Murder, She Wrote - The Complete Fifth Season (1984)

More of the same, but if you're a fan, that's a good thing

If you've made it to Season five of "Murder She Wrote", then you probably already have a pretty good idea of what this series is about and of whether you'll like it or not. Season five of "Murder She Wrote" is just more of the same. The only major change between this seasons and the ones before it is that Sheriff Amos Tupper (Tom Bosley) has "left" Cabot Cove and has been replaced by Sheriff Mort Metzger (Ron Masak) (Bosley actually left to star in his own mystery series, "The Father Dowling Mysteries", which is also likely to appeal to "Murder She Wrote" fans, although is not currently available on DVD). Although Amos is sorely missed, Sheriff Metzger does grow on you and by the end of the season, I found that I quite liked him. His outburst in the second last episode is absolutely hilarious. As usual, there are tons of guest stars. The highlights of this series include Roddy McDowall, Megan Mullally, Erin Gray, Paul Sorvino, Brad Dourif, Dee Wallace-Stone, Efrem Zimbalist Jr, and of course, William Windom as Dr Seth Hazlitt.

Murder, She Wrote - Complete Fifth Season

I've been a fervent fan of Angela Lansbury / Jessica Fletcher since the program first aired in the eighties, and am simply delighted to have copies of each season for my personal use.
Her use of vintage movie stars, TV stars, veteran actors, etc. adds an element of fun & surprise to each show. Also, soon-to-be super stars also pop up from time to time - (George Clooney, Andy Garcia, etc.).
