Series Details & Credits

CBS | Release Date: September 30, 1984

Summary: Murder seems to follow Jessica Fletcher, a former English teacher and a mystery writer full of charm, zest-for-life, and personality; who happens to become "the investigator" when traveling around the country to promote a series of novels. Murder always occurs when she is present. Even in Cabot Cove!

Murder always occurs when she is present. Even in Cabot Cove!

Although Angela Lansbury was the only regular character throughout the series entire run, she was frequently joined by a number of recurring and special guest stars, including Tom Bosley as Sheriff Amos Tupper in the early seasons and Ron Masak as Sheriff Mort Metzger in the later seasons, William Windom as Dr. Seth Hazlitt, Michael Horton as her nephew Grady Fletcher (one of her many, many relatives), and from time to time Jerry Orbach would appear as private eye Harry McGraw. Orbach's role later led into a short-lived spin-off, The Law & Harry McGraw.

The series aired a total of 263 color episodes from 7 October 1984 through 19 May 1996 and five telemovies (including the pilot movie, which aired in September of 1984).

As of the fall of 2009, 10 seasons have been released on DVD, with the 11th season due to be released in early 2010.… Expand

A good old 80s family crime series which makes you smile and laugh. With love and Charme are the episodes mostly told. Who thinks there's just Angela Lansbury who solves mysteries is wrong. There is also Keith Mitchell who solves as Dennis Stanton murders mostly more entertaining than theA good old 80s family crime series which makes you smile and laugh.

Highly recommend watching a few episodes if you've never seen it before. It's currently streaming on NBC's PeacockTV for free with no commercials. Oddly, though just about every episode has a murder in it, the atmosphere, music, and characters makes it feel calming and almost otherworldly. Even the murderers don't seem threatening and once caught give calm explanations as they are casually arrested. It's funny to think this tiny, idyllic town, Cabot Cove, is apparently murder and crime ridden. Each episode is full of twists and every character who isn't a show regular is made to appear suspicious. And that is perhaps the only real flaw with the show, it can be a bit formulaic and with so many episodes (around 12 seasons with 20 per season at nearly an hour each), it's hard to justify binge watching the whole thing. That time can be used for a lot of other things in our limited lives, even just enjoying other TV shows and films. I myself watch the episodes in the "best of Murder She Wrote" lists I found and some other special ones like holiday episodes and those set outside of Cabot Cove (actually Mendocino, CA btw). As is common with most "mystery" shows, every little thing can be a clue but they are often missing just enough details that you are not able to confidently figure it out before the main character (making sure you watch the whole thing I guess), at best, you can feel like you're solving at as Lansbury does but sometimes how she figured it out is just way beyond what was shown to the viewer prior.… Expand
