Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Art imitates life--sort of--when a TV network decides to fashion a sitcom based on the career of Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen). Hired to portray the fictional "Kelly Green" is glamorous blonde actress Janet St. Martin (Morgan Fairchild), who insists upon hanging around the "FYI" newsroom to soak up inspiration from the far-from-flattered Murphy. Real-life TV journalist Connie Chung appears as herself.
