* GilliganCut: In "Birth 101", each member of the cast has a moment on Murphy's baby video, giving a message to her future child. Miles (whose hand is bandaged) tells the baby:
-->'''Miles''': But I want you to know that your mother behaved as best she could... under the circumstances.\\
''[Cut to Murphy's hospital room, where she is throttling Miles hard enough to yank him off his feet.]''\\
'''Murphy''': You son of a bitch! You '''man'''! '''You''' did this to me! You and every other '''man'''! I'm TakingYouWithMe!

Twenty years after it originally went off the air, CBS announced in 2018 that a {{revival}} of the series was in the works, officially premiering in September of that year. Most of the original cast returned to reprise their roles, with the additions of Tyne Daly as the sister of bar owner Phil (his actor died in 2006) and Creator/JakeMcDorman as Murphy's son Avery, now an adult. In the revival, Murphy is galvanized to return to news television after UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is elected President, only to discover that Avery --who has since become a news pundit on a conservative network-- is hosting a show of his own in the same timeslot. The revival only ran for a single season, officially ending after CBS chose not to order further episodes following its season finale.

** There's also the fact that the show's entire tone seemed geared to Baby Boomers. Alongside the Motown soundtrack and the heavy protest-era nostalgia, the Boomers Murphy and Frank come off a lot better than Jim (the senior anchor, who is an [[TheComicallySerious old fuddy-duddy]]) and Corky (the Gen-Xer, who starts off a [[BrainlessBeauty total moron]]).
** The revival takes place in 2018 and adheres to the same philosophy, with rapid-fire skewering of the presidency of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump (including Brown's BigNo reaction towards his election, the presidency's denial of climate change, and his use of social media to attack media personalities he doesn't agree with -- and that's just the first episode) and the modern state of cable news (with CNC and Wolf being parodies of CNN and Fox News Channel).
