The citizens of Cabbot Cove should know better at this point than to frame someone with Jessica in town. It's like playing with matches around an open can of gasoline.
"See this ring? My mother bought this ring with my father, from a pawnshop in Newark. They always told me that it was the true symbol of their love. When she died, I insisted the mortician saw off the finger so I could have it. It's an heirloom from the earlier time of 1962."
They lost two performers, one to jail, one to being dead, and they still put on the show? I know Freddie said, "The Show Must Go On," but this is a bit ridiculous.
"This ring has been in my family for two generations." So, like, your mom bought it, or what? I feel like most people would say "this ring was my mom's/grandma's", depending on how many actual generations we're talking about. Also it's a bit confusing because I have no idea if that lady is including herself in that count.
Normally 3 generations is about where you get to start being proud of not having lost the thing, since that implies about 60-80 years. But yeah, mostly "this was my great grandmothers" or similar is a better boast, especially since it implies you actually know anything about the piece itself (for example, I have a necklace that was made from a pair of earrings that my grandmother had when she was young, far more interesting than "oh this old thing? It's just old")
Perhaps they were non-sequential generations. Her great-great-great-grandmother put it in hock and it took till her mother's day to redeem it. :) "We were fortunate in having a string of very, very patient pawnbrokers."
My late father developed quite an adoration for Ms Fletcher when he was stuck at home and got his day/night waking periods mixed up. Local channels would show Murder, She Wrote during his early morning awake time. He and I would riff on the episodes, but he absolutely loved the acting of Angela Lansbury, and even found the stories very entertaining. Thank you for your videos, they remind me of him and our happy hours.
May I ask what caused the time change for him? Was it just being stuck inside or something else? Since I lost my hearing time has become kind of irrelevant because I'm not interacting with people so much so I'm currently watching M.A.S.H since they show it about 5 times a day.
@@incredibleflameboy It was not being stuck inside, although he was elderly (in his 80s) and he had cancer, he was very active and had a good group of friends who watched out for each other. I have other friends who are nearing the "older years" and they have noticed that their days and nights are beginning to turn without a real reason other than they find it difficult to sleep for long periods of time, and they find more television to watch that is to their liking during the late night and early morning hours. So, like grazing when you eat, they are beginning to "graze" when they sleep. Naps are becoming sufficient where full nights used to be necessary. My father was also quite hard of hearing, but if the sound of something was loud enough he heard it quite well. He, also, refused to wear his hearing aids (an long fought battle between him and I). I finally gave in and just accepted that this was his lifestyle and he had earned it. He lived alone and if he wanted to blast the tv at 3 in the morning, and then sleep until 1PM, so be it. It wasn't harming anyone, we all adjusted. When I retired several years ago, I made a commitment to not become a shut-in, something I am naturally prone to do. I enjoy my alone time. When I am alone, I am not lonely, but I know to be better physically and psychically, I needed to interact with people and not give-in to my innate shyness. I ended up joining a local fitness center (associated with a local hospital system) where I could do my arthritis therapy and swim all year-round. I found a great group of friends, many with my same physical problems. We understand and support one another. Its a sisterhood I didn't realize existed or knew I needed. BTW, my father also loved MASH :) Its a show you can watch over and over and always find something new. I hope you are enjoying it.
The Old Walker Place is 1313 Mockingbird Lane (The Munsters from The Munsters, of course!) and 4351 Wisteria Lane (Betty Applewhite, etc. on Desperate Housewives).
@@originalhulahoop72 That was the biggest mystery on tv and the most successful cliffhanger. All over the world ppl were waiting for the new season to find out who had done it and it took nearly another season with a very long list of suspects before they revealed it. You can't have that now.
Trivia Time: Bedknobs and Broomsticks was likely inspired by the darker urban legend of witches banding together in Britain to fight Hitler. The Novel "Lammas Night" by Katherine Kurtz (1983) is a fictionalization of the legend.
"It's been in my family for two generations" instead of "It was my mom's." I know people who try to church everything up to make it sound like something impressive. I actually heard someone say, "I live in Upstate Alabama" the other day!
Is downstate Alabama radically different from upstate? New Yorkers have to specify "upstate New York" to avoid people assuming we're from NYC- which makes up the majority of our population and almost all our tax base but is still widely despised by state residents who don't live there.
