The FYI gang is back.

After 20 years on hiatus, Murphy, Corky, Frank, and anxious producer Miles returned to CBS Thursday night in the first episode of the newly rebooted series. The decades away seem to have softened Murphy: While she lobbed a few barbs at President Donald, she was hardly the tyrant I recall from the first time the show was on TV. Instead of human flaws, sharp wit, and a hint of egomania, we get post-Trump Murphy, who has donned her pussy hat and joined the #Resistance.

In the premiere episode, Murphy's son, who was still in diapers when the show went off the air, is a reporter in his own right and has just agreed to host a morning show on the conservative news network WOLF (ahem). His show airs in the same time slot as her new cable talk show and (surprise!) family drama ensues. While there are some genuinely funny meta moments—the Dan Quayle jokes are good, though I doubt anyone under 35 will get them—it feels a whole lot like #Resistance porn for the Trump era. And, like porn, while you might feel temporarily satisfied, this show hardly juices the brain.

Of course, it's great to see the wonderful Candice Bergen on air again—even if seeing her immediately brings visions of Sprint commercials into your head—but the premiere episode felt stale, as though it were still November 2016 and we were sure that somehow Hillary would figure out how to save us. Clinton even makes an appearance in the show, playing Hilary (one L) Clinton, a 60-something woman applying for a job as Brown's new assistant. As she leaves, she hands Bergen a business card, Her email? Hilary@youcouldhavehadme.com. It's less amusing than it is sad.
