Murphy Brown: What You Need to Remember About How the Original Series Ends

No workplace series is complete without a nearby bar or cafe where the cast can congregate, and no fictional bar is complete without a friendly-but-gruff bartender. Phil (Pat Corley) knows everything about everyone in Washington, down to the most ridiculous details. His character seemed to be killed off in season eight, but in the finale, he reappears, revealing that he'd been forced to disappear because he finally knew too much about the wrong people. He finds time, though, to pop back up and dispense a bit of advice to a frightened Murphy.