@@richmcgee434 Weeeelllll, there's a large area of central/southern Alabama that's majority-black, but I don't want to assume that was the distinction they were making >_>
"Aww, rich man can't do his rich little hobbies, how terrible." That made me cackle tbh Also, how DID they need a forensics just to tell them it was wig hair?!
I mean, on one hand, you'd be living in what was, for many years, the murder capitol of the world. On the other hand, you know Jessica would be the kind of neighbour to invite you over pretty regularly for a lovely meal. AND she'd stop at nothing to solve your inevitable murder.
Hey Roses, I've been watching these videos since they started, it makes me so happy to finally see someone who's not my gran love Murder, She Wrote. I don't think you've covered this episode yet, but I would love to see your reaction to Season 6 episode 7, "Night of the Tarantula". It's a fun episode, but the way they catch the killer is batshit insane, I was dying of laughter when it happened. You don't have to cover this of course, it's your channel do what you want. This was simply a suggestion because I'd love to see your take on it. Anyway I hope you have a wonderful day whether you read this comment or not.
Angela Lansbury and Marian Seldes (Lydia) are both Tony award winners and stared together in Terrence McNally's Deuce on Broadway in 2007. For Angela, it was a return to the broadway stage after a 20 year absence at the age of 81.
You know, for a small town where people enjoy their quiet and mind their fences, folks sure to get _thirsty_ fast. It puts all those fears about "young tourists" in a different light. Aw, all this spook and no mention of The Legacy of the Borbey House, the episode where a vampire moves into Cabot Cove? Metzger's casual racism against vampires is pretty great.
The Nine Inch Nails reference had me laughing out loud!! For me, the toll bell sounds in that scene always reminded me of the bells in Ministry 's "Dreamsong."
The actor that played Charles Winthrop is Robert Vaughn, who is also in the episodes of Murder, She Wrote: 'The Grand Old Lady' & 'Murder Digs Deep' (as different characters) as well as the classic western 'The Magnificent Seven' and great science fiction classic 'Battle Beyond the Stars'.
Watching this on the TV, but the Trent Reznor cameo was enough to compel me to put down my crochet and walk over to the computer to type in this comment. No one has ever combined my love of NIN and Murder She Wrote. Thank you. ❤
I can't believe that Cabot Cove would have a history of burning witches, with as many people is died there every year who would even have the arm strength to cut the wood
@@paulastiles8873 Interesting fact that I did not know. My comment was directed more to those fun loving Puritans who always knew how to have a good time.
I can’t. Fucking. Stop. Watching. These. I’ve never seen the show but it’s just so interesting and you’re so funny that I haven’t watched a single other channel in days!
Sometimes I feel you talk too fast for me, a non-native speaker, so I dial the speed of the videos down to .75 which makes you sound like you’re giving a drunk speech about my grandmothers favourite to show at a party, which just makes me love these videos even more. I love this series, can’t get enough of it! 💜
Belle Tower - A great drag name, as Trixie Mattel had said about Ben De La Creme. Because she really does live in a bell tower in real life. So everytime you say Belle Tower, I can't help but think how great a goth drag name that really is.
This is a solidly spooky episode to cover! The spookiest part even before the autumnal vibes and witchiness is the bit where she decides to full on massage a strangers foot. Always gives me the shivers. Spoooooky.
Robert Vaughn! He plays a conman in the British show Hustle. As much as I do miss your game related content, I do look forward to these kinds of videos and the pique of Halloween vibes you bring :)
Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that! It kind of makes this particular episode of MSW hilarious in hindsight, as since the guy he played was committing fraud, you could argue that this was Albert Strollers previous life before going onto grifting. He got the taste for the long con with the stuff here and decided to go to London to join a gang of grifters :) Fun episode, Roses! Always nice to watch one of your videos :)
At 6:29 , you mentioned Jess being a handwriting expert which is really funny because in the Murder She Wrote book “The Ghost and Mrs. Fletcher” she gathered handwriting samples of Cliff and Cliffs son to determine who wrote the murder note
Have you done the season 2 episode "Reflections of the Mind" yet? An obvious homage to "Gaslight?" Featuring a canary named "Chirpy" and a dog named "Ruff?" The only time I can recall where the character who calls JB "Aunt Jess" actually did it?
