Right, lol?  But, I've wondered whether Angela Lansbury liked the idea of Jessica teaching criminology at a university, because the season after the second show-runner, David Moessinger, left, it seems like that was dropped entirely.

There's also a point in the latter seasons when I really start questioning whether Jessica needs a home base.  I mean, if she wasn't still in NYC, she was traveling all over the country (and the world).  It seemed like she was in Cabot Cove maybe one week out of every three months, lol.

Just saw another of the darker MSW episodes. Season 4, Episode 2, 'When Thieves Fall Out'

It's one of those episodes about people Jessica knows personally and her time as a teacher in Cabot Cove.

No spoilers, but the ending is really good as Jessica basically says she doesn't care that justice was done because the result has hurt her and so many people she cares about.

As a child I was traumatized by an episode in which Jessica was helping a woman, who was seeing her dead husband and hearing him around the house. It was very spooky and I had it recorded on VCR and would re-watch it all the time. Does anyone know which episode this is... in the end it ended up not being paranormal of course.

You might be talking about "Reflections of the Mind," which aired on 11/3/1985, during MSW's second season.  Guest stars included Ann Blyth, Ben Murphy, Stacy Nelkin, Esther Rolle, Steven Keats, Martin Milner and Wings Hauser (ex-Greg, Y&R).  What I loved about that episode was how Jessica did not at all think her friend (Blyth) was losing touch with reality; that, in fact, what she saw and heard were very real, and very clearly the work of someone trying to drive her mad.  Now that's a friend, lol!

@DaytimeFan

I watched a Columbo episode recently featuring Andrew Stevens. 

Walter Grauman from MSW directed the episode.

I was fascinated through the whole episode and thought you'd enjoy it too.

The episode is called murder in Malibu.

I agree.  It's one thing if MSW no longer fit within CBS' agenda.  No show runs forever.  But CBS owed Angela Lansbury the opportunity to close the show on her terms after everything she had done to help the network through what you yourself called some very awful years in the late '80's and early '90's.

100% this. Murder, She Wrote was CBS's rare bright spot in that third place primetime mess era. After carrying CBS primetime on her back for the better part of a decade, Angela deserved so much better at the end than what she got. There's a special place in hell for Les Moonves for the way he treated Angela and for his comment about her years later.

    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
