The WORST Episode of Murder, She Wrote (Allegedly)

Quietly disassociating into another dimension just describes me when I'm not working on art

You say the coach has a weak motive for both murders, which may be true, but I just watched a true crime story where a mother killed two husbands, because she was tired of them, and life insurance, and when she felt her back against the wall, she attempted to kill one of her girls, HER GIRLS, and write her a suicide note, framing her own daughter for the murders. Terrible motives all around, and all true. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@pushinguproses What's the background music starting at 2:45 until 4:25, if you don't mind?

Because the part from 3:15 to 3:40 has become an earworm to me that's driving me crazy, and I need to find out the title. 😅

I mean, he's Lionel Luthor, so I'd be sus of him, too.

“Fletch light”

Nope. I think The Petrified Florist is the worst. Every time I watch this episode, which is not often because of its plot, I go; seriously?

ermaghert, it's john glover! i love him. he's already taken, though. too bad. oh well.

Who else spotted the young Goggins?

John Glover is the CEO from Gremlins 2 and the hyper guy from Scrooged! How did you not mention that???? 😳😳😳
😆😆😆

I finally found the episode I'd love to see your reaction on. It's called "if the frame fits" and i'd just LOVE to see what you think about a character named Binky.

Roses, are you excited about the Murder, She Wrote movie starring Jamie Lee Curtis which is in pre-production?

At around six minutes in, when you zoom in on that newspaper article… well…. its an interesting read. And it has nothing to do with either ballparks or parking lots. It's about… an 11 year old girl killing a baby? HUH?

Fake newspapers in shows often use text from real ones so I wonder what story that was?

You would be amazed by the luxuries a person can sneak into prison through their anus.

It protects you from dropping the soap when you have a bottle of fine wine and choice cigars hidden away. Who would want to ruin that?

I haven’t seen this one, but I’m surprised it’s considered the worst when MSW had so many dull-as-dishwater episodes. The one with Pat Hingle trying to solve the old murder has a great premise and is almost unwatchable, it’s so poorly paced, unsurprisingly written, visually boring. It’s an odd show, this one, because it will have one terrible episode and one surprisingly good episode (the Pat Hingle one is followed by “One White Rose for Death,” which may not have the cleverest mystery but is a good script).

I don't know much about American football, but all football coaches in movies and tv pretty much think they are or are presented as parental figures to their students, so I assumed that's why the guy keeps calling them 'My boys.' But these characters often use this as an excuse to physically or sexually abuse them, so it just makes him sound more suspicious .

That's no coach, that's the Baron Harkonnen!

How about how it appears Jessica is about to ride her bike in a dress and high heels?😅

I wonder if you'd ever be interested in covering season 2, episode 14 "keep home fries burning"? I watched it for the first time recently and I was SO proud of myself for being able to clock the who and why before the halfway mark. I'm pretty sure watching your reviews has given me the ability to really get into the mind if a MSW episode lol, cause the ep offered a lot of good options for who it could have been. I also really love Jessica and Seth's friendship in this one, they just keep clocking Sheriff Amos lol

The man who played Durbin was Matthew Perry's father.

I recognized one of the songs from the dagger of Amon ra ❤ 6:19

I don’t know how I didn’t think of this one sooner, but the worst episode that actually has Jessica Fletcher in it has to be Southern Double Cross from season 12. It’s boring, silly, has terrible Australian accents, a grown man named “Roo,” and the solution to the murder is weirdly out of character for MSW. Please do this episode!

I'd like to recommend some of my fave episodes you haven't already covered.

Class Act: even though it's a non-Jessica episode, the characters are so good. It's such a fun episode! And the movie A Story to Die For. Has one of my fave moments when someone calls out Jess for being surrounded by murder but gets immediately embarrassed after.
