clinton. She is wearing a red suit. She is overqualified for this job. Murphy will call him. And then, because reboots relate to greeting wishes, the DVR's response to the problem of stairway hoping, the doors of the elevator are closing while Murphy reads his email address at high voice – "[email protected]" – and we see the sublime expression of Hillary. We let the woman take a bow.
T-minus eight hours or more: Murph is still there when Avery comes home, just in time to talk before going to bed: they are both in first tomorrow. Ugh, Avery's show is about traveling across the country and giving "real people the platform they never get". Murphy wins this one, not with an elitist joke, but with the truth: "No one wants to hear a debate in rented shoes. She has just won The Dozens.
Ok, Avery will help set up Twttr. What should be his new handle? @MurphyBrown is already taken – and there is a lot of Murphy Brown, and a lot of them are … Labradoodles. @RealMurphyBrown this will be (which is actually BTW is Diane English's pseudo Twitter, she's not a labradoodle). "Hello people from Twitter!", She teases, and it's the best first tweet I've ever seen. "This is a funny fact: I already had an appointment with Donald Trump … he shared the check with us." Twitter is in fact the ideal support for Murphy Brown, for whom throwing a gasoline match is a personal brand !!! She hits that button, against Avery's advice, with a real taste. This is Chekhov's Tweet – he must become viral in the next scene. Go to bed, Avery. Mom has work to do.
T-minus ten minutes to SHOWTIME! First, a climate change segment – the director of the Trump Tower Gift Shop, who became the EPA's senior director on the ground, is crossing the ice in the middle of the sentence. So it happens. You know who's watching the tweet. Pat Patel does not need to tell Murphy to feed the troll because she has enough adrenaline to lift a car from a toddler. Frank reads aloud: "Nobody remembers who Old Murphy is. She attacks me for advertising "- and, in the voice, we all practice -"Sad!Is Murphy worried that he is "hitting 10 times harder"? No, and here is the money drawn: "You bring it! Hashtag Dan Quayle!
Cut to Murphy – who always wears beautiful pajamas! – lamenting to Avery that she is becoming the thing she despises. She hardly allows herself a second nasty joy Murphy in the morning launched a coast strike and Avery's Show About Quote: Real People do not have it. Since, you know, it was good TV, but not real journalism. "It's not right," she says. "I do not deserve these numbers." Avery makes fun, "Yeah, but you got" em! " no support, Avery. You are not supposed to agree. I have an eye on you.
The little pisspot (she said, not me) goes to bed and Murph finally takes a minute to feel the glory. She looks at the wall painting of the industrial revolution that Eldin painted on the ceiling so long ago and smiled: "Old Murphy, my ass".
• There are a lot of useless jokes for kids these days. "The protest marches are Benedict's new eggs," says Phyllis, Phil's sister. I guess if the protest marches involve a slightly temperamental sauce that is not doing well on the burners all morning and that is disgusting at the end of the service – of course, Phyllis. But, she continues, while serving Irish coffee to Murphy, "keep the Irish", it's good for business: "Angry women drink a lot of Chardonnay." You are my wine charm, Phyllis.
• There are three or four jokes about Murphy's alcoholism (see above), which is strange because her healing was mentioned in the first episode and she chewed a lot of pencils in Season 1, but this was not really a thing after. But there is no mention of the fact that Corky and Miles the usual to be married.
• It's filled with little delights: a needle pillow on Murphy's couch that says "TIRED-ASS HONKY HO", a mug in Miles' apartment with "Feel the Pain," a ticker which includes "GWAR". "ORIGINAL NASTY WOMAN" sweatshirt by Murphy.
