Aurelia Astrea me too with my mom I still watch it on Hallmark movies and mysteries channel and on Peacock. Ms Angela Lansbury "Jessica Fletcher" and Tom Bosley as Amos did outstanding.
Same here, but I was already into G.F. Handel at age 9, early 70's, while everyone else preferred the latest sounds, (I wasn't a normal little boy) so when I heard this theme 10 years later, I thought it was hilarious! I enjoyed it every time. I couldn't twist with the show however, it was painfully boring. Columbo fan for sure. That's entertainment.
12 seasons is an AMAZING run for any show but especially a show about an older woman in Maine who is a crime novelist and solves real l murders. Who would ever think that show would be so successful or make a mark on pop culture? It was a giant hit on CBS and owned Sunday nights for the 11 seasons they aired it but stupidly CBS moved it from it's perfect timeslot.
Yes INDEED, Murder, She Worte debut in the Fall of '84 and became THE #1 NEW Drama of the Season and for 9 consecutive years, it became the #1 Drama on Prime Time Television, especially when it started beating out other favorite dramas in the ratings including Dynasty, The Colbys, Hotel, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Knots Landing, Magnum, P.I., Knight Rider, Simon & Simon, The A-Team, Hardcastle & McCormick, Riptide and even Trapper John, M.D. and The Fall Guy It was a Sunday Night Tradition for 11 years and it was in the Nielsen Ratings Top 15 before moving to Thursday Nights against NBC's Must See TV in Friends & The Single Guy and that spelled the end for Murder, She Wrote
@@dnasty312 You got that right, Murder, She Wrote, Rescue 911 and 48 Hours with Dan Rather didn't have a prayer against the ALMIGHTY Must See TV in Friends, TV' 2nd Most Watched NEW Comedy in The Single Guy, TV's #1 Comedy Seinfeld, TV's #1 NEW Comedy Caroline in the City and TV's #1 Drama in ER During the 95/96 Season which was my High School Freshman Year, NBC was #1 on Prime Time Television thanks to ER @ #1, Seinfeld @ #2, Friends @ #3, Caroline in the City @ #4 and The Single Guy @ #6 abc was in 2nd place on Prime Time thanks to The Network's Highest Rated Series Monday Night Football @ #5 and the Network's #1 Comedy in Home Improvement @ #7 and The Network's #1 Drama in NYPD Blue CBS was in 3rd place, but the only show that was in the Top 10 was of course, 60 Minutes and the other shows that were in the Top 30 from CBS were the Netwok's #1 Comedy in The Nanny, the Network's #1 Drama in Walker, Texas Ranger and Murphy Brown in the Nielsen Ratings Top 20 while Chicago Hope, the CBS Sunday Movie & Can't Hurry Love were in the Top 30, but CBS had a horrible Prime Time Schedule, however, CBS still remained #1 on Daytime Network Television
I knew about this show since I was a toddler and I still haven't seen it yet lol it's that iconic I guess. They're airing it on WGN in Janurary so I'm finally gonna check this show out
This series has been ongoing in Italy for some 35 years ... when I hear this, I can smell lasagnes, I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, see my dad working in the garage, and my mum calling for lunch =) Goodspeed, Jessica!
My late Grandmother: My late uncle: "Ain't no woman that damn smart." Grandmother: "Shut your mouth, Hayes." The point: don't screw with my grandmother's favorite TV programming.
as a kid in germany this show used to air everyday at 8:15 pm after the children's program. every night that intro was the cue that i had to go to bed. never even watched the show.
Have you tried watching it now? I watched it as a middle schooler and enjoyed it. I'm 24 now and I'm trying to find a way to re-watch it. I know it's on Amazon but I don't have the money right now for subscription. sigh.
My mom used to watch this show all the time when I was a little girl. All I remember from the show was the older woman starring in it and the intro song. Ahhh, memories. RIP mom. ❤️
The theme was re-recorded for this season, 6, (1989), this time in stereo; it was re-recorded with a different, more "elegant" arrangement minus the tuba for season 8 onwards (1991).
OMG...theme song makes me remember those old days when my elder brother used to watch this drama series and i,as a kid used to enjoy the theme song.. golden days
I used to watch this with my Pap! He'd always tease "There's Jessica riding that darn bicycle again! She should really get a car!" when the intro played. That used to make me laugh and laugh. I caught a re-run of the show on TV recently and I'm hooked all over again. Miss you Pap.
@@justinquigley9739 The town where she lived was Mendocino, California. They filmed there because it resembles New England. With regards to the other comment, it was not the set of Jaws. That was filmed on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.
my mom loves this show and she travels a lot so i'm often home alone. It was nice to be home alone, stay up however i want, eat whatever i want, could bring home mcdonalds without she yelling about the smell. But i know that i can truly call it home when i'm in my room and hear this theme vaguely play thru my headphones
I swear to God she's the spitting copy of my grandmother. She is also a writer, same hairstyle, same glasses, same face, same blonde... it's crazy man..
40 years ago Murder she wrote set the tradition of the Sunday night heroine timeslot on CBS, Touched by an Angel, Madam Secretary, and now the Equalizer
One of the best shows back in the day, grew up watching them; and have many DVD sets now. Can anyone tell me the episode used in the trailer, where jessica is investigating with the candle. She is looking through bars that are cobwebbed?
@@kendallrivers1119 I remember watching this as a kid and always wishing I could see the episode where that was from. Kinda sad finding out it was just from the intro, lol
I used to watch this at my grandma's house when I was a little kid in the early 1990s. It was one of my favorites 😍
Haha me 2 and macguyver and unsolved mysteries which totally scared the shiz out of me
Me too I used to watched this show alot at my grandmother's house we love it
Me too!!!
Aurelia Astrea me too with my mom I still watch it on Hallmark movies and mysteries channel and on Peacock. Ms Angela Lansbury "Jessica Fletcher" and Tom Bosley as Amos did outstanding.
@@johnwilliams6200 Tom Bosley was also the voice of David The Gnome which was also the name of the cartoon.
As a child in the 80s, I was always enthralled by the powerful intro from Murder she wrote, RIP Angela Lansbury
Amen. I was going to write my own, and while I was not alive in the 1980s, I could not have put it better myself.
So, I let your comment stand for me.

