[Review: Murphy Brown]

 From: Chris Baird
 Date: 11 Sep 92

I received the following from a friend who doesn't have the means (or
the nerve:) to post it himself.  Credits should go to Gavan McCormack
for spotting another yet-another-cameo by Ms. Smith in ``Murphy Brown''.

And now, over to Gavan..

(It was the only time I ever watched Murphy Brown, I actually caught it by an extreme fluke.) An apparently rookie reporter is on location at a foreign airport when there is a Hijacking. Said reporter is extremely nervous at the prospect of having to report it. After setbacks, criticism, encouragement, blah blah blah, he gets the story through ok, but throughout all of this, a woman (Yeardley) who is endeared to him coz of the situation, keeps chatting-up/nagging/pestering him. (Her character is similar to Louise in HH.) This reporter guy isn't particularly impressed with her. Anyway, at the end when everyone is congratulating the reporter, he says [with gusto] ``I could take on anything in the world.'' Of course, at that moment Yeardley enters.
