Because this totally looks like a Christmas in Maine.
You’re right—that’s not the New England Christmas I know! And those don’t look like Maine evergreens…This is still my favorite Murder She Wrote episode, though. I’m a sucker for anything Christmas-themed. Plus, it’s the only episode, I believe, where NO ONE actually dies! And it’s set in Cabot Cove. I always feel a little disappointed when an episode is set in New York or, worse, Ireland (too many bad Irish accents for me to handle).
YES! ON ALL COUNTS! I’m a sucker for anything Christmas, too! (It’s the only MSW Christmas episode, isn’t it?) And I much prefer the Cabot Cove ones!
I think it is! Although there may be multiple Christmas-themed Murder She Wrote mystery novels. I’ve been given _A Little Yuletide Murder_ at least three times. I have a fantasy of a Newhart-Murder She Wrote Christmas-themed crossover. Which plays on ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas. (The Newhart house, like the Jessica Fletcher house, is also a B&B—that should be next on my list).
I’m not the biggest Newhart fan, though I still think of their series finale as being one of the best, but that’d be a neat crossover. I’ve read a few of the MSW books, but I don’t own any of them. I have a love-hate relationship with Donald Bain!

She was clearly responsible for all the murders in Cabot Cove.
I don’t think she was responsible for them but, sheesh, did bad bad murderous luck follow her.
fucking love late night tv…

I love Murder She Wrote so much, in fact, that I made a pilgrimage to Mendocino (where the Cabot Cove setting was actually filmed) a few years ago. One detail production got wrong: Town signs in New England list date of establishment, not population. Cabot Cove would also be more likely to have a First Selectman than a mayor.
Oooh yeah. One of my goals is to head to Mendocino. And you’re right, but there are so many inaccuracies. The weather (see the Christmas in Maine post below). The way various races and cultures are misrepresented. Character details—is Amos Tupper from Maine or Kentucky? His accent sure isn’t Kentucky, I can tell you that! Even the dialogue WITHIN individual episodes can be completely messed. One character will say something and another character will quote a third character as having said it (see Sticks and Stones for instance “you weren’t much of a lawman.”)
I love this show sooooooooooooooooooo very much, but certainly not for its accuracy! haha
Awkward pause screen: Murder, She Wrote, S04E06, If It’s Thursday, It Must Be Beverly.
Awkward pause screen - Who Threw The Barbitals In Mrs. Fletcher’s Chowder - S04E11
Much Ado About Noshing. Possibly the best cafe name ever.
Murder, She Wrote, S04E08, Trouble In Eden.
That sure looks like it hurts.
