20 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled

10. Murphy Brown

Murphy Brown
CBS

The original Murphy Brown ran for ten years and 247 episodes. It was a huge hit for CBS back in the late 80s and early-to-mid-90s, so you can kinda see why, when there are so many revivals around, they decided to bring it back.

Candace Bergen returned as the titular journalist, with the show aiming to tackle the rise of misinformation and fake news. What it couldn't take on, though, were viewers' changing tastes. The series averaged under a million viewers in the 18-49 demo, and after just one season consisting of 13 episodes, Murphy Brown is off the air (presumably for good).

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
