Jay Thomas has stated that this show will never be rerun or released on DVD due to the ongoing feud concerning revenue-sharing between producers Diane English, Joel Shukovsky and CBS president Leslie Moonves. However, it has turned up on streaming services such as Tubi and Amazon Prime.
Susan Dey was fired after the first season because the producers felt that she and Jay Thomas lacked chemistry. Dey was replaced with Annie Potts.
After Candice Bergen and the set of Murphy Brown (1988) made a guest appearance in the Seinfeld (1989) episode The Keys (1992) - where Kramer (Michael Richards) is hired as an actor to play Murphy's secretary - Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David returned the favor by appearing as themselves on this other sitcom by Murphy Brown creator Diane English, episode Let's Not Call It Love (1993), where they receive a Seinfeld script written by a Blue Shamrock customer, in which Kramer sleeps with Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). This also echoes Elaine's writing a Murphy Brown script in the above mentioned Seinfeld episode.
