The #1 TV Drama for 9 Consecutive Years!
| Sharpen your senses and be on the look-out for clues in the compelling fifth season of the Emmy Award-winning series Murder, She Wrote, starring Golden Globe winner Angela Lansbury. This five-disc set features all 22 Season Five episodes that take TV's famous novelist-turned-detective, Jessica Fletcher, from not-so-sleepy Cabot Cove to the dangerous bright lights of New York City and beyond. From uncovering false fortune seekers to tracking down two-faced killers, Jessica is always there to catch the culprit and pen the final solution to the case. Giving their alibis in these entertaining episodes are an incredible group of guest stars, including Megan Mullaly, Erin Gray, Roddy McDowall, Bill Maher, Dinah Shore, Paul Sorvino, Shelley Fabares, and many more. A new chapter begins on DVD for one of TV's most sensational sleuths ever! |
"I think what makes the series is the fact that, well, it's Angela Lansbury. NeedCoffee.com

"...one of television's best mystery series...with Angela Lansbury effortlessly entertaining as the widowed ex-English teacher... Paul Mavis, DVD Talk
"...Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher character is probably one of the most beloved amateur sleuths in the genre... Vince D'Amato, Hollywood North Report

Editor's Note
There's little doubt that Jessica Fletcher's name belongs in the fictional detectives' hall of fame with such legends as Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, and Nancy Drew. Played by Angela Lansbury, the writer-detective was the center of MURDER, SHE WROTE, a mystery series that ran for 12 years. The fifth season finds Jessica solving crimes from her home town of Cabot Cove to the gritty streets of New York City. Future stars like Megan Mullally and Bill Maher made guest appearances, as did veteran actors like Roddy McDowall and Dinah Shore. Lansbury earned 12 nominations for her smart and warm portrayal of Jessica (one for each season), but she was never rewarded for her deserving efforts.