I do at least appreciate how Bill Maher's character in Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble is basically...a loudmouth who's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
With the absurd number of murders in cabet cove, the statement "the walker place? why no ones lived there for years." Should be converted to be the town motto when anyone moves into anywhere in the town. "The (insert name) place? Why no ones lived there since Jessica Fletcher solved their grisly murders several years ago!
You know, the other episode with witch that was mentioned, Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble, led me to make the head canon that Jessica's family, the Fletchers, indeed had a witches curse put upon them that caused the worst case scenarios of their jobs to play out. So while her husband had a plane crash while being a pilot, Jessica, being a murder mystery writer, has murders follow her all over the place.
Excellent as always, and I really appreciated the 'Carry On Screaming' reference, as I adore that film... And frankly, I wouldn't expect anyone from outside of Great Britain to have even heard of it, much less reference it in a 'Murder, She Wrote' episode overview! 😁
Can you imagine if Jessic really was a master witch, but a really chill one who used her powers to do research for her books and still using only her wits to solve mysteries?
Love this channel! If you ever run out of Murder She Wrote episodes to hilariously unpack you would do wonderful comedic justice to Quantum Leap. Keep up the great work!
I highly recommend the episode "Town Father". It's a Cabot Cove episode with lot's of returning faces and it has a goofy tone that makes it a lot of fun.
Nine Inch Nails? No, but at the start I was thinking about "Burn the Witch" by Radiohead. I know I have asked this approximately 27 times, but I still hope you'll review "Jessica Behind Bars".
I'm sorry, but the only thing I could think about whenever Mariah was on screen was how I'd love to treat her hair with some oil. Loved your video on this episode!
Congratulations on the million+ views, Roses! I'm so excited that so many new people got to experience the sheer awesomeness that is Pushing Up Roses reviewing the adventures of the beloved J.B. Fletcher. And thank you so much for this latest dose of Murder, She Wrote goodness. Hope you're having a wonderful Spooky Season and have a very Happy Halloween! 🎃🖤
OMG! I just today found you. This is delightful! I thought I was the Lone Ranger when it came to Murder, She Wrote. I absolutely love that show. I watch Jessica every single day. I even set my tv on a timer at night so I can go to sleep listening to MSW. I started watching this show after my divorce (25+ years ago). I saw all the places Jessica went to and the things she did on her own without having to lean/wait on someone else. Made me realize that I could do the things I want to do myself.
Mr Winthrop was played by the marvellous Robert Vaughn, who among many, many roles, was the original Napoleon Solo in the classic 60s TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and in the 2000s the BBC series Hustle, along with tons of movie and tv roles in between
It’s a shame that Bill Maher messes up Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble with his stupid face, since that episode also had: Roddy McDowell, just four years after Fright Night came out, and Brad Dourif just one year after voicing Chucky
@@binkao2938 He's got a political talk show -- or used to have one, I'm not sure. Anyway, he has a lot of stupid opinions and can't keep his mouth shut.
Where you been, too long? Bill Mahr was in 2 of the best MSW episodes! The other, "Good-Bye Charlie" (s6e12) with Faith Ford. Fenella Fielding as Valeria Watt She was in two of the Carry On films, the second was her role as the vampish Valeria in Carry On Screaming ! (1966).
I love your videos so much! They are so much fun and I love playing them while I sleep (Compliment, I promise)! I would love to see you cover the Jessica-lite episode "Murder in A Minor Key" (s3 e14). Jessica is relaxing at home and proof reading one of her own books. It's about a trio of friends in college and one is accused of murdering a professor. But the best part, the murder is solved by Joe Hardy and Marty Maraschino! (Or something like that 🧐) Anyway, it's fabulous and one of my favorites!
I'd like to suggest you do a episode on season 2, episode 14 Keep Home Fries Burning. About a murder at the Joshua Peabody Inn, where there is poison in the strawberry preserves.
You’ve finally covered an episode I’ve never seen! Every other episode you’ve covered I’ve seen at least a couple times so I already know the story but you’ve finally covered one I haven’t and it was just as much fun to watch! Now I have to go find this episode and watch it as I am so excited to see it lol!
Oh hey I did an essay on fire burn, cauldron bubble for college. Had to watch 10 minutes of a crime drama and connect it to tropes of drama in general. Chose this one because of your videos!
