I've already thought Season Seven will never be released. Now, having sent my pre-order, I'm relieved. This too is a great season, I like the improvement in the character of Sherif Metzger a lot. I also like the Dennis Stanton parts, there is a fine humor and a kind of elegance there, but to be honest, it could have been a different series. Because evry sequel without Jessica/dear Ms Lansbury is a waste, isn't it.

There is actually little on TV these days that I consider worth spending time to watch; just too much gore per square inch. But I never get tired of watching the older mysteries-- Poirot, Perry Mason, and especially Murder, She Wrote. These mysteries have just the right amount of suspense, action, and even humor-- nice comic relief. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a good story without having nightmares!

I have loved Murder She Wrote since watching the first season as a thirteen year-old back in 1984. I have faithfully followed all the seasons, and Season Seven [1990-1991] is as entertaining as ever.

As with Season Six, J.B. Fletcher does not appear as a central character in all of the episodes. In all, there are about 5 episodes without Ms Fletcher where Dennis Stanton [former jewel thief turned insurance investigator] solves the murder mystery.

Even without Angela Lansbury's Ms Fletcher solving the mysteries, the stories are so well-written and acted that it is still fun to watch them.

Of course, the regulars are a hoot to watch as usual! Angela Lansbury is flawless in her role as super sleuth J.B. Fletcher, and there are of course William Windom as Dr Seth Hazlitt, Richard Paul as mayor Sam Booth, Jerry Orbach as PI Harry McGraw, Ron Masak playing Sheriff Mort Metzger etc.

Some of my favorite episodes in this season are "The Family Jewels" [a murder during a political fundraiser for Jessica's old friend reveals a rich woman's past], "A Body to Die For" [a male fitness instructor who seems to have dazzled the females of Cabot Cove is accused of murder], "The Family Doctor" [Seth and Jessica get involved with a mob family]& "The Prodigal Father" [set in Cabot Cove, Jessica helps her neighbor solve the mystery of her long-lost father's return to Cabot Cove, and subsequent murder].

All in all, another entertaining season of MSW. I hope the later seasons [9-12] will be made available on DVD soon!

I absolutely can't wait for this season of Murder She Wrote to come out! This is a great season and Angela Lansbury is AMAZING as always. The few episodes without Angela still display the shows signature storytelling, even if they're missing her spark.
I was beginning to think they weren't going to release any more seasons. I hope there isn't a big pause between the release of this season and the release of season 8.

Season 7 another great season of Murder She Wrote. Sure there are non-Jessica episodes, but I like the ones with Dennis Stanton, and Harry McGraw too. This season contains one of my favorite episodes A Body to Die for, It's the one where Cabot Cove's new gym owner prompts women in town to take up physical fitness again,along with Where Have You Gone Billy Boy? the one with the creepy ventriloquist.

Great price, super-fast shipping. I actually received it 4 days earlier than expected. There was one problem. My box for Disc 5 was broken at the top where it closed,(broken all along the top) no damage to the cd though, plays just fine.(4 episodes on disc 5) But other than that very satisfied.

Would recommend for all those Jessica Fletcher fans

I am a very big Murder She Wrote fan and already had the first six seasons. I have been very pleased with this set. It is very nicely done in two seperate cases. Lots of info is included for this season. I have watched this complete season and was pleased with the quality of picture and sound. I do wish that the cost would come down and I would purchase additional seasons of this series.

I like very much but I do not enjoy when she is not in solve the case

Funny how the show doesn't wear out on you when you can watch it at your leisure. Jessica's better now than she was 20 years ago.

The DVD set is a great gift for any Murder She Wrote fan. The set contains many heart warming episodes from Cabot Cove Maine. Jessica, Seth, Sherriff Mort Metzger and Co. work together to solve the mysterious murders that seem to abound in this quaint oceanside town.
