“Murphy Brown” is returning to television on CBS for 13 episodes during the 2018-2019 season. And while a lot has changed in media since Candice Bergen’s Brown hosted the fictional news broadcast “Fyi,” one thing that hasn’t changed is how hard it is to find good help. One of the longest recurring gags on “Murphy Brown” was how nearly every week Brown had a new wacky and incompetent secretary, everyone a man with a Hitler mustache to a pleasant looking woman who worshipped Satan. Over 90 people sat in that assistant’s chair over the show’s 10 seasons, including some celebrity cameos, but not one of them lasted.