There was no competing with NBC on Thursday nights at that time ☝
@dnasty312 exactly! It was a stupid move! Networks always pull idiot moves like that

During the 95/96 Season which was my High School Freshman Year, NBC was #1 on Prime Time Television thanks to ER @ #1, Seinfeld @ #2, Friends @ #3, Caroline in the City @ #4 and The Single Guy @ #6
abc was in 2nd place on Prime Time thanks to The Network's Highest Rated Series Monday Night Football @ #5 and the Network's #1 Comedy in Home Improvement @ #7 and The Network's #1 Drama in NYPD Blue

And it was in the top 20 for 11 years! People loved the show and Angela Lansbury. But Les Moonves didn't like older women and wanted sex appeal.
the typewriter dramatically rolling back at 0.28 is just pure magic ✨
They're bloody hard to use!
I remember always hearing this music coming out my mom's bedroom when I was a kid lol, I never knew what she was watching until now.
I knew about this show since I was a toddler and I still haven't seen it yet lol it's that iconic I guess. They're airing it on WGN in Janurary so I'm finally gonna check this show out
Dude same. Except I did know and I always ran in when I heard it lmao
Is this on netflix?

Rest in peace Angela Lansbury. Just found out that she passed away. I used to watch does growing up in the 90s. She will be forever missed❤
I’m sorry to announce that Angela’s co star Ron Masak, has died aged 86 8 days after Angela
My late Grandmother:
My late uncle: "Ain't no woman that damn smart."
Grandmother: "Shut your mouth, Hayes."
The point: don't screw with my grandmother's favorite TV programming.
The highest murder rate per capita in the USA: Cabot Cove, Maine
If it was set in the Stephen King Universe then it would all make sense.
Twinned with Midsummer, UK!
It has a higher murder rate than Chicago.
That was also the set of Jaws
RIP Mrs. Lansbury!!! I used to watch this show with my grandma and often by myself once I got older!
Who remembers sitting at home and watching this show and just enjoying it?
I do!!! I did then and I still do!
Yea..
That was good
My weekends aren't complete without it!
Rest In Peace Angela Lansbury and thank you for so many childhood memories.
RIP Angela Lansbury. My late mom used to watch this show all the time. Listening to the theme brings back happy memories.
as a kid in germany this show used to air everyday at 8:15 pm after the children's program. every night that intro was the cue that i had to go to bed. never even watched the show.

Your parents never let you stay up late to watch "Mord Ist Ihr Hobby"? :)
My mom used to watch this show all the time when I was a little girl. All I remember from the show was the older woman starring in it and the intro song. Ahhh, memories. RIP mom. ❤️
Me too, I remember the intro and Angela Lansbury more than the actaul entire show, it was back in my childhood
RIP. Will always remember watching this show with my brothers at my Grandma's house.
Old people who loved old people and murder watched Murder She Wrote. Go Angela!!!
The theme was re-recorded for this season, 6, (1989), this time in stereo; it was re-recorded with a different, more "elegant" arrangement minus the tuba for season 8 onwards (1991).
OMG...theme song makes me remember those old days when my elder brother used to watch this drama series and i,as a kid used to enjoy the theme song.. golden days
Jessica Fletcher was like my third grandmother. The amount of times my mum played that show
I used to watch this with my Pap! He'd always tease "There's Jessica riding that darn bicycle again! She should really get a car!" when the intro played. That used to make me laugh and laugh. I caught a re-run of the show on TV recently and I'm hooked all over again. Miss you Pap.
I will always remember her as Jessica Fletcher and Mrs. Potts. Rest in peace, Mrs. Lansbury.
RIP Angela...Loved this show growing up!
Rest in peace Angela, part of my childhood!
This was my grandma favorite show before she passed away I miss you grandma 😢😢😢

The town she lived in was the set of jaws.

wouldn't it be funny if a maths channel used this as an intro?
😭😭😭😭 old days
RIP Angela Lansbury
40 years ago Murder she wrote set the tradition of the Sunday night heroine timeslot on CBS, Touched by an Angel, Madam Secretary, and now the Equalizer
This is the version of 'Matlock' the older women of Springfield watch. LOL

One of the best shows back in the day, grew up watching them; and have many DVD sets now. Can anyone tell me the episode used in the trailer, where jessica is investigating with the candle. She is looking through bars that are cobwebbed?
@alady4justice71That clip isn't from an episode, it was filmed for the opening credits.
THX, for letting me know!
Have to say I wish it was from an episode because it looks very interesting lol
@@kendallrivers1119 I remember watching this as a kid and always wishing I could see the episode where that was from. Kinda sad finding out it was just from the intro, lol
@Rob G I know! LOL I would love to see what type of case she would be on with that scenery
RIP
And now she’s gone 😢
I want someone to turn this into a beat so bad 😂😂
