Poll: Face-Off: Murphy Brown vs. Shirley Schmidt

Candice Bergen has been in dozens of big-screen movies but today she may be best known for her two biggest TV roles: Shirley Schmidt, the intelligent, confident law partner (and object of affection of both Denny Crane and Alan Shore) in "Boston Legal" and the iconic Murphy Brown, the smart, sarcastic, and sassy TV journalist from the TV series by the same name, which recently launched a brand-new season with the original cast from the show's first ten years when Murphy was making as many real-life headlines as she was covering them on the series. Which Candice Bergen character with a big personality occupies the bigger place in your heart?

Battle it out, like Ms. Brown and Ms. Schmidt would, here.
