1. Only via reruns...
You forgot "The Prisoner". :D Except it's not a comedy...

3. I think Murphy Brown was the last of quality network sitcoms of that sort

4. Too risky nowadays.
It's too much of a risk to alienate half of your possible viewing audience right off the bat by including politics. No network, and probably few advertisers, would back such a show.

There is, however, American Dad. It kinda sucks though.

5. I love Murphy Brown.
Sometimes I tape it at 6a.m to watch later that day, but they put something else on a lot of times. I wish they would put it in a time slot and leave it there.
I think they are afraid to show it because of the political content.