Started my lunch break with about a half a dozen new video notifications, but as soon as I saw one for a new Roses video I knew what I was going to watch first
@@TheEntilza He is a youtuber who talks about books and their movie adaptations. Him and Roses are friends and its adorable whenever one of them makes a post to the community tab about the other one. You can check his channel out, if you're intrested. It's called 'Dominic Noble' and I can recommend it.
The woman playing the murderer in this also plays the old lady Mrs Hess in Home Alone 3, i dunno if that's relevant i just think it's cool. Very distinctive look
And here we have the legendary Robert Vaughn adding to the murder mystery trope of, "If someone's in a wheelchair, they're totally faking." There was another ep on MSW with that, too- the one about a guy who comes back to Cabot Cove after serving 20 years unjustly and wants to find the real killer.
PUR, as a person who also struggles with mental health issues I want to say you’re an inspiration. It’s a daily struggle, but to know there are others out there makes it easier to fight.
As someone who also spent a lot of time with their grandparents I love this series so much. It lets me live out my fantasy of being able to discuss this show with my friends because we watch them together and so now they know enough I can do it. Now time for my insane theory that doesn't fit with the tone or setting of the show: Jessica Fletcher isn't a serial killer, when her husband died he became some sort of grin reaper type thing as a ghost. The reason death follows her is because he loves her and wants to keep an eye on her but still has to collect souls. I don't think this would be something the show would ever do, but it's true in my heart and I love it.
"So... that guy's dead" and the accompanying musical sting is always satisfying in any of these episodes.
I hope we get a so this guy's dead compilation one day
followed by beewwwhhhhhheeeeeww
I always look forward to that.😂
I feel like this should be used in history videos
@@BradleyBoy oh, I second that!
"And you are?"
"Jessica Fletcher, master witch."
Nice use of the Bedknobs and Broomsticks reference!
I cackled, very nice reference, plus your dry line read made it even better 🧙♀️
Just she's just an apprentice witch, you know. 😊
Eglantine Fletcher!
The citizens of Cabbot Cove should know better at this point than to frame someone with Jessica in town. It's like playing with matches around an open can of gasoline.
Seriously! You'd think any and all criminals would have cleared off after season one!
What? Fun and definitely advised?
I still think Jessica is the real killer every time
Just a liiiittle water XD
Hello noble remember me the person who attack linkara looks like ill attack others.
I cannot believe that Cabot Cove has a stereotypical fire dalmation.
Actually, I totally can, and thank you for including the doggo in the video. :D
"See this ring? My mother bought this ring with my father, from a pawnshop in Newark. They always told me that it was the true symbol of their love. When she died, I insisted the mortician saw off the finger so I could have it. It's an heirloom from the earlier time of 1962."
They lost two performers, one to jail, one to being dead, and they still put on the show? I know Freddie said, "The Show Must Go On," but this is a bit ridiculous.
At this rate, we're going to need an extra playlist dedicated to the cats and doggos of Cabot Cove.
the only thing i can't believe is that there wasn't an episode centered around the fire station and their stereotypical fire dalmatian is featured.
"This ring has been in my family for two generations."
So, like, your mom bought it, or what? I feel like most people would say "this ring was my mom's/grandma's", depending on how many actual generations we're talking about.

Robert Vaughn! He plays a conman in the British show Hustle. As much as I do miss your game related content, I do look forward to these kinds of videos and the pique of Halloween vibes you bring :)
Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that! It kind of makes this particular episode of MSW hilarious in hindsight, as since the guy he played was committing fraud, you could argue that this was Albert Strollers previous life before going onto grifting. He got the taste for the long con with the stuff here and decided to go to London to join a gang of grifters :)
Fun episode, Roses! Always nice to watch one of your videos :)
I absolutely LOVED that show!!
Loved Hustle! I still go back and watch the first 4 seasons every year. Didn't like the last couple seasons.
I love "Carry on Screaming" with the delicious Fenella Fielding. Heck, I am a sucker for ALL of the Carry On movies. Great, stilly fun.
At 6:29 , you mentioned Jess being a handwriting expert which is really funny because in the Murder She Wrote book “The Ghost and Mrs. Fletcher” she gathered handwriting samples of Cliff and Cliffs son to determine who wrote the murder note
Watched this episode drunk last night. My god the "I'm sorry the wind held the door open" after the dramatic fling was priceless
Have you done the season 2 episode "Reflections of the Mind" yet? An obvious homage to "Gaslight?" Featuring a canary named "Chirpy" and a dog named "Ruff?" The only time I can recall where the character who calls JB "Aunt Jess" actually did it?
