Talk:Murder, She Wrote

message: Surely, one facet of the guest cast for this silly old nonsense, that should have been mentioned in the article, is that in each episode, there would be at least one person (Kathryn Grayson, Van Johnson, Roddy McDowall etc.) whom most viewers would have assumed to be dead, or retired. "Veterans", to put it politely. Also, the episodes set in England and Ireland wre atrocious, full of cliches. The British ones were all cardboard sets and Dick Van Dyke accents, while the Irish ones (and those involving Len Cariou as a spy) proved, yet again, that the American idea of an Irish accent is to talk as they usually do except for ending every other sentence with "sure now".

message: In the Origin section, it says MSW is the longest, while in Episodes, it claims "for several years the longest-running". To muddy things even further, according to List of longest running TV shows by category, that accolade goes to Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which had 4 more episodes, but in fewer years (1955-62) and before MSW. Can somebody clear up this mystery? Jessica? Clarityfiend 16:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

message: What is being used as criteria for regular/recurring cast? All but one of the actors listed under 'regular cast' was actually recurring -- only Angela Lansbury was on contract the entire twelve years. William Windom, Ron Masak, etc ... they were guest stars (recurring) only. Mostly curious. D'Amico 07:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it would be rather odd-looking to have only one person in the regular cast section. Also, when I watched the show, I wasn't surprised to see the other "regulars". They were clearly a level above characters like Grady. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Regular v. recurring cast?

message: Like I wrote some time ago in the German Wikipedia, the length of the episodes is not fitting. On TV the duration of an episode is only about 45 minutes. Furthermore, the duration of the DV version of every season at amazon's is also about 45*episodes. Someone with more background knowledge than me corrected this mistake in the German Wiki. I don't know, if I haven't made any logical mistakes, so I don't want to edit the articel (maybe there where cuts etc). But it would be fine, if someone with more background infos could do. (Why the hell this mistake, if it is one, is also in the ImDB?!) --82.218.61.23 (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The 60 min duration includes commercial breaks. Most US TV shows ran for 42 to 44(excluding commercial breaks) in the period Murder, She Wrote was broadcasted.ant_ie (talk) 21:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Just watched one of the later episodes and Jessica Fletcher did not appear to be in it (although I was not paying total attention). Was she written out of the last series or were some based on stories she wrote rather than crimes she solved? Stutley (talk) 15:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Origin 

message: Hello please note the following: wherever she goes, within a few hours there is a murder. AND in most cases, there had been strong evidence of her being the murderer, until she proved otherwise. It seems quite obvious to me that she is the murderer, a serial killer (more than 500 murders!), and that she had some manipulating (hypnotic?) technique in order to push someone else to plead guilty at each time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.112.159.201 (talk) 12:24, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rumor of a final episode. Comeback for Lansbury 

message: There were other actresses who were considered for the role of Jessica Fletcher. Angela Lansbury was not the first. I think Doris Roberts was one of the actresses because she did not want to commit to a TV series. Later on, she starred in Everybody loves raymond.

thread_title:  Contradictory episode counts 

message: I come to wikipedia to be spoiled so i dont watch inapropriate stuff, not get something that sounds like the movies/tv show promotional ads . If i dont know what its about i wont let my family watch it. At some point “murder she wrotes” wili article gave away the murderer, then a cabal of antispoiling people decided to take that information away because in their opinion spoilers are blasphemy. Id like to talk about this there are ways of warning people a spoiler is coming without depriving people of the info they are seeking. 98.236.39.75 (talk) 00:30, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
