Debuting September 30, 1984, Murder, She Wrote, TV's longest-running mystery series, starring the character of Jessica Fletcher, might never have come about had producers Richard Levinson and William Link enjoyed success with their TV series Ellery Queen. That series folded after a single season, but Levinson and Link were still committed to the concept of a bestselling murder mystery novelist who solved real murders when not at the typewriter. By changing the gender of their protagonist from male to female and transforming the character from a good-looking, absent-minded young pedant to a middle-aged down-to-earth widow, the producers were able to parlay their 'mystery writer/amateur detective' premise into a 12-year hit for CBS. The title comes from Murder, She Said, an adaptation of a Miss Marple novel by Agatha Christie. While not appearing in the aforementioned film, Angela Lansbury herself did play Miss Marple in a film, and the Jessica Fletcher character is thought to be based on a combination of Miss Marple, Agatha Christie herself, and another Christie character, Ariadne Oliver.Read full review
Lots of twists and turns as ever with Angela Langsbury playing Jessica B Fletcher. I love the story lines, and the fact that even though you know JB Fletcher is going to solve the case your eyes are glued to the screen with her amazing ability to always find a way of proving the killers guilt.
