Murphy Brown

Is it possible that the TV show Murphy Brown might be due for a rebirth in the cultural awareness?  Three times in the last month I've seen the same young guy on the bus watching episodes of it on his phone, and I wonder if there's a new generation that might appreciate it in a nostalgia/kitsch way, like Golden Girls or Three's Company.  I watched it pretty often and it was good, in my memory.  Kind of captured that zeitgeist of the powerful working woman trying to have it all, big hair, big shoulder pads, unconventional personal life.  I guess it was a ground-breaking concept on TV.
