Murder, She Wrote = Insanity

(This is not new fodder for comics. But with A&E's bludgeoning of audiences with Murder, She Wrote at 10am, 11am, 4pm and 5pm, I have become fascinated and obsessed.)

Friday, April 11, 2003: Bill Maher, as Rick Rivers, has a ton of hair, especially at the back and he's arguing with Roddy McDowall, as "Gordon Fairchild", right now on Murder She Wrote. Starring Angela Lansbury, William Windom, Ron Masak, Brad Dourif, Dee Wallace-Stone. Episode: Fire Burn, Caldron Bubble (#5.13); February 19, 1989; 60 min. Cabot Cove is spooked by the apparent reappearance of a long-dead witch still practicing black magic. I'm studying Murder She Wrote right now. It's so bad.

First of all, how many nieces and nephews does Jessica Fletcher have? Because it seems like there must be over a hundred.

No one ever seems to stand back and realize that Jessica has been in the building where and when a murder was committed about four or five hundred times.

Yet no one ever seems to think that's strange. You'd think that after a while people see her coming, they just start running.

This broad is like Death. Death's probably scared of her.

Masak's Metzger replaced Tom Bosley's Sheriff, Amos Tupper, when Bosley left to solve his own murder mysteries as a priest(!) on Father Dowling Mysteries (1989-1991).
