Season 4 ended up with a touching moment of Murphy holding her baby singing "Natural Woman", and I'm sure there were tears being shed all over the nation on that Monday night in 1992. She gets a round of applause when she returns to the FYI offices, and now she has to take on an even bigger task: Dan Quayle. She also gets a chance to ridicule the 'Dallas" dream season finale, but in Murphy's case, it is a real dream, highlighted by her new secretary crying like a baby upon meeting her. With Baby Brown at home, Murphy has a lot of new responsibilities, so taking on the vice president's claim that Murphy has destroyed the family unit will have her working overtime as well as the staff who has to deal with this controversy. The first part of this two-parter deals with Murphy's interviewing Nanny contenders, and that sets up a whole barrel of gags rivaling her continuous replacement of secretaries. Elden's interview of Nanny number one (Gloria Cromwell, a delightfully comic character actress, even in rigid interview attire) is quite funny, following immediately into two other interviews. But once again, Candice Bergen really aces every detail about Murphy, showing how the word mother and Murphy in her mind don't belong together in the same sentence.
