bradm Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Didn't Candace Bergen dump a trailer-load of potatoes on Quayle's lawn after he publicly criticized Murphy Brown for degrading American morals for choosing to be a single mom? Or was that actually a plotline from the show itself?According tohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy_BrownIn the show's 1991–1992 season, Murphy became pregnant and had a child, and after 6 months, she decided to name the baby Avery after her mother who was played by Colleen Dewhurst had died earlier in real life and on the show. This storyline made the show a subject of political controversy during the 1992 American presidential campaign. On May 19, 1992, then Vice President Dan Quayle spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. During his speech, he criticized the Murphy Brown character for ignoring the importance of fathers and bearing a child alone. Quayle's remarks caused a public discussion on family values, culminating in the 1992-93 season premiere ("You Say Potatoe, I Say Potato") where the television characters reacted to Quayle's comments and produced a special episode of FYI showcasing and celebrating the diversity of the modern American family. At the end, Brown arranges a retaliatory prank in which a truckload of potatoes is dumped in front of Quayle's residence, while a DJ commenting on the incident notes the Vice-President should be glad people weren't making fun of him for misspelling "fertilizer." When Candice Bergen won another Emmy that year, she thanked Dan Quayle. The feud was cited by E! as #81 on its list of "101 Reasons the '90s Ruled." (In 2002, Bergen said in an interview that she personally agreed with much of Quayle's speech, calling it "a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable" and adding that "nobody agreed with that more than I did.")The key thing is that it was the character of Murphy Brown (in a fictional episode of the series) who dumped the potatoes, not Candice Bergen in real life.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
