10/10

What's with the '7' score?

Both reviews of this super episode give it a 10, and a 10 it should be. Grant Shaud gets some well-deserved time in the sun here--amusingly assisted in later scenes by Yeardley Smith as an adorable nuisance.

The rest of the FYI team are on tenterhooks as they do their best to talk Miles through the crisis-in-the-making at the airport. Shaud handles the scenes and tightly-wound comic deliveries deftly, as Miles earns his newsman's stripes.

(It's not easy dealing with a potential mad bomber and a lovestruck Yeardley.) All ten original seasons of Murphy Brown really need to be more widely distributed. If Warner Brothers and Motown can't work out a music royalty deal, they can release the series with alternate music dubbed at the beginning of each episode. It's been done.
