Murder, She Wrote - The Complete First Season (1984)

Jessica is America's Miss Marple...

I have always loved this show and have watched every one of the episodes during the years and am now watching them all over again. Don't you just love Jessica, our own Miss Marple. In the shows she is a retired school teacher who is now into writing murder mysteries, but who is solving a real life murder in every show. The cops may be stalled (or stupid), but Jessica is always on the ball. She's no namby pamby little old lady either. That tongue of hers can be quite sharp too and no one can best her when it comes to a battle of wits. Another reason to watch the shows is seeing all the actors and actresses you have forgotten over the years. I'm watching one now with Chuck Conners in it (from season 2) and I'd forgotten all about him. Every show is like that. You are constantly wandering who is that person? Jessica's facial expressions are hilarious to watch. She is a great actress, although this is the only role Angela Lansbury was in that I really liked all that much. I do believe that I like Jessica as much as I like Miss Marple. November 29, 2008

Murder, She Wrote: The First Season

My wife and I started watching "Murder, She Wrote" on the Hallmark Channel last year and we really enjoyed it. This is an entertaining show with a mystery writer, Jessica Fletcher from Cabot Cove Maine, solving murders. Judging from the number of shows she made, Jessica has an unusually large number of friends and relatives. These shows are light entertainment and having the DVD's makes it even more enjoyable because there are no commercials. The negative reviews about product quality made us hesitant to order them, but we have had no trouble with the quality of the DVD's. I think Universal has solved the problem people had earlier.

Just as good as I remembered!

I was hesitant to order a DVD of "Murder She Wrote" because of some bad reviews of the video quality. However, my copy came and I have viewed it with no trouble. The "missing scenes" mentioned in other reviews are simply planned cuts for the commercials - no scenes are omitted. I also had no trouble adjusting the color for good viewing - just used the contrast adjustment on my DVD player. For the shows themselves, there are outstanding with wonderful plots. I don't have cable so it has been sometime since I first saw these shows. I only regret that I did not purchase more of the videos when they were on sale. August 11, 2008