I do at least appreciate how Bill Maher's character in Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble is basically...a loudmouth who's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
What a stretch for him.
The part he was born to play
A superiority complex with a pulse, that's what he is.
With the absurd number of murders in cabet cove, the statement "the walker place? why no ones lived there for years." Should be converted to be the town motto when anyone moves into anywhere in the town. "The (insert name) place? Why no ones lived there since Jessica Fletcher solved their grisly murders several years ago!
Mary Crosby shines in this episode but she always did. The episode is great.
I apologize I forgot to mention on this video that you are precious gem and deserve every good vibe anyone might ever send your way.
You know, the other episode with witch that was mentioned, Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble, led me to make the head canon that Jessica's family, the Fletchers, indeed had a witches curse put upon them that caused the worst case scenarios of their jobs to play out. So while her husband had a plane crash while being a pilot, Jessica, being a murder mystery writer, has murders follow her all over the place.
Excellent as always, and I really appreciated the 'Carry On Screaming' reference, as I adore that film... And frankly, I wouldn't expect anyone from outside of Great Britain to have even heard of it, much less reference it in a 'Murder, She Wrote' episode overview! 😁
Can you imagine if Jessic really was a master witch, but a really chill one who used her powers to do research for her books and still using only her wits to solve mysteries?
She isn't?
Love this channel! If you ever run out of Murder She Wrote episodes to hilariously unpack you would do wonderful comedic justice to Quantum Leap. Keep up the great work!
I burst out laughing at "I'm Beth." Great delivery.
Thank you for including a nod to Eglantine. B&B is one of my all-time favorites.
I highly recommend the episode "Town Father". It's a Cabot Cove episode with lot's of returning faces and it has a goofy tone that makes it a lot of fun.
A Carry On reference? And a Carry On Screaming one at that!? What a nice surprise!
Nine Inch Nails? No, but at the start I was thinking about "Burn the Witch" by Radiohead. I know I have asked this approximately 27 times, but I still hope you'll review "Jessica Behind Bars".
Ooh that's a great suggestion! There's some good drama in that one.
"Stay in the Shadows..."
I'm sorry, but the only thing I could think about whenever Mariah was on screen was how I'd love to treat her hair with some oil. Loved your video on this episode!
I can't believe the Man from UNCLE would lie like that.
I always feel like I'm 10yr old and playing a Sierra adventure game when I watch your GB fletcher videos. Thank you!
Congratulations on the million+ views, Roses! I'm so excited that so many new people got to experience the sheer awesomeness that is Pushing Up Roses reviewing the adventures of the beloved J.B. Fletcher. And thank you so much for this latest dose of Murder, She Wrote goodness. Hope you're having a wonderful Spooky Season and have a very Happy Halloween! 🎃🖤
OMG! I just today found you. This is delightful! I thought I was the Lone Ranger when it came to Murder, She Wrote. I absolutely love that show. I watch Jessica every single day. I even set my tv on a timer at night so I can go to sleep listening to MSW. I started watching this show after my divorce (25+ years ago). I saw all the places Jessica went to and the things she did on her own without having to lean/wait on someone else. Made me realize that I could do the things I want to do myself.
I'm so excited! I have been looking forward to your next MSW! Yey spoopy episode 🎃🖤
Mr Winthrop was played by the marvellous Robert Vaughn, who among many, many roles, was the original Napoleon Solo in the classic 60s TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and in the 2000s the BBC series Hustle, along with tons of movie and tv roles in between
Woohoo, a spoOOoky Halloween MSW episode! Thank you, Roses! The "Jess is a witch" bit got me 👍🏻😂
You mention the Carry On films and honestly that makes me so happy!
🥰
It’s a shame that Bill Maher messes up Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble with his stupid face, since that episode also had: Roddy McDowell, just four years after Fright Night came out, and Brad Dourif just one year after voicing Chucky
That's a surprisingly strong cast
Who is Bill Maher? Why is he bad?
damn now I'm definitely going to have to check it out
@@binkao2938 He's got a political talk show -- or used to have one, I'm not sure. Anyway, he has a lot of stupid opinions and can't keep his mouth shut.
@binkao2938 He's a dbag, to answer both your questions.
