DVD Reviews of Murder, She Wrote - The Complete Eighth Season
DVD Review: Murder She Wrote
Summary: 5 Stars
The Eighth Season of Murder She Wrote has more of the great acting of Angela Lansbury. A diverse and entertaining supporting cast completes a delightful season of mystery solving fun. Watching the series sequentially through the years is a delightful trip through fashion and technology changes as Jessica Fletcher grows more experienced in her sleuthing skill.DVD Review: Murder She Wrote 8th Season
Summary: 3 Stars
the 1st CD holder was broken and there was no 1st CD in the case. The second CD was in the case but it started with part 2 of the show ending the missing 1st CD. I have not sent it back I thought because it was opened it may not be allowed.DVD Review: The downward descent continues
Summary: 3 Stars
As far as I'm concerned, Season 6 was the beginning of the end for "Murder She Wrote". In that season, Jessica (Angela Lansbury) only appeared in 13 of the 22 episodes, with alternative "detectives" in the remaining episodes. Season 7 continues the descent. Although there are only five episodes in this season in which Jessica isn't the detective, the guest stars aren't as impressive as in the earlier seasons (in the earlier seasons it was rare for there to be an episode where I hadn't heard of at least one of the guest stars, while by this season, it had become quite common) and many of the "regulars" (including Seth and Grady) have mysteriously vanished. The stories aren't too bad, though, and, in fact, are almost as good as those in the earlier seasons. If you can cope with the shortcomings of this season, then you shouldn't be too disappointed.DVD Review: Murder she wrote is the best TV show ever, but season 8 is not as strong as the previous series ( 1-7)
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, let me reiterate that Murder She wrote is my favorite TV series. As I have said in past reviews, the show defied Hollywood Standards by creating a heroine ( Jessica Fletcher) over 50. The character has incredible depth, and is incredibly well written and perfectly performed by Angela Lansbury. The character is inspirational for everyone, showing how a widow has a second chance at life after having lost her husband.
Nonetheless, Seasons 1-7 are MUCH better than 8. If you are a fan of the series and have seen 1-7, you'll notice how 8 has been revamped with a more Miami Vice feel; the music has been sexed up a bit ( they go back to how it was done in previous series come season 9, which is available on Netflix). The writing is also much weaker, save one or two strong episodes ( of course, the Cabot Cove ones!).
Then, Angela's character moves to New york for a good part of the series, and while in previous series the New York episodes were very strong, they were weak in 8. It was really a let down. But possibly the worst part was that the character ( Jessica Fletcher) had a different, much more metropolitan feel.
See, what makes this TV show is how Lansbury's character is so complex, as she is a small town woman who is highly educated but doesn't let the pomp and circumstance of the glitzy literary world change her spirit. That's what makes the show: how genuine and compassionate the lead character is.
But in 8, it's different.
Season 9 ( which again you can get on Netflix) they return to the 'old fashioned' music and traditional style of writing; nonetheless, 1-7 reign supreme.
If you are looking for an inspirational, well-written and groundbreaking show, Murder She Wrote ( with all its fantastic characters and guest stars) is for you!!
