"You know what will help my daughter recover from the traumatic suicide of her husband? Sending her on a cruise with a woman who always has dead bodies show up in her vicinity"
To be fair, this was still Season 1; it had happened enough times to be more than coincidence, but not enough that her brother would know about all of them!
This idea was parodied in a short comic in the anthology series Wild Life. The Jessica Fletcher character retires from mystery writing after she realizes murders follow her. She starts writing comedy and slapstick ensues, mostly to her handsome neighbor. In the end they start dating and her last statement is she has moved on to romances.
To be fair, it was 1984. Confidential information was looked on differently back then by the general public. It really took the 1989 death of Rebecca Shaeffer for the public to change their mind after a stalker hired a P.I. to get her home address from the D.M.V.
There's so many times I see an older person that I watched when I was young and go "wow, they didn't look as old as I remember them". Leslie Nielsen is not that person. He was the same age forever.
It's not murder she wrote but there is an episode of diagnosis murder where the killer is literally a vampire and I have been dying to see someone talk about it
@@jacksonheichel2318 Oh my god me too, I watched it sometime over the pandemic and what in the actual F. No one would be more perfect to review that episode than Roses!
My dad recently got engaged and I always struggled to connect with his fiance... That is until I realized she watched Murder She Wrote and The Golden Girls, and we connected immediately. This show, which I discovered from your videos, helped me connect with my new family, so thanks Roses!
I remember reading a book written by the natural born 1/2 sister of Scott Peterson. She would visit him often in jail. They always spoke about Murder She Wrote because Scott was able to watch it in jail (he was awaiting trial). She was trying to bond with him and I guess get him to open up. That way she could write a "tell-all" book.
I love those winks she shares with Ramon, I always felt more like it was just pretend flirting, but it was so cute, a harmless bit of fun, but if they ended it with Jess declining Leslie Nielson offer for dinner saying she was already asked out and then Ramon came by to share another wink, I'd be down with that, too :D
If you want more drunk Lansbury acting crazy, watch "Death on the Nile", an Hercule Poirot movie where she plays a naughty novelist called Salome Otterborne. It's GRAND! ☺ And Rose, please; more Murder She Wrote! Your funny comments on the show are the best!
@@kathyharris1627 SO: "Do you dance Tango?" Colonel Ries: "Poorly I'm afraid." SO: "Then I shall teach to do it rightly. As it was done in old Spain, when it was known as 'The Chica' with a sensual, EROTIC dash." CR: 😳😳
@@MissCaraMint I wish there was a version that combined David Suchet, the best Poirot ever, and Angela as Mrs Otterborne. It would be sheer perfection.
I wouldn’t be surprised. Later on Vickie Lawrence and Joanne Worley are talking with Jess about how they picked that cruise and they say something like “we’ve done our time on the Love Boats”. And both actresses had been on episodes of the Love Boat. The writers were clearly having fun.
These kids in their 30s! I was completely distracted the whole time after that comment waiting for @PushingUpRoses to say something like "Of course these are well-known comedic actors Joanne Worley and Vicki Lawrence." Oh, well. lol
I love how Jessica has basically hundreds of thousands of family members and millions of friends just to connect her to the stories and their plots. Haha!
This was delightful. I like the first season episodes as well. Leslie Nielsen and Jess "playing to the cheap seats" is always worth the price of admission. For another over-the-top, first-season episode, try "Broadway Malady", where the melodrama and plot twists are turned up to eleven, and Jessica uses psychology to trap the villain.
JB: "You see, you can be married to someone and THINK you know them intimately ... and ..." ROSES: "...then you read their browser history." 😏💻🤣😂 Oh, Roses, your videos bring such fun into my life! Thank you! 🥰💖
It's a shame they stopped making Jessica go undercover after the early seasons. Also love the one where she plays a drunk at the bar in An Outfit or the one set in Canada that gave us the popcorn eating meme. I'd love to see you cover the two-parter where a rival mystery writer literally brings a basket of poisoned apples to her house. I think it may have been the season 2 finale.
@@shuboy05 Yes, it was. Lansbury was feeling burnt out and it was thought the show would end. They brought it back but in Season 6 and 7 they had her just do the intros for several episodes which revolved around detective friends of hers.
