Every time I think of Murder, She Wrote I think of Sunday nights during football season growing up in the 80s and hearing John Madden and Pat Summerall do this

That OG McGyver, and Perry Mason would have our mothers and grandmothers ready to kill if we made any noise while those were on.

I wouldn't be surprised if those were the inspiration to create Patty and Selma from the Simpsons

Even though as a kid I always rolled my eyes when it would come on, sometimes I would catch myself getting caught up in an episode.

Great show.

RIP

 

[abominable1]

RIP.
Aways thought they would do a reunion show and reveal that she was the greatest serial killer ever and had framed everyone else over the years

 

[Bboystyle]

RIP

shyt 97...it's wild to think she and other folks around her age saw the birth of TV/color TV, the internet, etc.


I hope I make it to 97

No u dont. Every damn 80+ i come across is miserable and waiting to die. Not all, but most. It's rare to find a very old happy person. Dealing with health issues and lack of physicality is enough to wanna off yourself at that age.


anyways, RIP to a TV legend. My moms used to watch this show every time it came on.

She's the first notable person who I was able to spot in a Disney movie. "That's the lady from Murder She Wrote voicing Mrs. Potts." I also watched the original The Manchurian Candidate film in history class, and I couldn't wait to see her character get her comeuppance via a bullet through the head.

Insane the amount of murders they had, and the police force were terrible too:

The 7 Worst Fictional Towns In America

Each year various news organizations look at factors like public schools, crime rate and diversity to come up with definitively numbered lists of the best and worst places to live in America. Having grown up in a town that's one of the best is obviously bad ne

At first, Cabot Cove doesn't seem all that bad. It's an idyllic coastal community of only 3,000, so you can't complain about the atmosphere. Also, for a town in the typically unwashed state of Maine, the townsfolk are relatively attractive, consistently looking (and for some reason acting) like they just stepped off the set of a soap opera.

However, none of that changes the fact that if you lived in Cabot Cove from 1984-1996, there was a pretty good chance that someone was going to murder your ass. With a body count of up to eight per episode, Cabot Cove experienced an outbreak of no less than 800 murders during the time that Jessica Fletcher lived there. And the crimes tended to be local on local, meaning that over half of the population was involved in a murder in a twelve year span. (Hear that, Camden, NJ?)

Law Enforcement:

In a small town like Cabot Cove, you'd think that the limited suspect pool would have enabled the cops to solve murders pretty quickly. But time after time, the Cabot Cove PD would arrest the wrong person, falling for clearly planted clues like a suspect's hat being left at the scene of the crime, and ignoring obvious culprits like the guy in the corner laughing maniacally while steepling his bloody fingers.​

Sure, Jessica Fletcher would set the cops straight in the end, but not before the cops would tell her to "leave this one up to the professionals." And just imagine what happened when the swinging queen of crime fiction was off on one of her many vacations. (Where people coincidentally were also always getting murdered.) If you live in Cabot Cove, you're either going to commit murder, get murdered, be falsely accused of murder, or you're a shyt-stupid cop. Take your pick.
