[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 403435, member: 57984"] In a weird way, I didn't really mind Candice (I always want to spell her name with two "A"s as well) Bergen's woodenness, at least early on, as that just seemed be her default comedic setting -- even in her SNL appearance. It comes off as a parodic kind of delivery and almost works on that level. But as MURPHY BROWN became tired, her stilted delivery aged badly as well. If the material isn't there, nothing else works. Frankly, I might have liked to have seen Fairchild turned into a semi-regular on MURPHY BROWN, sort of Murphy's libidinous, political-oriented equivalent of Sue Anne Nivens... Better that than the unnecessary add-on of Lily Tomlin in the final season. (Nothing against Lily, but she might have been better used as the networks' switchboard operator).
