A pre-Star Trek: Voyager Kate Mulgrew guest stars as Hillary, the woman hired to temporarily replace the pregnant Murphy (Candice Bergen) on "FYI". Everyone on the staff is fascinated by the Toronto-bred Hillary's range of expertise and incredible on-camera poise. Everyone, that is, except Murphy, who quickly discerns that Hillary is on the verge of becoming a problem drinker--just as Murphy herself had once been. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
After the sudden death of the network's Sunday night anchorman, both Murphy (Candice Bergen) and Jim (Charles Kimbrought) vie to fill in for the unfortunate man until a permanent replacement is chosen. The rivalry between the two coworkers spills over into their weekly "FYI" duties, resulting in a "Battle of the Divas" than no opera house could ever boast! While this may be funny to the viewer, it's anything but amusing to network executive Kinsella (Alan Oppenheimer), who may be forced to take drastic action. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Soft-hearted Norm (George Wendt) is unable to issue orders to his painting crew. At the suggestion of Frasier (Kelsey Grammer), Norm invents a nasty, disciplinarian "partner" to keep his crew in line. Meanwhile, Sam (Ted Danson) agonizes over his decision to sell his precious Corvette so he can afford to repurchase Cheers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