Where you been, too long? Bill Mahr was in 2 of the best MSW episodes! The other, "Good-Bye Charlie" (s6e12) with Faith Ford.
Fenella Fielding as Valeria Watt
She was in two of the Carry On films, the second was her role as the vampish Valeria in Carry On Screaming ! (1966).
I love your videos so much! They are so much fun and I love playing them while I sleep (Compliment, I promise)! I would love to see you cover the Jessica-lite episode "Murder in A Minor Key" (s3 e14). Jessica is relaxing at home and proof reading one of her own books. It's about a trio of friends in college and one is accused of murdering a professor. But the best part, the murder is solved by Joe Hardy and Marty Maraschino! (Or something like that 🧐) Anyway, it's fabulous and one of my favorites!
I don't know what is with my favorite youtubers and nine inch nails lately but I'm here for it
Moral of the story: All 80s shows should've had a witch burning.
I'd like to suggest you do a episode on season 2, episode 14 Keep Home Fries Burning. About a murder at the Joshua Peabody Inn, where there is poison in the strawberry preserves.
You’ve finally covered an episode I’ve never seen! Every other episode you’ve covered I’ve seen at least a couple times so I already know the story but you’ve finally covered one I haven’t and it was just as much fun to watch! Now I have to go find this episode and watch it as I am so excited to see it lol!
I love the delivery of "Oh, God, it's Satan". So unimpressed. xD
Oh hey I did an essay on fire burn, cauldron bubble for college. Had to watch 10 minutes of a crime drama and connect it to tropes of drama in general. Chose this one because of your videos!
Please never stop doing this. Do every episode. Then redo them all again. Or Matlock too. Thank you so much.
Just when you think you've seen everything, another episode of 'That Time on Murder, She Wrote' drops and you're baffled all over again.
Started my lunch break with about a half a dozen new video notifications, but as soon as I saw one for a new Roses video I knew what I was going to watch first
Return of the queen (you and Jess)
I love how you and Dominic keep uploading at similar times!
Who is Dominic?
@@TheEntilza He is a youtuber who talks about books and their movie adaptations. Him and Roses are friends and its adorable whenever one of them makes a post to the community tab about the other one. You can check his channel out, if you're intrested. It's called 'Dominic Noble' and I can recommend it.
As always thank you for continuing this series. I LIVE FOR IT! It’s the bright part of my day.
I found you because of Clint and holy your channel is top notch, instant subbed
Yey a new Murder, She Wrote video!!! I have to thank you for getting me into this wonderful series!!xx
This is one of my favourite episodes, and I will never apologize for it.
The woman playing the murderer in this also plays the old lady Mrs Hess in Home Alone 3, i dunno if that's relevant i just think it's cool. Very distinctive look
I think she was also Mrs Dudley the Housekeeper in the 1999 remake of The Haunting.
@@eamonndeane587 shout out to the haunting
So good to hear a Carry On name check 🙂 Might actually watch Carry On Screaming this weekend. Ooh matron (etc etc)
FRYING TONIGHT!
And here we have the legendary Robert Vaughn adding to the murder mystery trope of, "If someone's in a wheelchair, they're totally faking." There was another ep on MSW with that, too- the one about a guy who comes back to Cabot Cove after serving 20 years unjustly and wants to find the real killer.
PUR, as a person who also struggles with mental health issues I want to say you’re an inspiration. It’s a daily struggle, but to know there are others out there makes it easier to fight.
I can not properly explain how much "She was bored" made me laugh.
The judge,sherriff,fireman & Seth. WOOF!❤
3:43 - Please do a review of Carry On Screaming whenever you can!
I love when you review these... Your commentary is freakin hilarious 😂😂😂💀
As someone who also spent a lot of time with their grandparents I love this series so much. It lets me live out my fantasy of being able to discuss this show with my friends because we watch them together and so now they know enough I can do it.
Now time for my insane theory that doesn't fit with the tone or setting of the show: Jessica Fletcher isn't a serial killer, when her husband died he became some sort of grin reaper type thing as a ghost. The reason death follows her is because he loves her and wants to keep an eye on her but still has to collect souls. I don't think this would be something the show would ever do, but it's true in my heart and I love it.
3:37 apparently Cabot Cove is somewhere near Mockingbird Heights, because that house is 1313 Mockingbird Lane from The Munsters.
