treeofdreams January 3, 2022 Share January 3, 2022 I am in the middle of watching the whole series through on DVD, and one thing I keep noticing is all the ORANGE! Someone on the show apparently loved the color, and so many of the women's outfits were orange. But what really gets me is the orange lipstick the women all wear. It is hideous! How could they ever have thought that was a good idea! I suppose this was not through all the seasons, but where I am right now I see nothing but orange. 1 Link to comment

I’m still in season 1 of my sporadic series watch via free Peacock, and haven’t yet noticed a lot of orange, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. About 5 years ago my fashion-conscious (if somewhat goth) 30-something daughter was exclusively wearing intense orange lipstick. And I recall in the 1960s my aunt who always made bold fashion choices often wore deep orange lipstick. And Mom sometimes wore orange lipstick—maybe in the 70s? But the show was shot in the 80s. IDK. 🤷♀️ Edited January 4, 2022 by shapeshifter Link to comment

Maverick January 4, 2022 Share January 4, 2022 Yep. Tangerine Twist, not too orange not too pink. It's always fun when Jessica adopts a character during a case. Her Lila Lee Lady wasn't quite up there with the bored socialite in Widow Weep For Me but still entertaining. 3 Link to comment
tvfanatic13 January 6, 2022 Share January 6, 2022 Thank you to the posters who clued me in that this was on Peacock. I DVR’d this everyday on Cozi TV but they seem to show the same 20 or so episodes all the time. Does anyone know if there is a reason for that? 1 Link to comment
MerBearHou May 17, 2022 Share May 17, 2022 The two-parter Mirror, Mirror episodes were on tonight. They are two of my favorites of the series. Great guest stars. And my all-time favorite MSW scene is when, after his near-death scare, Seth asks Jessica to meet him for fishing the next morning but she says she can’t; then we see Jessica hurriedly riding her bike to the dock to catch up with Seth to meet the boat; he says they haven’t been waiting on her but were delayed taking off due to mechanical difficulties and would she please tend to the bow of the boat; they have a little momentary cranky dialogue; then Caleb (the captain) tells her that he’s sure glad she finally made it because Seth had been getting testy waiting for her. She just knowingly and lovingly smiles and waves to Seth at the back of the boat. He walks up and joins her on the bow and the boat takes off with them, side by side, wind blowing and them smiling. Oh, I love Jessica and Seth. One of my favorite duos of all time on TV. Not a couple, but so so so close. 11 Link to comment

Dr.OO7 October 12, 2022 Share October 12, 2022 I used to love watching for that moment when the camera would focus on something just a little longer than necessary and that would be your clue to who the killer was. One time I figured out who the killer was before the murder even happened. According to the TV Tropes page, if Cabot Cove really existed, it would have a murder rate EIGHTY-SIX times that of Caracas, Venezuela, the murder capital of the world. Did you know that some people have speculated that JESSICA was the one responsible for all the murders, since they always happened wherever she went? 😄 2 3 1 Link to comment

A smart, older woman having a very successful second act that had nothing to do with the "traditional" elements of female "success": a husband, kids, etc. At the same time, she was a very warm and caring person with hundreds of friends and perhaps thousands of hapless relatives. :) Plus, her manners were always impeccable--I wish I were as good at politely putting people in their place as she was! I liked that even though she wasn't a typical GMILF, it's still quite clear that men found her attractive and that she had a steady dating life, rather than being some dried-up old biddy. 7 Link to comment
Dr.OO7 October 13, 2022 Share October 13, 2022 I liked those two episodes in the final season that took a swipe at the executive meddling that ruined the show --inexplicably moving it from Sunday night to Thursday night opposite "Friends", where of course, it promptly got slaughtered in the ratings --"Murder Among Friends" and "Death By Demographics". 2 1 2 1 4 Link to comment

Yeah, she got an Oscar nomination for her very first movie, when she was still a teenager, and I believe another one for her second movie. I've been bingeing tribute videos and old interviews and she said she was happy not to get the Oscar for those first movies, but she did seem quite disappointed not to get the one for The Manchurian Candidate.

The technology is always the funniest part to me, the utter befuddlement at "new" things that are now nearly obsolete, like fax machines or those giant computers. The one thing they seemed ahead of their time on was the virtual reality episode.

GHScorpiosRule October 16, 2022 Share October 16, 2022 (edited) I really loved this show until the last few seasons-because I loved Jessica before they glammed her up and had more episodes in New York, I think? I much prefer the Cabot Cove episodes-yes even the ones with Claude Akins! What he, the actor thought-when the title of the show CLEARLY stated what it would be about before he quit or was told Ethan would be gone-EGO-doesn’t ruin those early episodes for me. 14 hours ago, GHScorpiosRule said: OMGEE! Rewatching Murder, She Wrote and I TOTALLY forgot that Beauty & The Beast was a reunion for Dame Angela, Jerry Orbach, and David Ogden Stiers! As the latter two appeared on her show, albeit in different episodes. My ❤️, it’s …I don’t have the words. Quoting myself from the movies thread as I think it’s more appropriate here! Watched “The Days Dwindle Down”, which decided to prove Sam’s innocence from the original movie The Bargain, and I loved how they got most of the original actors back and show the flashbacks of the original movie. The ending sounds depressing, since Sam went to jail, but I want to see it! I know I mentioned this up thread pages and pages back, but I prefer Amos over Mort, for two reasons: (1) I adore Tom Bosley, and (2) Actor who played Mort played a weasely character that framed Remington Steele, and for a cop from New York, he was the stupidest sheriff EVER. I know Tom left for his series The Father Dowling Mysteries, but I really loved him. And then the episode where Erin Moran guest starred, she and Tom never had any scenes together! Which I thought was a shame, considering they played father and daughter from the time she was 11-12 on Happy Days! For a lot of years I did think Cabot Cove was set in Maine! And I wanted to go up there to see where it was filmed-only to learn a few years ago, the cliffs and gorgeous ocean scenes were filmed in California! And so I am watching again-on COZI and HMMC and HATE!HATE!HATE! how both cut into scenes when actors are still speaking to commercial and when it returns, it’s the next scene! I may just buy the DVDS! Edited October 16, 2022 by GHScorpiosRule 6 Link to comment

