Fun to watch but...
The problem with the 1980s TV series is that I remember them quite a lot in a fantastic way. The more I watch them the more I dislike them or I grow cold towards them. Maybe at that time they were fascinating films. But some of them also have a way of telling their stories in a prejudiced way. For example I can not say the same thing for "The White Shadow" series. The plot is weaved around the Carver High school with a socially responsible attitude.
As for "Murder She Wrote" I can not help saying that I am disappointed. The plots for murder are reasonable but when you think about the consequences they boost the American dream, the money making schemes, the luxurious way of living and also anti-communism. Yes, anti-communism. In the first disc of the Season 2 series two internationally famous Soviet ballet dancers defect to USA. Jessica Fletcher is as always among the events, even courting with a KGB major! The "commies" are shown as the American public wants all the world to see them. Cold, uncourteous, evil and murderous.
I did not expect much from the series but so far I hardly got the pleasure I got from the series then. Maybe I grew old and do not like so easily.

JESSICA FLETCHER WRITER AND SUPER SLEUTH.
'Murder she wrote' starring film legend Angela Landsbury in the title role as writer and Super Sleuth Jessica Fletcher. She lives in gentle Cabot Cove where she writes her crime novels and one more than. On occasion mostly on her book launches, solves real murders and runs rings around the local Law. She is helped by Tom Bosley (Happy days , Father Murphy) who is the local sheriff Amis tupper and close friend to Jessica. She sits back and takes in all the clues to a murder and then manages to talk her way around dangerous situations and solve the crime. Leaving the real danger to the Police and sometimes her friends who have been affected by events. This is a good and well paced series now quite dated as it was made in the 1980's. As a whole it lasted for a massive 11 years when the norm seems to be just seven seasons for most U.S series. This set is very good value indeed and is an ideal show to while away a wet Sunday afternoon watching.
