Murphy Brown (1988–2018)

The show's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology, particularly regarding women's independence and non-traditional family structures, often directly challenging conservative viewpoints and societal norms.

While the core cast of 'Murphy Brown' largely reflected traditional demographics, the series' narrative was groundbreaking for its explicit and consistent critique of traditional gender roles, conservative politics, and societal norms, particularly through its central character's independent lifestyle and career.
