Murder, She Wrote: 4 Movie Collection

Murder She Wrote: Four TV Movies -- A Collection of Memories, Mysteries and Murder
Since its air date on September 30, 1984 to its finale on May 19, 1996, Murder She Wrote, one of the most popular CBS TV shows during the Eighties and Nineties, entertained audiences for a remarkable twelve years.

And during those twelve years, the star of the show, Angela Lansbury, created a down-to-earth, open-minded character in Jessica Beatrice Fletcher, who would make Lansbury an immediate household name--and bring to life an unforgettable character in TV history.

And after its twelfth run in 1996, Lansbury, who fought tooth-and-nail for CBS to put Murder She Wrote back to its original 8 p.m. Sunday night time slot, after shifting it to Thursday nights, returned, in a commitment with the network, to make four made-for-TV Murder She Wrote movies. So with the help of Lansbury's production company, Corymore Productions, she was given the green light by CBS who wanted to "soften the blow" for its alterations during the show's lowest-rated twelfth season...

Wonderful Movies
These 4 films that followed the beloved Murder She Wrote series staring the wonderful Angela Lansbury are just great and fun to watch. They are 1 1/2 hours long so there is more time than the TV show to develop the mystery and the scenery in each film is beautiful (the cinematography for these 4 films feels more like a big budget movie than a TV show). Angela Lansbury is her charming self and really carries these films. I have watched them over and over again. They are great for a Saturday night at home or on a rainy Sunday when you're just sitting around the house. They are family friendly and very enjoyable.

Priceless
I just finished watching the four Murder She Wrote movies and was thrilled! I wish network television could get back to the same quiet, yet fascinating types of stories brought to us by Jessica Fletcher and her team. The series was super, the movies even more so. I was familiar with South by Southwest and can remember bits and pieces of two of the others. Seeing them in their entirety was worth the price. I highly recommend this dvd along with all the Murder she wrote DVD's and books. So pull up a comfy chair, settle in with a bowl of buttery popcorn and enjoy this perfect family entertainment!
