Season 6 Episode 23 Really glad they addressed the age issue SPOILERS!

The on-screen chemistry between Murphy Brown and Peter Hunt (Scott Blakula) is quite palpable. But the actor is 8 years younger than Candace Bergen.

I assumed they weren't going to address the evident age difference -- that so often happens, particularly back then.

I was so surprised and pleased that they raised it in the script and raised it the way they did.

Today it may not be such a big deal with MILFs and now GILFs.

But I am two years younger than Candace and had my share of dating younger men in my 50's. Candace was (and is) a beautiful woman and there is no reason, given her character's brilliance and strong personality, that intelligent men would not be attracted to her in a deep way, even if she is almost a decade older.
