    Murder, She Wrote: Complete Series 10/1/13

    Jessica should have deduced it. All the clues were there. ;)

    Murder, She Wrote: Complete Series 10/1/13

    I have a friend who loves the Cabot Cove episodes to the point where if he drops by my place to watch my DVD, we have to skip ahead to the next CC episode. Me? I like 'em all. I hope I don't notice Angela looking at cue cards. I know when Lucille Ball started relying on them as she became a...

    I'm going to miss this thread when you're done! Matt always responds to your posts right around the time I'm sitting down to breakfast. I only wish you were back in season four where I am, but unfortunately my MSW watching is a bit sporadic as hour-long shows require more TV time than I often...

    A *good* casting director will certainly take note of this. I recall Robert Wise, in a live interview, saying that while casting his films, he would pin 8x10s of his potential cast on the wall to see how they looked together.

    No, none except the WSS cast album, if you count that. She wasn't a recording star, she was a general purpose star, the likes of which you really don't see anymore. I see on Imdb she had a stint on General Hospital for awhile. I didn't know that. She was just one of those stars that you saw...

    Carol Lawrence wasn't an opera star, but a popular Broadway and television personality, most famous as the lead in WEST SIDE STORY. Back before the culture got so fractured by cable and the internet, everyone would have known who she was. She made regular appearances on the various dramatic...

    Exactly! And I happened to be watching this episode with the author of several books on "Bewitched" so you know we laughed about that name.

    Yes! Great scene! No girl named Serena can ever be trusted. At least on television.

    I don't get time to watch them regularly (it may take more than a year to get through a season) but on selected Sundays evenings that happen to be free, I will reach for the box sets and find the next unwatched episode. Last night, for the first time in weeks, I watched an episode. It was the...

    Murder, She Wrote: Complete Series 10/1/13

    Sorry for intruding on this private thread (which I read and enjoy every morning btw), but in 1971, it seemed like every girl in my ninth grade class could think (or talk) of nothing but David Cassidy, David Cassidy, David Cassidy. Shaun's heyday came later but I don't think it came close to...

    Mickey's career length is going to be tough to beat because he got started so young. Angela was 18 when she made her first film. Mickey had been making films for about a decade by that point!

    I know. It's like trying to imagine Shirley Jones being married to Marty Ingels! ;)

    Murder, She Wrote: Complete Series 10/1/13

    That was classic counter-programming in the pre-DVR world of television. CBS assumed that the audiences for "Friends" and "Murder She Wrote" were different enough so that CBS could score respectable numbers against "Friends", rather than just give up and cede the timeslot. Sometimes it works...

    Patty and Cathy Lane. They look alike, they talk alike, at times they even walk alike. You could lose your mind!
