THE CONNERS is getting a dose of mama drama when Candice Bergen guest stars on the ABC comedy as Ben’s (Jay R. Ferguson) mother, Barb.
The character is described as having a “superior air and a sharp tongue, but she’s much more agreeable when she’s had a few drinks. She’s judgmental about Ben’s relationship with [Sara Gilbert’s] Darlene, and describes the Conner house as, ‘Like one of those places they break into on that program COPS.'”
Bergen, whose TV credits include MURPHY BROWN, BOSTON LEGAL, and HOUSE, will make her debut on the series on Wednesday, January 13.

Murphy Brown
Multiple Emmy Award winners Candice Bergen and series creator Diane English reunite for MURPHY BROWN, the revival of the ground-breaking comedy about the eponymous broadcast news legend and her biting take on current events, now in a world of 24-hour cable, social media, 'fake news' and a vastly different political climate. Amid a divided nation, chaotic national discourse and rampant attacks on the press, Murphy decides to return to the airwaves and recruits her FYI team: lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood, investigative journalist Frank Fontana, and her former wunderkind news producer Miles Silverberg. Joining them is social media director Pat Patel, who is tasked with bringing Murphy and the team into the 21st century. Murphy's millennial son, Avery, shares his mother's competitive spirit and quick wit, and is following in her journalistic footsteps-perhaps too closely. The team still lets off steam at Phil's Bar, now run by his sister, Phyllis. Now back in the game, Murphy is determined to draw the line between good television and honest reporting, proving that the world needs Murphy Brown now more than ever. MURPHY BROWN returns Thursday, Sept. 27 (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
