Murder, She Wrote - Season 1

I love to buy first seasons of tv series and have loads such as Little House on the Prairie, Star Trek, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Twilight Zone and many others. My partner in crime aka the better half loves Murder She Wrote and all the female cop/crime tv from years gone by. She's obviously picked some tips up as she always seems to catch me out! So I've bought her this first season for Christmas so she can sit in her new slippers and Christmas socks infront of the fire watching Jessica solve crime after crime. I won't mention the Snuggy as it didn't go down well at all last year :( Murder She Wrote was a very successful and well loved series that ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996 and also incorporated 4 movies. In this six disc set you get all 22 episodes including the pilot. Here's a quick run down of the season one episodes which may jog your memory - Disc one -The Murder Of Sherlock Holmes (The Pilot Episode) 1 Deadly Lady Disc 2 2 Birds Of A Feather 3 Hooray For Homicide 4 It's A Dogs Life 5 Lovers And Other Killers Disc 3 6 Hit, Run And Homicide 7 We're Off To Kill The Wizard 8 Death Takes A Curtain Call 9 Death Casts A Spell Disc 4 10 Capitol Offense 11 Broadway Malady 12 Murder To A Jazz Beat 13 My Johnny Lies Over The Ocean Disc 5 14 Paint Me A Murder 15 Tough Guys Don't Die 16 Sudden Death 17 Footnote To Murder Disc 6 18 Murder Takes The Bus 19 Armed Response 20 Murder At The Oasis 21 Funeral At Fifty-Mile Guest stars throughout season one included Leslie Nielsen, Martin Landau, Andy Garcia, Joaquin Phoenix, Peter Graves, Vicki Lawrence, Jerry Orbach and Milton Berie. The series is in full screen with English or Dutch subtitles. There is no audio description on these discs. A fantastic box set of over 1,000 minutes of Murder She Wrote.

First of, I'll just say FINALLY! I've been waiting for this series to come out on DVD since the format started. Well, now I've got it, and was it worth the wait? It sure was. The picture quality is very good from what I've seen so far. The show was shot on film, so it generally looks good anyway, not suffering the way so many shows did in the 1980s when they switched to tape. (Even a big show like Dallas switched and it looked terrible). Anyway, the transfer seems nice and the episodes I've watched so far are all clean. The sound quality is excellent too, and the menus are nicely animated. A fantastic show delivered to TV with respect. One thing though, I do still love watching the afternoon repeats on BBC1. Just feels more natural on terrestrial TV. :-)

This boxset is worth every penny. Angela Lansbury gives an Oscar Winning Performance as Mystery Novelist/Amatuer Sleuth JB Fletcher. each episode is brilliant, complex and leaves you guessing Whodunit till the very end. loved every minute of it. My Favourite Episodes of Season 1 are the Pilot "The Murder of Sherlock Holmes", "Birds of a Feather", "Its a Dogs Life", "We're off to kill the Wizard", "Death casts a Spell", "Capitol Offence", "Broadway Malady", "My Jhonny lies over the Ocean", "Paint me a Murder", "Tough Guys dont die", "Murder takes the Bus", "Armed Response", "Murder at the Oasis", "Funeral at Fifty Mile" Murderer's Better beware when JB Fletcher's on the Case

I received this for Christmas and didn't even manage disc 1 and disc 2 because they were getting stuck and skipping such a lot. Further on in the season things got better, but I can't have the season without the first two discs, so none of it was any good. Now apart from that, my feelings of entertainment have improved such a lot since the 1980s that I only like a couple to a few of the episodes of this. It's all about the stories, they weren't exciting enough. I could hardly wait for it all to finish so that I could get back to my old Prison Break, which I found excellent. Murder, She Wrote would take a lot of time to learn to enjoy this programme. I have had a lot of trouble getting back into Columbo, but I prefer that to Murder She Wrote. The programme of Murder She Wrote needs to be a lot more exciting and mysterious.

Wherever Jessica Fletcher goes murder follows, so I wonder if she is a cursed woman. She also knows many folk or has many many relatives, christmas card hell!!. Seriously though this is a program of my childhood & its still a great way to waste a couple of hours.

Angela lansbury is truly insprirational as Jessica fletcher, the retired english teacher turned novelist with a penchant for solving murders. I love a good whodunnit and murder she wrote delivers with warmth and feeling to boot. Tom Bosley(happy days) is brilliant as Cabot Coves sherrif Amos tupper. William Windom is also fantstic as dr. Seth Hazlitt.Get to know Cabot coves Favourite Daughter. The first season starts with Jessica still grieving for Husband, frank fletcher. Did you know, in the show, she and Husband Frank brought up Nephew Grady( a brilliant, loveable Character) he adores his 'Aunt Jess' Brilliant Murder mystery.

bought as a present for an avid who was very pleased-price is excellent for what you are getting-not my viewing fare but she loves it.

The very first Season of TVs' Murder She Wrote with Angela Lansbury as mystery writer, and amateur sleuth, Jessica Fletcher. There are six DVDs in the case with 1062 minutes of very enjoyable viewing time. It's all good stuff - thoroughly enjoyable, very relaxing and perfect for a binge watch! :) The discs come in a smart case, neatly clasped in. Quality of picture is very good. Recommended for fans of the TV series and anyone who loves a good, well performed murder mystery with humour and a heart. Well packaged with excellent Amazon delivery.