It's a cruise, but it's not "meals included"? Jess has been duped into a shoddy cruise. :) Another great episode, and you'll never convince me that Jessica didn't have enough off-camera time to find someplace quiet with Ramon. :D
Seeing Leslie Nielsen in this makes me wonder how good it would've been if we had a Murder She Wrote/Police Squad crossover. Just imagining Jess trying to solve a serious crime with Frank Drebin and the others already has me laughing.
I know this isn't about Murder, She Wrote, but I would love to see you talk about Designing Women. I grew up on it (and Murder, She Wrote, and Golden Girls), and as much as I love it for the nostalgia factor and it being an all-around good show, it definitely got weird a lot.
If you enjoy Murder She Wrote, there's a British show called Death in Paradise. I know that most of it is on British Netflix, but I'm not sure about other countries. Its a little more interconnected than MSW with more of a sitcom like nature to the series, and there's usually 2 plots per episode, a murder and a character drama. Thoroughly enjoyable and one of my all time favourite series!
I love the show, too! Here in the US it used to be on Netflix, but I now watch it on britbox through Amazon prime. We're behind on season 10. They're releasing them every week on Tuesdays. We've got 4 episodes so far. I'm really saying this for anyone in the US actually interested and reading this.
I really love Murder in Paradise. I did not care for the first detective- the one who also played Professor T, and he plays basically the same character- but all the others since then have been really charming and all rather unique. I haven't seen it but there is a spinoff with the second detective, who appeared on Pirates of the Caribbean, in London. It might be fun.
"Look, I know you just lost your husband and you're questioning your own sanity, but GET ON THAT D," made me choke on my drink. I love these reviews of classic episodes!
Season 5, Episode 8 "Prediction: Murder". The first episode I ever remember seeing. It was in my Grandma's living room. She had truly comfy high-backed sofas that made the room very cozy along with the fireplace.
I would LOVE to see Roses do that one! It's such a great story. I remember being genuinely shocked by the ending. I also love that the show is associated with a cozy memory for you, as it is with so many of us :-)
The moral here is: never board a ship captained by Leslie Nielsen. Either the ship capsizes and your vacation is ruined OR you get all tangled up in some murder plot and your vacation is ruined.
@@rpgaholic8202 in that particular instance, several things were ruined, like pet tigers, sexy outfits and the very concept of the Id. No vacations, though.
I THOUGHT I recognized that spectacled nerd, Russell! Andrew Parks, whom I best know from the cult classic Lost Skeleton of Cadavra! And the secretaries appear to be Vicki Lawrence and Jo Anne Worley!
I'm still waiting on the superset of everytime Jessica says "I don't think so." .....also the video segment on the failed relationships of Grady Fletcher😂
@@anayalewis4646 Thanks for letting me know, but it's only "free" if you pay for the service. I may do a free trial eventually though, so it is good to know.
Jessica seemed extra savage on this episode. From taking those documents with no chill, the flirting, and how she was able to fool the bad guy with her drunk act.
"Jess comes back to find Pamela using a new blending technique with her own tears." Moments like these make me burst into laughter! So glad your series is back! By the way: the tan pants and the bright red polo shirt work really well together (at 5:41)!
The commentary on this Pushing Up Roses is some of the cleverest. Thanks for all the great LTOMSWs!! It's fun to enjoy a great old show before or after a corresponding witty take on it from you.
This is one of my favorite Murder She Wrote episodes!! I loved the creepy vibe around it and the fact that one couldn't go anywhere because it was on a ship, the fact that Leslie Nielsen was in it!!! And I just loved the two women that popped up every now and then; this was a fun and interesting episode
Hi Roses, My husband watches Murder She Wrote because of your videos. He told me to suggest Season 4, episode 9 "Trouble in Eden". It has Jessica Fletcher disguising herself as her friend to investigate the friend's sister's murder, and discovers a brothel.
If you enjoyed Drunk Jessica, y’all should tune into the 1978 film version of Death on the Nile, where that is pretty much her entire personality. I think she’s also psychic and wearing a turban for some reason
I forgot the episode's name, but I think it was season 6 when Grady was house sitting for Jessica. People keep breaking into her home, looking for a dragon statue while Jessica is in London.
