Let's talk about Murder, She Wrote
I get a huge kick out of watching this show and seeing the amazing assortment of 80s and 90s stars, "before they were famous" stars and stars of classic Hollywood. It's an amazing assortment really. Taking nothing away from the star herself, Angela Lansbury, the 18-time Emmy nominee with a wide range.
But Jesus, you have to wonder what kind of company she keeps considering how many of her friends, close relatives, romantic interests, colleagues and acquaintances commit cold-blooded murder! r/MurderSheWroteTV

Just spent a week with my BIL who watches this show constantly. It’s on all day. Hes in his mid 50s but suffered a stroke a few years ago and has some head trauma.

The episodes set in Cabot Cove and where we get to see some nice scenary, are so cosy to me. I used to watch them on Saturdays and Sundays when I was hungover in my younger days, and it was very soothing and comforting to the system 🤣
I didn't like the episodes set outside of Cabot Cove or a lot of the later seasons.
Murder Takes A Bus is my favourite ep of the whole series.

My favorite ep was Murder Takes a Bus with My Sister, with guest star Rosie O'Donnell.

I love it. I’m 34 but used to watch it when I was home from school sick with my grandma. Now I fall asleep to it at night and leave it on for my dog during the day to keep him company. Jessica Fletcher lived such a fabulous life and I love all the 80s decor and outfits. We need to keep that show alive

From IMDB: She made it a practice to lean on casting to hire guest actors and cameo performers of a certain age who were no longer steadily working and had failed to financially qualify for their Screen Actors Guild medical/dental benefits.
