5.0 out of 5 stars Murder, Mayhem and Monsterous Obstacles, November 6, 2009

This review is from: Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Eleventh Season (DVD)

During the 1994-1995 season, people in the industry (writers, producers), although loyal to the weekly whodunit, found that the show was becoming formulaic and hard to keep sophisticated week after week. As such, it was not easy for the star of the show to keep her depiction of Jessica Fletcher unique either.

In its eleventh season, Murder She Wrote had other obstacles and challenges to overcome, besides trying to keep a sense of originality and a dedicated weekly audience. In a constant-changing industry such as television, the competition for the weekly mystery series was, at times, mammoth to bear. During the late Nineties, the popular whodunit was up against shows like: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures," "NBC's SeaQuest DSV," and "The Simpsons." However, according to Nielson's Media, Murder She Wrote ended in the #9 position, tying with the ever popular, "Roseanne."

The show triumphant in the charts for the year's most popular show, but only after falling below the top ten most watched TV shows of the season. The rumor mill buzzed about whether Ms. Lansbury would leave her role as Jessica Fletcher. However, by January 1995, the star had devoted herself to the subsequent 1995-1996 season, which would be, regrettably (for all us devoted watchers out there), the swan song of the weekly detective series.

Whatever the reason(s) for continuing with the show during its eleventh year, whether it was money, work ethics, or both, Lansbury shined in her role as amateur sleuth, Jessica Fletcher. All of the episodes included in this DVD box set will irrefutably entertain every committed fan of this rare gem of TV history. Highlights of the season include, "A Nest of Vipers," "Amsterdam Kill," "Death in Hawaii," "Murder of the Month Club," "Death N' Denial," "School for Murder," and "Another Killing in Cork."

Typical Jessica Fletcher. The clues are a little less noticable in this series. I wonder if it was due to time restrants. You will probably still figure most of them out. This will be a welcome addition to any Murder Mystery collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who wouldn't like this show?, February 24, 2010

This review is from: Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Eleventh Season (DVD)

I have always admired Angela Lansbury as an actress and though we all know it is not possible for a series to never end I wish this one hadn't but we have eleven years of pure entertainment and I for one appreciate that she gave us those eleven years. I am very picky about what movies I buy and this is the only television series I have collected. My favorite episode is where they approached JB Fletcher about writing a script for a mystery show featuring a retired lady who solves crimes and she tells them it just wouldn't work and no one would watch it. I had a good laugh over that episode because it did work and we reaped the benefits. Were any of you aware that Amazon also carries the Murder, She Wrote books by JB Fletcher and Donald Bain? They read as if you are watching an episode on TV. Thanks Amazon for carrying both and I so appreciate the prices you offer for your products. Can't wait until the eleventh year in the series comes out. I think a Murder, She Wrote Marathon right here in my home with a few other fans will be in order so we can raise our glasses to a lady that has more class and sophistication in her little finger than most whether it be Angela Lansbury or JB Fletcher.
