DVD Reviews of Murder, She Wrote - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Angela Lansbury sleuths up a storm in landmark debut season of "Murder, She Wrote"
Summary: 4 Stars
What a joy this series was...and continues to be. I remember watching the show with my grandmother years ago, but it's quite amazing that I'm loving it even more now on DVD. MURDER, SHE WROTE showcased the talents of Angela Lansbury as retired schoolteacher and acclaimed mystery novelist, Jessica "J.B." Fletcher. Jessica's inspiration for her books comes in the various murders and intrigues that constantly come her way, even in her sleepy hometown of Cabot Cove, Maine. Recurring characters in this and the early seasons include Sheriff Amos Tupper (Tom Bosley), local fisherman Ethan (Claude Akins); and Jessica's nephew Grady (Michael Horton).
MURDER, SHE WROTE ran for twelve seasons (plus several additional TV movies); and attracted a veritible galaxy of guest stars, drawn from the stage and screen. There's no gratuitous sex or violence on display; bad language is kept to a minimum...yep, these were the days, alright! Perfect entertainment for those lazy weekend afternoons.