There's an episode of "Murder She Wrote" that is one of my favorites and it's called "Death Stalks The Big Top" a two-parter episode that takes place at a traveling circus and it involves Jessica's brother-in-law who is thought to be dead by the family, but is actually working as a clown at a circus. This episode is really amazing and has a twist that no one saw coming. It's super long due to it having two parts, but it is definitely worth the watch!
Honestly this channel is one of those things that acts as a cross between multiple of my interests and it makes me so pleased to see other murder mystery kids horror obsessed gaming fans watching this channel and loving it.
I love how you say "if you have an episode you're just dying for me to cover," as though that isn't every single episode. ;) (But also, my answer is still and always-until-you-cover-it To The Last Will I Grapple With Thee. But also, every Harry McGraw ep, every Michael Haggarty ep, every Dennis Stanton ep, and also just every ep.)
I think the "Desensitisation" when it comes to murder mysteries is a bit of an inherent trait of the genre. If you think about the beginnings of it, society back then was probably a bit unnerved by the consumption of murder stories for entertainment. But I guess the more popular the genre became, the more ways the writers and consumers found to make it more casual and it became less weird for regular, you know, non-murderous people to enjoy it. Maybe it's comparable to horror movies nowadays, which are already consumed way more casually than they were like 30 years ago, 15 years ago. Yea, being trapped in a Saw puzzle would be a pretty bad day, but I'm still gonna munch popcorn and enjoy watching the movies, you know? rambling off
All those ancient Greek and Roman plays and myths got sanitised like crazy to become the fun heroic tales every kid knows, and in the centuries after that executions used to draw huge crowds. People have been bloodthirsty fans of messy drama for a very long time, interspersed with occasional bouts of prudishness that very quickly leads to suspiciously enthusiastic punishment. I feel like the fact we're somehow still captivated by a murder while largely rejecting the body is quite a strange phenomenon. Mind you, "true crime" has gotten very big, perhaps we're looking for a bit of blood again.
They filmed his episode on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, which is also where the 1979 Titanic movie “S.O.S. Titanic” was filmed. So many of the same deck locations pop up in this episode!
I've got an episode recommendation. Sticks and stones from season 2. It's a little bonkers in my opinion but I found it to be quite funny in parts and I'm certain you'll be able to make more sense out of it than I did.
One thing, I really enjoyed about this episode is how believable Marshall is as Jessica's brother. It also makes cousin Emma more believable later - sleuthing is in the genes of this family, I´m telling you! Even if we don´t see much of him, Marshall is immediately like "I´m getting the info, I can find here", like the man was on board with his sister's investigation. I can almost imagine them as kids playing detective and annoying the crap out of their parents XD
My mom and grandmama watched this while I was growing up, and it's still one of my mom's favorite shows. I, personally, was never a fan. But I love your videos on it, and your retrospectives have given me a whole lot of respect for Murder, She Wrote and I genuinely want to give it another chance. I've also shown my mom a lot of your That Time on Murder She Wrote videos, and she absolutely loves them! Also, Angela Lansbury is a hecking treasure.
Serious Leslie Nielsen is never not weird for me. I know it's how he got his start, I personally love him in semi-serious schlock because he basically plays comedy and drama the same, but I just can't NOT see him as Frank Drebin, POLICE SQUAD.
I love that one! All the fan club members were played by at one time well known actresses. It's like Angela said to old friends "People are telling you you're too old to get parts? Nonsense! Come on my show!"
You don’t know me, and I don’t know you beyond what you show us in the videos, which means that this could come off as very, very weird. That being said I’m going to say it anyway: I genuinely enjoy your videos and they way they allow me to, for a brief period, forget the world and go back to a time when things were simple and I could just enjoy a silly old mystery show with my mother. I understand that you, like me, have often dealt with issues of Depression and Anxiety. And that those feeling might make it feel like what you’re doing here isn’t worth it or making any impact. But I want you to know that it is worth it and it is making a impact. Even if it’s only 13 minutes of nostalgic joy and comfort for one person. Anyway. Sorry that was weird. Just seemed important to say.
Fun as always, Roses! Well done! Just wanted to add that the 2 comic relief secretaries are played by Vicki Lawrence (famous for The Carol Burnett show and Mama's Family) and Jo Ann Worley (famous for Laugh In and the voice of the wardrobe in Beauty and the Beast with Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts).