Maverick October 17, 2022 Share October 17, 2022 Murder She Wrote was produced by Universal Studios. That's why they did the one episode that involved the Psycho house. And why it's on Peacock, which is backed by the NBC/Universal library. It's the reverse of Star Trek, which aired on NBC but was owned by Desliu, which later folded in Paramount, causing it to make it's streaming debut on CBS All Access which later became Paramount+. 1 Link to comment

GHScorpiosRule October 17, 2022 Share October 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks @Schnickelfritz! Will be getting that. And I had totally forgotten that I did watch the series finale-which had David Ogden Stiers! Too bad no Jerry Orbach--this was another reunion post Beauty & The Beast! While I loved the swiping at the network/brass, it, along with the a lot of the episodes in the later seasons that moved Jessica to New York, was lacking. 3 hours ago, Schnickelfritz said: Season 3 does have the Magnum PI episode that is part of the crossover. Oh that crossover was a hot mess. Of course the marathon of last week only showed the conclusion-but when you watch the Magnum, P.I. episode, the guy that Joan (the awesome Jessica Walters) killed-played by Jared Martin-who had set up Magnum, is alive and well, and we have to go through and watch AGAIN-Magnum prove his innocence. What were the writers smoking when they wrote that episode? I'm now mentally making a list of all the guest stars on this show from my childhood shows! Like Perry Mason! In "Murder in the Afternoon" in season two, Jessica's niece, Nita, an up and coming soap opera actress is framed for murder; Her grandma is played by Lurene Tuttle, who appeared several times on the original Perry Mason-as his client, the aunt of his client, etc.) Then there were three members of The Brady Bunch--Florence Henderson, Eve Plumb, and Barry Williams. I can't remember if Robert Reed ever appeared. He wasn't in any of the episodes I caught last week. And of course a multitude of soap opera actors! Then there were the actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood! ETA: WOOHOO! Price dropped! Entire Series is now $118 and change! Just ordered it.

I'm glad you were able to clear it up. Yeah, some of the next season's episodes would be offered as "bonus" on the previous season's. I guess because the season sets released individually before the box set ever came along. I actually bought the DVD box set around a decade ago--the one in the white box with just her face on the cover. It's very nice and I like that the sets have a consistent design rather than changing partway through. I so agree with @GHScorpiosRule that Amos was the better sheriff. Those early episodes with Jessica, Seth, and Amos in Cabot Cove together were the best, although Jessica and Seth are still great when it's just the two of them, too. Mort did grow on me after a season or two, but it always felt like--even though he was a smarter character than Amos to me--he was a step removed from Jessica and Seth, maybe because he seemed much younger than they were whereas Amos was the same generation as them. Or at least that's how it seemed to me, perhaps the actors' ages aren't as close as I imagined. 4 Link to comment

I especially loved the episode where he ended up eating Calimari and then Snails (Escargot) (YUUUUUCK!!!!!) in "If it's Thursday, It Must Be Beverly"😅😂 I just love that Jessica, Seth, and Amos have the "Down East" accent--whereas most of the citizens don't! Well, Correen does. And none of the deputies did except for the ginger-headed Floyd, before they got rid of him for that dullard, Andy. Ayap!

GHScorpiosRule October 18, 2022 Share October 18, 2022 I really hate Vera Miles’s character, Nancy, in “Thursday’s Child” as much as Jessica’s good “friend” Clint! First Nancy, for lying about Frank cheating and being the father of her son. Clint, for the way he hemmed and hawed-HE probably cheated. I couldn’t remember if he was Steven’s father, but then Nancy finally ‘fessed up and said his father was a pilot in Frank’s squadron named Steven. And also watching “Powder Keg” just hits me in the gut that NOTHING has changed. We’ve barely moved the needle.😞 Link to comment

GHScorpiosRule October 21, 2022 Share October 21, 2022 I will also be cross posting this in the Perry Mason Thread, but on my Face Book feed came the memory that Raymond Burr and Angela Lansbury starred together in Please Murder Me! (1956) and now I'm disappointed that neither of them appeared on the other's show! Angela on Perry Mason (original series OR the movies) and Raymond on this show! Of course I'm going to hunt down this movie! Link to comment
Schnickelfritz October 21, 2022 Share October 21, 2022 Sadly, one of the subjects of the "heated" debate over the best sheriff of Cabot Cove died yesterday. Ron Masak was 86. RIP 5 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule October 21, 2022 Share October 21, 2022 My DVDs arrived today! I’ll have to go down and get them. Stooped delivery person didn’t follow instructions to being to my door. But. I also found a a great price for Please Murder Me! So yay! Raymond Burr’s performance that would let viewers see what Perry Mason would be like. -/ the movie came out a year before the series premiered! 1 1 Link to comment
