Dinner, She Ate
Smashing Pumpkins Fact #11
The font used on the cover of ‘Siamese Dream’ was the title font of the detective series ‘Murder, She Wrote’.
Breaking for the night
BLANCHE DEVEREAUX IS ON THIS EPISODE OF MURDER SHE WROTE AND SHE IS PLAYING A LIBRARIAN WHO IS MARRIED TO FRANK BURNS.
As referenced below. Murder Takes The Bus.
I’m not really sure why, but I think Murder Takes The Bus is my favorite episode of Murder, She Wrote.
This is, of course, subject to change.
Tough Guys Don’t Die
Jerry Orbach guested on this episode of Murder She Wrote, and he and Angela Lansbury are just fabulous working together.
He is one of my favorite parts of MSW.
What Would Jessica Do: thursdays-gardenias: In the MSW book i’m reading the author has JB say...
In the MSW book i’m reading the author has JB say “I don’t consider myself a teacher, although i have found myself in front of a class on a few occasions.” Um.
He also has Mort calling her Jessica/Jess.
God did he not watch the show?!
Completely true. This is why I’m not really into the Donald Bain books. He gets her character (and many of the other characters) so very wrong. He makes her so much less independent in the books; it’s offensive.
Full disclosure: I read them anyway.
I like them. Does he get some things wrong? Yeah.
But I believe any Jessica, MSW and Cabot Cove is better than none. When I come across something that doesn’t jibe with the MSW I know, I just chalk it up to an ‘oops’ and move on.
:)
That’s all well and good and I read the books, however…Jessica Fletcher is a character near and dear to my heart. I hate seeing her made into something she isn’t. It’s really rather a let down.

This scene gets me every time.

I am obsessed with Murder, She Wrote, but it isn’t the show so much as the main character, Jessica Fletcher, that keeps me hooked. Okay, I like mysteries, but these mysteries are so easy to solve that one can hardly think them mysterious–convoluted, sometimes, mysterious, no. Jessica Fletcher is why I love Murder, She Wrote. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, she’s my James Bond. Where some folks watch James Bond to learn how to be a man–or at least to learn how to be the kind of man they wish to be, I watch Jessica Fletcher because she’s the kind of lady I’d like to be–dress-sense aside. She’s brilliant. She’s a former teacher. She’s strong and brave–seriously, that women doesn’t let ANYONE push her around in any way. She brooks absolutely no bullying. Whether she’s throwing a tea party or managing a boxer, she always knows what’s up. Moreover, she may get angry–boiling-ly so–but she never ever loses her cool. She isn’t out to make anyone look bad or put anyone down, but she takes no crap and she never lies, even to spare feelings, she just tells the truth with an amazing amount of tact, dignity, and grace. That is precisely the kind of woman I’d like to be. And, really, I don’t so much mind her dress sense–my favorite style of dress is probably a combination of Talbots and Lucille Ball from the early days of I Love Lucy anyway.
