Murder She Wrote is a TV series starring Angela Lansbury as the show's protagonist, Jessica Fletcher. Murder She Wrote ran on the CBS Television Network from the years 1984 to 1996, and ran for a total of 12 seasons and 264 episodes. After its run of 12 seasons, Murder She Wrote could safely count itself one of the members of the television Hall of Fame, as it was extremely well-known even among non-television watchers.
In each episode of Murder She Wrote, Jessica Fletcher (who was a retired English teacher) would encounter varies murder cases, and would inevitably take it upon herself to solve these crimes for the police. Murder She Wrote's main appeal lies in the building up of each murder case, and Fletcher's ignoring the police's warnings to stay out of their investigations, ultimately solving each case at the conclusion of each episode of Murder She Wrote.
The longevity of the Murder She Wrote television series was extended by the show's producers giving Jessica Fletcher additional skills such as criminology and writing, giving the possibility of more plot variations in each episode of Murder She Wrote. These additional possibilities gave Murder She Wrote a much longer screen life than most of its competing television series - 12 seasons was almost unprecedented as a run of crime whodunit shows.
Angela Lansbury earned many plaudits during her performance as Jessica Fletcher on Murder She Wrote. She was nominated for twelve Emmy Awards and ten Golden Globes for her performances on Murder She Wrote, making her one of the most decorated television personalities of her time. She was also one of the most-seen faces on worldwide televison, as Murder She Wrote was also one of the most widely-syndicated television shows - even today./p>
As with all good things however, they come to an end. Near the end of its run, Murder She Wrote was faced up against (among other successful television shows) Friends, The Single Guy, and Seinfeld in the same timeslot. It was almost inevitable that Murder She Wrote would suffer poor ratings, and die a slow and painful death. In addition, CBS Networks also stated that Murder She Wrote was garnering too much of its viewership from the older demographics, which were not exactly its target audience - further strengthening their resolve to end Murder She Wrote's run.
