If there's ever a Jeopardy question "What is the only sitcom episode to entirely take place in a car pool outside of the opening scene?", the answer is "Murphy Brown". The episode opens with Corky beeping from her car as Murphy runs around looking for her pumps, a note book and keys. Frank's already in there, depressed and with a loaded donut, and when they pick up miyles, they are interrupted by Audrey delivering "Pookie" his forgotten breakfast. Jim's afraid he's going to be late for an interview, and Murphy's spending her time writing her will. They get into some frivolous arguments, with Murphy dismissing Corky's knowledge of certain things, and when they go to park it in the garage, they have to regroup to become the professional team that they are. Only Diane English and her writing team could take a theme like this and make it funny and profound and intelligent. This is life. This is comedy. And that's why the show stands the test of time.