I love that Jess just walks off with confidential documents. You see that lady and you just think to yourself, "Yeah, I'm not messing with her."
respect your elders! especially when they can end your life with just a glance
People DIE around her... that's no coincidence
To be fair, it was 1984. Confidential information was looked on differently back then by the general public. It really took the 1989 death of Rebecca Shaeffer for the public to change their mind after a stalker hired a P.I. to get her home address from the D.M.V.
“I’m gonna keep these.”
“Oooookay then.”
Trying to stifle JB Fletcher in any way is an immediate off hand super scalding diss at your expense in her next book
Good thing this episode is set on the water, because it seems to making everyone involved thirsty
Pre edit missing a be there guy
im drunk after seeing it
to be fair, it's salt water. So they'll just end up more thirsty. :P
Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink.
Salt water
There's so many times I see an older person that I watched when I was young and go "wow, they didn't look as old as I remember them". Leslie Nielsen is not that person. He was the same age forever.
It's true--you have to go all the way back to the freaking /50's/ to see him look like a young man.
Small piece of trivia: his brother Erik was a Cabinet Minister in the Canadian government in the 80s.
I didn't watch 👀 MSW when I was younger because I thought it was an old lady show; now I'm Jessica's age!
You pretty much need to watch Forbidden Planet to see him younger…
Patrick Stewart is the same there's a clip of him on a British soap in 1967 he was 27 and he looks pretty much the same
It's not murder she wrote but there is an episode of diagnosis murder where the killer is literally a vampire and I have been dying to see someone talk about it
That episode is absolutely insane. I saw it for the first time a couple months ago and it was the strangest episode of that show I've seen.

"... and then you read their browser history." Nearly spit out my coffee! Too funny. Another great video!
I laughed in "first wife". 😉

@@MissCaraMint I wish there was a version that combined David Suchet, the best Poirot ever, and Angela as Mrs Otterborne. It would be sheer perfection.
So funny story, there's also a murder she wrote episode called "Death n' Denial" which I am almost certain is meant as an homage to this film. 😊
Her drunken "murder most foul" is surely a winking reference to her role as Salome Audubon in "Death on the Nile".
Of course.
I wouldn’t be surprised. Later on Vickie Lawrence and Joanne Worley are talking with Jess about how they picked that cruise and they say something like “we’ve done our time on the Love Boats”. And both actresses had been on episodes of the Love Boat. The writers were clearly having fun.
The “Liza Minnelli” type was famous comedienne Joanne Worley. Look her up, as well as the 60s show Laugh In. It was a cultural innovator.
And her partner is legendary Vicki Lawrence!
Both two women who could be considered comedy legends. Joanne Worley started my obsession with feather boas and I will forever be in her debt.
Viki Lawrence, thank you! She looked so familiar but I couldn't place her
Jo Anne Worley was also the voice of the wardrobe in Disneys Beauty &The Beast. Marvellous comedienne.
These kids in their 30s! I was completely distracted the whole time after that comment waiting for @PushingUpRoses to say something like "Of course these are well-known comedic actors Joanne Worley and Vicki Lawrence." Oh, well. lol
"It's always barbiturates" omg I love you 😂
The "Do you like The Beatles?" joke was 100% a Leslie Nielsen type of line, you absolutely nailed it. 🤣
I'm just wondering, has anyone ever made a complete family tree for Jessica. I just wonder how wide it would have to be.
@Ash A Jessica's side would be pretty normal. Frank, on the other hand, would have drafted the next Garden of Eden
“You ever have a bathing suit that was both too loose and too tight at the same time?” 😂
Yes.
Have you ever fallen out of a bathing suit that was both too loose and too tight at the same time? (It's OK. I know how to handle the PTSD.)
That comment was so perfect, and yes. Yes I have. Usually it's because the straps aren't adjusted right, but sometimes it's just a crappy design.

Ignoring the darkness is Jessica's expertise. She steps over dead bodies like its no big deal. A dead person, every day life. Even on episode one

Your kidding, you watched/remember that show too?!? The "cover me" line. I loved that show, a funny police show. Most were serious.
That's because he was a locksmith. And he was a locksmith.

"She won't go down with this ship."
Be honest. You knew what you were doing when you wrote that line.
