7. Season Ten’s Story Arc Almost Didn’t Happen

In season ten, Murphy is confronted with breast cancer, a plot line that CBS executives were leery of producing (because it seems like a total downer). They wanted Murphy Brown to suffer through menopause instead. Producer Diane English once again put her foot down and insisted that the series go with the previously agreed upon plan. In the wake of the storyline, the number of mammograms scheduled by American women increased by 30 percent.
