May 18, 1998 –

The final episode (or so we thought) of Murphy Brown, Never Can Say Goodbye, aired on CBS-TV on this date. (The re-boot of the series ran for about a year.)
One of the running series jokes was Murphy Brown’s inability to get a good secretary or one that could work with her. During the show’s 10-year run, Murphy had a total of 93 secretaries. (During my run as an executive at a multinational entertainment corporation that I am legally barred from mentioning it, I had a total of 17 secretaries, including one who didn’t like to file. After we could find certain documents, she was let go. My staff then created a contest of hunting down where she stashed various files. Best location – shoved in desks of other departments.)
