I am not going to dissect this series. I just love it, all of it, the good and the bad. It just all came together and became a part of most people's Sunday Night in North America. People of all ages knew of Jessica Fletcher. People of all ages know of Angela Lansbury. Miss Lansbury, the regular cast, and guest stars made the end of everybody's weekend extra special. When the show started in reruns on A&E it was a blessing. Ill at the time "Murder, She Wrote" was the highlight of my day. Although on for twelve seasons, "Murder, She Wrote" and Dame Angela did not deserve the ending given it by CBS. Moved from it's regular Sunday time spot to a spot opposite the show "Friends". A strategic move to end the series, which was still doing well on Sunday night. Regardless "Murder, She Wrote lives on and is more than fondly remembered. As for Dame Angela, well the theatre before and after, "Murder, She Wrote", has found her to be a treasure and regarded by many as a living legend, both in and out of showbiz!

I really enjoyed this show. It was nice to see an older woman taking on lots of crimes and solving them. The usual formula involves a young person beating up lots of people, this show completely flipped that around. It was very well written, and had great acting. Angela Lansbury really had the acting chops, and was almost too talented for TV. I'm glad she had such a great show to showcase her abilities, when many actresses are shunted aside once they hit 30 or so. I really miss watching it with my family, as it was a staple at our house. There really isn't anything on the air right now that compares.

I also really like Law and Order and Diagnosis Murder, but this is my favourite of all. The main reason is because after a stressful day at school, I can switch on the TV, and watch the show on Alibi. Each episode is intriguing, and full of guest stars like Michael McKean, George Hearn, Keith Michell and Jerry Orbach. I can go on and on with the list. I do prefer the earier episodes, but there are a lot of standout later ones. Also, Angela Lansbury, a person who I really admire, is really entertaining as Jessica Fletcher, a murder mystery writer who finds murder everywhere she goes. You can never tell she is actually British, and if you see her in Beauty and the Beast and the original Manchurian Candidate, you'll understand why she's a fine actress. William Windom, Michael Horton, Ron Masak and Tom Bosley also make impressive supporting turns. In conclusion, a really entertaining show, worthy of a lot more recognition. 10/10 Bethany Cox

"Murder, She Wrote"(1984) has everything you need and want. You can find there conspiracy, lies, love triangles, good sense of humor, and, of course, murders. Each episode of this show is an excellent piece of work. Each episode has at least one murder. In my opinion, Angela Lansbury was the best choice for the role of mystery writer Jessica B. Fletcher. She did a great job as an actress and also as the executive Producer of the show. Jessica can solve even most difficult murders, find the clues which police even weren't aware of and catch the murderer(s). Most of the times, there were cold blooded murderers. But sometimes, Jessica wished she was wrong because people committed crimes under extremely difficult issues in personal life. The writer Fletcher tries to help them to ease possible conviction and chargers.Anyway, the best mystery show ever.10 out of 10.