Leslie Nielsen had no luck navigating the Poseidon.
Will he have luck in not sinking this boat as well?
How to draw the J B Fletcher family tree... Freshly paint a room in your house with white paint and give a gaggle of kids a pack of red pens.
Thank you, Roses. I've had a really bad day, so a new "That Time on Murder she wrote" on an episode I really liked was just what I needed.

"Jess comes back to find Pamela using a new blending technique with her own tears." Moments like these make me burst into laughter! So glad your series is back!
By the way: the tan pants and the bright red polo shirt work really well together (at 5:41)!
The commentary on this Pushing Up Roses is some of the cleverest. Thanks for all the great LTOMSWs!! It's fun to enjoy a great old show before or after a corresponding witty take on it from you.
This series is one of the best things on the internet. I'd love to see a video on "The legacy of Borbey House" it is a bit vampiric in nature.
"Pepper..."
"Salt!"
I choked on my taco 🤣
This is one of my favorite Murder She Wrote episodes!! I loved the creepy vibe around it and the fact that one couldn't go anywhere because it was on a ship, the fact that Leslie Nielsen was in it!!! And I just loved the two women that popped up every now and then; this was a fun and interesting episode
Hi Roses, My husband watches Murder She Wrote because of your videos. He told me to suggest Season 4, episode 9 "Trouble in Eden". It has Jessica Fletcher disguising herself as her friend to investigate the friend's sister's murder, and discovers a brothel.
The funniest thing I've ever heard... "Using a new blending technique with her own tears." LOL
Oh my goodness the "get on that D" line made me spit out my coffee. 🤣 I love this series so much!
If you enjoyed Drunk Jessica, y’all should tune into the 1978 film version of Death on the Nile, where that is pretty much her entire personality. I think she’s also psychic and wearing a turban for some reason
Between the "ooh would we call that blonde?" And the "my love! My niece" I subscribed this is just great
The Leslie Nielsen epsiodes are really good. It was so rare to see him doing more serious roles.
I love these so much! Funny jokes, fun stories, excellent quips! Please keep making these! I'll take over 200 episodes!
I forgot the episode's name, but I think it was season 6 when Grady was house sitting for Jessica. People keep breaking into her home, looking for a dragon statue while Jessica is in London.
The Szechuan Dragon, Season 6, Episode 21
I’m rewatching this episode because I’m in a bad mental space. Roses’ voice and humor is so soothing. Thank you Roses.
"Pepper~"
"Salt is that you?"
😂😂😂
There's an episode of "Murder She Wrote" that is one of my favorites and it's called "Death Stalks The Big Top" a two-parter episode that takes place at a traveling circus and it involves Jessica's brother-in-law who is thought to be dead by the family, but is actually working as a clown at a circus. This episode is really amazing and has a twist that no one saw coming. It's super long due to it having two parts, but it is definitely worth the watch!
I LOVE that one. Anything that starts with Courtney Cox talking about how she was blessed by a leprechaun has my vote.
Another classic episode
Gotta say, your love for Mrs Angela Lansbury is genuinely wholesome and lovable in of itself 🤣
"whose accent wavers between Italian, French, and Mrs. Doubtfire" 😂
Honestly this channel is one of those things that acts as a cross between multiple of my interests and it makes me so pleased to see other murder mystery kids horror obsessed gaming fans watching this channel and loving it.
OH MY GOD PUSHINGUPROSES MURDERSHEWROTE EPISODE YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!!
I love how you say "if you have an episode you're just dying for me to cover," as though that isn't every single episode. ;) (But also, my answer is still and always-until-you-cover-it To The Last Will I Grapple With Thee. But also, every Harry McGraw ep, every Michael Haggarty ep, every Dennis Stanton ep, and also just every ep.)
