Menace, Anyone? (Season 2, Episode 20)

Tonight on Murder, She Wrote! The year is 1986. Google does not exist yet. The library is closed and the writer's room wants to write about a car being blown up. Their best guess is that that would be done with a cartoon style stick of Wile E. Coyote like dynamite. There's no way to confirm or deny if this is accurate. It makes it in the script, and subsequently, onto network television. We ask the important questions. Is she dressed as DNA? Is that Looney Tunes dynamite? Is anything spookier th...

Keep the Home Fries Burning (Season 2, Episode 14)

Tonight on Murder, She Wrote! Margo has had it with these stupid small towns. She got into the tainted food business for glitz and glamour and intrigue.

Murder Digs Deep (Season 2, Episode 11)

Tonight on Murder, She Wrote! Jessica Fletcher doesn't want Doc Hazlitt to know she's excited to go digging with him. So, she pretends she's doing research for a book, just like she pretends she wants to play chess every week, and she pretends that Seth is the only medical examiner in Maine.

Jessica Behind Bars (Season 2, Episode 9)

Tonight on Murder, She Wrote. Tick tock. The West Barrington Institute for Women is a powder keg. Sure, those inmates look like Calvin Klein models in their denim on denim uniform.

So when the prisoners get a chance to blow the lid off the prison, would anyone blame them if they took it? Tick tock, Mrs. Fletcher, the dynamite's already been lit. We a...

Dead Heat (Season 2, Episode 8)

Tonight on Murder, She Wrote! Don’t underestimate the power of a short king. These pint sized lotharios can do more than just ride horses. They can drive a woman to murder! Thankfully, 5’8” Jessica Fletcher knows this and does not look down on them. She would never overlook such a man, especially when his Panamanian heat could be a clue in the murder of the racehorse owner. No detail is too small. No inconsistency too tiny. She will get into the miniscule facts to prove that her niece did not co...

Tonight on Murder, She Wrote! Carl is a rock n roller. He likes drugs and tunes and having a bushy beard. But when he meets Cheryl, he is willing to swap the drugs for daffodils, change the tunes to petunias, and shave that beard right off if that means access to millions of dollars. He’d even go so far as to dress up in a “burn victim goes to work” outfit. That money is making him crazy. Or is he making Cheryl’s mother crazy? We ask the important questions. Who puts headshots in their bedroom? ...
