What Parents Need to Know
About Murphy Brown
Parents need to know that the main character Murphy, while a good role model for women in the workplace, is incredibly sarcastic, and her wry one-liners might fly over the heads of younger viewers. The show makes frequent references to politicians and other newsmakers of the late '80s and '90s; that, plus the already-dated fashions and hairstyles, may make the series seem irrelevant to today's kids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about workplace etiquette. How do you do a job well and treat colleagues with respect? If you have a problem with someone you work with, how should you handle it? Is it ever OK to yell at or belittle a co-worker (or a classmate or a friend)? How is the FYI team like a family? Are people more likely to become close friends with co-workers if they spend long hours at the office?