I love these so much. Don’t stop until you’ve done every Murder She Wrote episode 😄
I think the "Desensitisation" when it comes to murder mysteries is a bit of an inherent trait of the genre. If you think about the beginnings of it, society back then was probably a bit unnerved by the consumption of murder stories for entertainment. But I guess the more popular the genre became, the more ways the writers and consumers found to make it more casual and it became less weird for regular, you know, non-murderous people to enjoy it. Maybe it's comparable to horror movies nowadays, which are already consumed way more casually than they were like 30 years ago, 15 years ago. Yea, being trapped in a Saw puzzle would be a pretty bad day, but I'm still gonna munch popcorn and enjoy watching the movies, you know? rambling off
All those ancient Greek and Roman plays and myths got sanitised like crazy to become the fun heroic tales every kid knows, and in the centuries after that executions used to draw huge crowds. People have been bloodthirsty fans of messy drama for a very long time, interspersed with occasional bouts of prudishness that very quickly leads to suspiciously enthusiastic punishment. I feel like the fact we're somehow still captivated by a murder while largely rejecting the body is quite a strange phenomenon. Mind you, "true crime" has gotten very big, perhaps we're looking for a bit of blood again.
I love this show and you’re channel so this is perfect
I wonder if Roses would do reaction/hangout streams for the episodes that may not warrant a fully edited type of video.
I would love this!
Sounds great
Season 3, episode 18 “No laughing murder.” It’s a fun one with a young George Clooney, plus the guy who voices scuttle from the little mermaid
Yes! A new episode of "That Time on Murder She Wrote" is EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks!
"At this moment I have motive for killing you" - Leslie Nielsen, well you better not mess with him either after what happened in Creepshow
They filmed his episode on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, which is also where the 1979 Titanic movie “S.O.S. Titanic” was filmed. So many of the same deck locations pop up in this episode!
I've got an episode recommendation. Sticks and stones from season 2. It's a little bonkers in my opinion but I found it to be quite funny in parts and I'm certain you'll be able to make more sense out of it than I did.
One thing, I really enjoyed about this episode is how believable Marshall is as Jessica's brother. It also makes cousin Emma more believable later - sleuthing is in the genes of this family, I´m telling you! Even if we don´t see much of him, Marshall is immediately like "I´m getting the info, I can find here", like the man was on board with his sister's investigation. I can almost imagine them as kids playing detective and annoying the crap out of their parents XD
I've had the theme song to The Love Boat stuck in my head for about a week, so this episode is doing some serious harm to my brain.
That's appropriate because the two crazy ladies, Jo Ann Worley appeared on that show 4 different times, and Vicki Lawrence 5 times.
My mom and grandmama watched this while I was growing up, and it's still one of my mom's favorite shows. I, personally, was never a fan. But I love your videos on it, and your retrospectives have given me a whole lot of respect for Murder, She Wrote and I genuinely want to give it another chance. I've also shown my mom a lot of your That Time on Murder She Wrote videos, and she absolutely loves them!
Also, Angela Lansbury is a hecking treasure.
Serious Leslie Nielsen is never not weird for me. I know it's how he got his start, I personally love him in semi-serious schlock because he basically plays comedy and drama the same, but I just can't NOT see him as Frank Drebin, POLICE SQUAD.
That one Columbo episode set on the cruise ship is excellent too💯
Season 7 episode 14 where Jess has a literal fan club!! It's absolutely bonkers XD
That one is so much fun!
I love that one! All the fan club members were played by at one time well known actresses. It's like Angela said to old friends "People are telling you you're too old to get parts? Nonsense! Come on my show!"
Please never stop making these
You don’t know me, and I don’t know you beyond what you show us in the videos, which means that this could come off as very, very weird.
That being said I’m going to say it anyway:
I genuinely enjoy your videos and they way they allow me to, for a brief period, forget the world and go back to a time when things were simple and I could just enjoy a silly old mystery show with my mother.
I understand that you, like me, have often dealt with issues of Depression and Anxiety. And that those feeling might make it feel like what you’re doing here isn’t worth it or making any impact.
But I want you to know that it is worth it and it is making a impact.
Even if it’s only 13 minutes of nostalgic joy and comfort for one person.
Anyway. Sorry that was weird. Just seemed important to say.
That wasn't weird at all! I think you spoke for many people when you said "Even if it’s only 13 minutes of nostalgic joy and comfort for one person."
I think it's 13 minutes of joy for many, and we all need that!
Fun as always, Roses! Well done! Just wanted to add that the 2 comic relief secretaries are played by Vicki Lawrence (famous for The Carol Burnett show and Mama's Family) and Jo Ann Worley (famous for Laugh In and the voice of the wardrobe in Beauty and the Beast with Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts).
